Description
The Traulsen TBC13-28-LP is a self-contained reach-in blast chiller with a right-hinged solid door, 13 factory-installed universal tray slides, and an integrated label-printer configuration. Its 200 lb product capacity and compatibility with either 13 full-size 18 in. x 26 in. pans or 26 12 in. x 20 in. pans support batch chilling in production kitchens, bakeries, and prepared-food operations.
Operators can run automatic or manually adjusted chill cycles from the touch-screen control. Three removable food probes track product temperatures, while cycle information is retained in memory and can be printed. The cabinet uses dual refrigeration systems and a front-facing condenser coil for accessible cleaning.
Applications and Workflow
Suitable for commercial kitchens that need to chill prepared batches on full-size sheet pans or steam-table pans, including commissaries, bakeries, catering production areas, and high-volume prep kitchens. This is a self-contained blast chiller, not a remote-condensing model. Plan for condensate drainage or purchase the optional electric condensate evaporator separately.
Features and Practical Benefits
Label-printer configuration
The -LP suffix identifies the label-printer-equipped configuration, allowing cycle records to be printed as part of the operation.
Flexible pan format
Thirteen universal tray slides accommodate up to 13 18 in. x 26 in. pans or 26 12 in. x 20 in. pans, helping one cabinet support bakery and food-pan workflows.
Probe-based cycle monitoring
Three removable food probes support temperature-monitored cycles, and the control stores cycle data for 90 days.
Accessible refrigeration maintenance
The self-contained dual refrigeration system has a front-facing condenser coil intended for easier cleaning access.
Right-hinged mobile cabinet
This exact configuration has a right-hinged door and 6 in. casters; account for the door swing and rolling-unit positioning in the prep area.

Installation and Purchasing Considerations
- Provide a finished footprint of 41 in. W x 35 in. D x 74 in. H. The stated height is with the standard 6 in. legs or casters installed.
- Allow for a 59 1/8 in. overall depth when the door is opened 90 degrees; verify that this right-hinged door swing will not obstruct aisles or adjacent equipment.
- Connect to 208-230/115V, single-phase, 60 Hz power using the attached NEMA L14-20P plug. The unit lists 16.0 full-load amps and requires a 20 A circuit.
- Provide the listed side clearance: 3 in. under the lower stated ambient condition or 5 1/2 in. under the higher stated ambient condition. Keep the front-facing condenser accessible for cleaning.
- Plan a floor drain for condensate removal, or specify the optional field-installed automatic electric condensate evaporator. Do not assume the evaporator is included.
- Confirm whether your operation will use 18 in. x 26 in. sheet pans or 12 in. x 20 in. steam-table pans. Pans are not identified as included.
Choosing This Configuration
TBC13-28-LP is the right-hinged, 6 in. caster version of the TBC13 cabinet with the label-printer designation.
The TBC13 cabinet has 13 tray slides and a 200 lb product capacity; its pan capacity is expressed as either 13 sheet pans or 26 steam-table pans, not both loaded as separate capacities at the same time.
A remote-application version and an electric condensate evaporator are identified as separate available options, not standard features of this self-contained model.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does the -LP suffix mean on the TBC13-28-LP?
Traulsen identifies the label printer as the option that adds “-LP” to the device number. This model is therefore the label-printer-equipped configuration.
What pans fit this blast chiller?
The cabinet has 13 universal tray slides and is rated for either 13 18 in. x 26 in. pans or 26 12 in. x 20 in. pans. Verify your pan type and quantity before purchase; pans are not stated as supplied.
What electrical service does it need?
It requires 208-230/115V, single-phase, 60 Hz power. An attached NEMA L14-20P plug is specified, with 16.0 full-load amps and a required 20 A circuit.
Does this unit need a drain?
Yes. The manufacturer states that a floor drain or optional condensate evaporator is required for condensate removal. The electric evaporator is a field-installed option.
