Description
The Traulsen TBC13-31-LP is a self-contained reach-in blast chiller configured with a left-hinged solid door, 6-inch legs, and a label printer. Its 13 universal tray slides support batch loading on full-size sheet pans or steam-table pans, while three removable probes help track product temperature during a cycle.
Use the touch-screen controller in automatic or manual operation to run chilling cycles by target temperature or time. This configuration combines the TBC13-31 left-hinged leg base with the -LP label-printer designation, making it a practical choice for production kitchens that need documented batch handling without a remote condenser installation.
Applications and Workflow
Suitable for restaurant prep kitchens, commissaries, bakeries, caterers, and institutional food production areas that chill batches on 18 x 26 inch sheet pans or 12 x 20 inch steam-table pans. This is a self-contained blast chiller, not a remote-refrigeration model. Plan for condensate removal through a floor drain or a separately selected electric condensate evaporator.
Features and Practical Benefits
High-volume pan loading
Thirteen factory-installed universal tray slides accommodate up to 13 full-size 18 x 26 inch pans or 26 12 x 20 inch steam-table pans.
Automatic or manual cycle operation
The touch-screen control supports automatic and manual operation, allowing staff to use target-temperature or timed chilling cycles.
Probe-based cycle tracking
Three removable food probes monitor cycle progress, while onboard memory retains cycle data for 90 days and a USB port supports data retrieval.
Label-printer configuration
The -LP suffix identifies this unit as the label-printer configuration, distinct from the standard TBC13-31 base unit.
Accessible condenser service
A front-facing condenser coil is designed for more convenient routine cleaning access.

Installation and Purchasing Considerations
- Allow an overall footprint of 41 inches wide by 35 inches deep, with a 74 inch overall height on the standard 6 inch legs.
- Provide 208-230/115V, single-phase, 60 Hz power on a 20 A circuit. The blast chiller has an attached NEMA L14-20P plug and a 16.0 A full-load rating.
- Confirm door-swing clearance on the left side before final placement; this TBC13-31 configuration is left hinged.
- Keep the front-facing condenser coil accessible for cleaning and service.
- Provide a floor drain for condensate removal, or separately select the optional automatic electric condensate evaporator. The evaporator is field installed and is not included as standard.
Choosing This Configuration
This exact TBC13-31-LP configuration is based on the left-hinged TBC13-31 with 6 inch legs and the label-printer designation.
It is a self-contained unit. Do not select it when the project specifically requires remote refrigeration.
Tray slides are factory installed, but sheet pans and steam-table pans are not identified as included.
Casters, a combi-oven compatibility kit, and an electric condensate evaporator are separate options and should not be assumed included.
Frequently Asked Questions
What pan sizes can the TBC13-31-LP hold?
Its 13 universal tray slides accommodate up to 13 pans measuring 18 x 26 inches or up to 26 pans measuring 12 x 20 inches. Pans are not identified as included.
What electrical connection does this blast chiller need?
It requires 208-230/115V, single-phase, 60 Hz power on a 20 A circuit. An attached NEMA L14-20P plug is specified.
Does the TBC13-31-LP include a label printer?
Yes. The -LP suffix identifies the label-printer configuration. The unit also has an onboard cycle data printer and 90-day cycle data memory.
How is condensate removed?
The installation requires a floor drain for condensate removal unless the optional automatic electric condensate evaporator is selected. That evaporator is field installed.
