Description
The Traulsen TBC13-54-LP is a self-contained reach-in blast chiller designed for batch chilling in commercial kitchen production workflows. Its 13 universal tray slides accommodate either 13 full-size 18 in. x 26 in. sheet pans or 26 12 in. x 20 in. steam-table pans, with a 200 lb product capacity.
This left-hinged configuration combines touch-screen automatic or manual cycle operation with three removable food probes and a label printer. Cycle information can also be retained in onboard memory and accessed through the USB port, supporting documented batch workflows without requiring a separate remote refrigeration system.
Applications and Workflow
Suitable for commissaries, bakeries, restaurants, catering operations, and institutional kitchens that need to rapidly chill prepared batches on sheet pans or steam-table pans. This is a self-contained reach-in unit; it requires an electrical connection and a condensate-removal plan, rather than a separately supplied remote condenser system.
Features and Practical Benefits
High-volume pan capacity
Thirteen factory-installed universal tray slides support either 13 full-size sheet pans or 26 steam-table pans, helping kitchens move larger prepared batches through one chilling cycle.
Label-printing configuration
The -LP model designation identifies the label-printer configuration. It also retains the series' onboard cycle-data printing and USB-accessible cycle memory.
Flexible cycle setup
Touch-screen controls provide automatic and manual operation, with adjustable product target temperatures or cycle times and four chill settings.
Probe-based workflow
Three removable food probes monitor product during cycles, allowing operation by target temperature when probes are used or by time when they are not.
Service-conscious cabinet design
The condenser coil faces the front for cleaning access, while the stainless steel interior and exterior are suited to routine commercial-kitchen use.

Installation and Purchasing Considerations
- Allow a 41 in. W x 35 in. D x 74 in. H footprint, with the stated height based on standard 6 in. legs or casters.
- Plan for 59 1/8 in. overall depth when the door is open 90 degrees. The door is left hinged and has a stay-open position at 120 degrees.
- Provide a 208-230/115V, 60 Hz, single-phase electrical supply with the attached NEMA L14-20P plug. The unit draws 16.0 full-load amps and requires a 20 amp circuit.
- Arrange condensate removal with a floor drain or an optional condensate evaporator. The evaporator is field installed when selected.
- Keep the front-facing condenser coil accessible for regular cleaning and service. Confirm the final support configuration and site clearances before ordering or positioning the cabinet.
Choosing This Configuration
This exact TBC13-54-LP configuration is identified as left hinged and equipped with a label printer. The -LP designation is specifically associated with the label-printer option.
The label printer is distinct from the TBC series' onboard cycle-data printer. Do not assume other TBC13 configurations include the label printer.
A combi-oven compatibility kit is listed as an accessory for the series; it is not stated as included with this model.
An automatic electric condensate evaporator is optional and field installed, not standard equipment.
Frequently Asked Questions
What pan sizes fit the TBC13-54-LP?
Its 13 universal tray slides accommodate either 13 full-size 18 in. x 26 in. pans or 26 12 in. x 20 in. steam-table pans.
What electrical connection does this blast chiller use?
It uses 208-230/115V, 60 Hz, single-phase power and has an attached NEMA L14-20P plug. A 20 amp circuit is required.
How does the -LP version differ from a standard series unit?
The -LP designation identifies the label-printer configuration. The series also has an onboard printer for cycle data, which is a separate function from the label printer.
Is a condensate evaporator included?
No. The manufacturer lists an automatic electric condensate evaporator as a field-installed option. A floor drain or that optional evaporator is required for condensate removal.
