Description
The Traulsen TBC1H-20 is a left-hinged roll-in blast chiller for operations that load food on a compatible mobile rack and move the full rack into the cabinet. This configuration accommodates one rack and has no combi-oven compatibility feature. The cabinet provides maintenance refrigeration, while blast-chill operation requires connection to a separately supplied, adequately sized remote condensing unit.
A touchscreen supports automatic or manual cycle operation, with adjustable product-temperature targets or cycle times. Three removable food probes monitor product during probe-driven cycles, and the cabinet provides Blast Chill, Speed, Energy Saving, and Delicate settings. Cycle records can be printed onboard or retrieved through the USB port and stored 90-day memory.
Applications and Workflow
Use the TBC1H-20 in commissaries, catering operations, healthcare kitchens, bakeries, and high-volume restaurant production areas where a loaded mobile rack needs to move directly into a blast chiller. It is a one-rack roll-in cabinet with a left-hinged door, not a roll-thru/pass-through unit. Remote refrigeration must be planned and installed before blast-chill operation.
Features and Practical Benefits
Roll in a loaded rack
The cabinet accommodates one compatible roll-in rack, allowing batches to enter the chiller without transferring pans individually.
Flexible cycle control
Choose automatic operation or manually set a temperature-target or timed cycle. Four selectable chill settings support different product workflows.
Product monitoring tools
Three removable food probes are provided for monitoring probe-driven cycles, while timed cycles can be used when probes are not needed.
Cycle-record access
An onboard cycle-data printer, USB port, and 90-day data memory support retrieval and retention of cycle information.
Durable, service-conscious cabinet
The interior and exterior are stainless steel. The maintenance-system condenser coil faces forward for cleaning access.

Installation and Purchasing Considerations
- Plan for a 48.5 in. overall width, 37.63 in. overall depth, and 90.38 in. overall height.
- This is a left-hinged door. Allow 65 1/8 in. depth with the door open 90° and keep the door swing area clear.
- Provide 115/60/1 electrical service with a 20 A required circuit. No plug is listed; arrange a qualified hardwired connection as required by local code.
- Provide a floor drain for condensate removal, or specify the optional field-installed electric condensate evaporator.
- Blast chilling requires a separately supplied remote R-407A condensing unit. Coordinate remote capacity, refrigeration piping, and installation before ordering.
- Confirm the rack separately: the cabinet accepts one rack up to 27 in. W x 29 in. D x 72 in. H. A roll-in rack is not supplied standard.
Choosing This Configuration
TBC1H-20 is the left-hinged, roll-in configuration without combi-oven compatibility.
The standard TBC1H-20 does not include the optional label printer; models designated with the added “-LP” suffix include that option.
Do not confuse this cabinet with a right-hinged roll-in configuration or a roll-thru model.
The roll-in rack and remote condensing unit are separately purchased and coordinated items.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does the TBC1H-20 include a remote condensing unit?
No. Blast-chill operation requires connection to an adequately sized remote condensing unit, which is separately supplied.
Is a roll-in rack included?
No. The cabinet accommodates one roll-in rack, but racks are optional accessories. The maximum compatible rack dimensions are 27 in. wide, 29 in. deep, and 72 in. high.
What electrical service does this blast chiller need?
The maintenance refrigeration system is specified for 115/60/1 power, draws 16.0 full-load amps, and requires a 20 A circuit. No plug is listed.
Which way does the door hinge?
The TBC1H-20 has a left-hinged door. Plan for 65 1/8 in. overall depth when the door is open 90°.
