Description
The Traulsen TBC1HR-3 is a roll-thru blast chiller designed to move a loaded mobile rack through a rapid chilling cycle, then maintain the selected target temperature after the cycle ends. This configuration has front and rear right-hand-hinged doors and accommodates one roll-in rack within the specified maximum rack envelope.
Touchscreen controls support automatic or manual operation, selectable cycle times or product targets, and four chill settings. Three removable probes monitor product during a cycle, while the onboard printer and USB/data-memory functions support cycle record retrieval. This is a remote-condensing blast-chill configuration: an adequately sized remote condensing unit is required for blast chill operation and is not included.
Applications and Workflow
Suitable for production kitchens, commissaries, bakeries, and other commercial operations that need to chill batches loaded on a single mobile rack. Plan this unit as a rack-through blast chiller rather than a supplied-rack package: the rack is an optional accessory. It requires a separately provided remote condensing system for blast chilling.
Features and Practical Benefits
Roll-thru rack workflow
Front and rear doors allow a loaded rack to enter from one side and exit from the other, helping organize production flow. The cabinet accommodates one rack up to 27 in. wide, 29 in. deep, and 72 in. high.
Flexible cycle setup
Automatic and manual modes let staff run a programmed cycle using probes or select a timed cycle. Product target temperatures are adjustable from 40°F to -5°F.
Cycle documentation tools
Three removable food probes, an onboard cycle-data printer, USB access, and 90-day cycle-data memory help document chilling activity.
Remote blast-chill design
The blast-chill circuit is designed to connect to a remote R-407A condensing unit. The specified recommended load is 18,700 BTU/hr at the evaporator.
Service-conscious cabinet details
The stainless steel interior and exterior, removable probes, and long-life door gaskets support routine cleaning and daily production use.

Installation and Purchasing Considerations
- Provide a freestanding footprint approximately 48 1/2 in. wide by 41 1/4 in. deep by 90 3/8 in. high. The 41 1/4 in. depth is specific to the roll-thru TBC1HR configuration.
- Allow for door swing before final placement. At 90° open, the roll-thru configuration requires up to 96 1/4 in. overall depth.
- Connect the maintenance refrigeration electrical supply to 115V, 60Hz, single-phase power. It has no plug supplied, draws 16.0 full-load amps, and requires a 20-amp circuit.
- Provide a properly sized remote R-407A condensing unit for blast-chill operation. The specified suction and liquid line connections are 7/8 in. and 1/2 in., respectively.
- Provide a floor drain for condensate removal, or specify the optional electric condensate evaporator. Verify the remote refrigeration design, line routing, and condensate approach before ordering.
- Measure the rack before purchase. The cabinet accepts one rack with wheels inboard of the frame, no larger than 27 in. W x 29 in. D x 72 in. H. A rack is not supplied as standard.
Choosing This Configuration
TBC1HR-3 is the roll-thru, front-and-rear right-hand-hinged configuration; it is not the left/right-hinged TBC1HR-1 configuration.
The standard TBC1HR-3 does not include the optional label printer indicated by the “-LP” suffix on other configurations.
Although it uses a self-contained maintenance refrigeration system, blast-chill operation requires a separately provided remote condensing unit.
Do not assume a mobile rack is included. The manufacturer identifies racks as optional accessories.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does the TBC1HR-3 include a remote condensing unit?
No. Blast-chill operation requires connection to an adequately sized remote R-407A condensing unit, which must be provided separately.
Is a roll-in rack included with this blast chiller?
No. The cabinet accommodates one roll-in rack, but racks are not supplied as standard. Confirm the rack fits within the 27 in. W x 29 in. D x 72 in. H maximum envelope.
What electrical service does it need?
The maintenance refrigeration system is specified for 115V, 60Hz, single-phase power, with 16.0 full-load amps and a required 20-amp circuit. No plug is specified.
How does the roll-thru door arrangement differ on this model?
TBC1HR-3 has front and rear right-hand-hinged doors, allowing rack passage through the cabinet. Plan up to 96 1/4 in. depth when the door is open 90°.
