Description
The Traulsen TBC5-58 is a self-contained undercounter blast chiller designed for rapidly chilling cooked food in a compact 54-inch-wide footprint. Its stainless steel work top provides a useful landing and prep surface, while the five factory-installed universal tray slides accommodate up to five 18 x 26 inch pans or ten 12 x 20 inch pans.
This exact TBC5-58 configuration has a left-hinged solid door, 6-inch casters, and a stainless steel back. Operators can use the touchscreen in automatic or manual mode, monitor products with the three removable probes, and access stored cycle information through the onboard printer or USB port.
Applications and Workflow
Suitable for commercial kitchens that need an undercounter blast-chilling station for batch-cooked food held in 18 x 26 inch sheet pans or 12 x 20 inch steam-table pans. It is a blast chiller, not a freezer or a general-purpose refrigerated prep table; plan workflow around its five tray-slide positions and 100 lb product capacity.
Features and Practical Benefits
Configured for mobile undercounter placement
The TBC5-58 is the left-hinged, stainless-back version supplied on 6-inch casters, making it appropriate where the door swing and equipment mobility need to be planned together.
Five-position pan support
Five adjustable universal tray slides are factory installed. The cabinet is rated for five 18 x 26 inch pans or ten 12 x 20 inch pans.
Probe- or time-based cycle operation
Three removable food probes support monitored cycles. The touchscreen also allows automatic operation or manually adjusted target temperatures and cycle times.
Cycle documentation tools
An onboard cycle-data printer, USB port, and 90-day cycle-data memory support kitchen recordkeeping without requiring the optional label printer.
Service-oriented refrigeration layout
The self-contained refrigeration system uses a front-facing condenser coil, allowing coil access from the front for routine cleaning.

Installation and Purchasing Considerations
- Allow a finished footprint of 54 inches wide by 34 7/8 inches deep by 33 3/4 inches high. The listed height is when the unit is mounted on its standard 6-inch casters.
- Plan the left-hinged door path before positioning the cabinet. At a 90-degree door opening, overall depth is 58 5/8 inches.
- Connect to a dedicated 115V, single-phase, 60 Hz, 20 amp circuit using the attached NEMA 5-20P plug. The unit has a 9-foot cord and requires three feed wires with ground.
- This is a self-contained unit with a front-facing condenser coil. Keep the front coil accessible for cleaning and service; the manufacturer lists required clearance as not applicable.
- Verify that the receiving route and final location can accommodate the cabinet dimensions and door opening. Do not assume pans or an optional label printer are included.
Choosing This Configuration
TBC5-58 specifically combines left hinging, 6-inch casters, and a stainless steel back. Other TBC5 configurations use different hinge, support, and back combinations.
The label printer is an option identified by the -LP suffix; it is not established as included with TBC5-58.
Five universal tray slides are included. Pan capacity describes the cabinet arrangement and should not be read as confirmation that pans are supplied.
