Blue Air BACB48-HC 8.6 Cu. Ft. Refrigerated Chef Base with Two Drawers
The Blue Air BACB48-HC is a 48 inch refrigerated chef base built to provide refrigerated ingredient storage directly beneath countertop cooking equipment. Its 8.6 cu. ft. capacity and two-drawer configuration give commercial kitchens convenient access to chilled ingredients while making practical use of space beneath the cooking line.
The unit features stainless steel interior and exterior construction, a heavy-duty top panel, and four 4 inch swivel casters with front brakes. Its two drawers use stainless steel telescoping slides with roller-bearing wheels and can accommodate 4 inch deep 12 inch × 20 inch pans. The drawer slides are designed to support up to 200 lb per drawer, while pan adapter bars are supplied for full-size pans.
Refrigeration is provided by a side-mounted 1/4 HP self-contained system using R-290 refrigerant. The front-breathing configuration allows the refrigeration system to be serviced without moving the chef base, which can be useful in space-conscious kitchen layouts. Automatic defrost, an epoxy-coated evaporator, and a hot gas frame heating system are included in the refrigeration design.
The BACB48-HC is designed to maintain a refrigerated temperature range of approximately 33°F–39°F according to Blue Air product specifications. The unit operates on 115V, 60Hz, single-phase power, draws 3.0A, and uses a NEMA 5-15P plug. Its exterior dimensions are approximately 48 inch W × 30-1/2 inch D × 25-1/8 inch H, providing a low-profile refrigerated base for professional foodservice applications.
The model is ETL Listed and manufacturer documentation states that it conforms to NSF/ANSI 7 requirements. The BACB48-HC is suited to restaurants, hotels, catering operations, cafés, institutional kitchens, and other commercial foodservice environments where refrigerated storage needs to remain close to food preparation and cooking equipment.
