Blue Air BACB86M-HC 17.2 Cu. Ft. Marine Edge Refrigerated Chef Base
The Blue Air BACB86M-HC is an 86-1/4 inch Marine Edge refrigerated chef base designed for commercial kitchens that need substantial refrigerated storage directly beneath cooking equipment. Its 17.2 cu. ft. capacity and four-drawer configuration provide organized access to refrigerated ingredients while the heavy-duty stainless steel top provides a durable surface for compatible countertop cooking equipment.
The four drawers use stainless steel telescoping slides with stainless steel roller-bearing wheels and accommodate 4 inch deep 12 inch × 20 inch food pans. Heavy-duty pan adapter bars are included for full-size pans, and the drawer slides are designed to support up to 200 lb per drawer. Durable replaceable drawer gaskets and heavy-duty metal handles are also incorporated into the drawer construction.
A side-mounted, self-contained refrigeration system uses R-290 refrigerant and a 3/8 HP compressor. The unit maintains a specified operating range of approximately 33°F–39°F and includes automatic defrost. A sliding condensing unit provides access for service and maintenance without requiring the entire chef base to be moved.
The Marine Edge top helps contain spills around the working surface, while stainless steel construction across the top, interior, front, and sides is suited to demanding foodservice environments. High-density foamed-in-place polyurethane insulation supports the refrigerated cabinet, and six 4 inch swivel casters, including two braked casters, provide mobility for installation and cleaning.
The BACB86M-HC measures 86-1/4 inch W × 31 inch D × 25-1/2 inch H. Blue Air specifies 115V, 60Hz, single-phase electrical service, 3.5 amps, and a NEMA 5-15 plug. The model is ETL Listed and conforms to NSF/ANSI 7 requirements; commercial-equipment documentation also identifies UL and cUL certification.
The BACB86M-HC is suited to restaurants, hotels, catering operations, institutional kitchens, cafés, and high-volume foodservice operations that require large-capacity refrigerated storage along the cooking line.
