Blue Air BGM69SLW-HC 78" Sliding Glass Door Merchandiser Refrigerator, White, 61 cu. ft.
Blue Air BGM69SLW-HC — 78" Sliding Glass Door Merchandiser Refrigerator
The Blue Air Commercial Refrigeration BGM69SLW-HC is a 61 cu. ft. glass door merchandiser built for high-turn grab-and-go beverage sets, with three double-pane sliding glass doors that open along the cabinet face instead of swinging into the aisle. Twelve adjustable epoxy-coated wire shelves — four per compartment — split that volume into a full merchandising wall of cans, bottles and pre-packaged grab-and-go, lit end to end by interior LED lighting and topped with a backlit graphic panel. A bottom-mounted 3/4 HP R-290 system holds 33°F to 39°F behind a white painted steel cabinet that rolls on 4" casters.
Key Features of the BGM69SLW-HC
A merchandiser has to sell product through the glass, survive a customer-facing door cycle all day, and give the aisle back to the shopper — here is how the BGM69SLW-HC does each of those.
Three Sliding Doors That Never Enter the Aisle
All three doors slide along the 78-1/8" cabinet face rather than swinging out, so a customer can open the box in a narrow grab-and-go aisle without blocking the person behind them and you lose no floor space to a door arc. Each door is glazed with double-pane glass for energy efficiency, is designed to open easily under constant customer use, and carries a durable gasket built for straightforward field replacement.
12 Adjustable Shelves, Four Per Compartment
The cabinet carries twelve epoxy-coated wire shelves — four in each of the three door compartments — and every one is height-adjustable, so you can run tight can shelves in one bay and tall 2-liter or grab-and-go sandwich spacing in the next. The epoxy coating resists the corrosion that condensate and spilled beverages drive into bare wire, and additional shelves are available if you want to tighten the pitch further.
LED Interior Lighting and Backlit Graphic Panel
Interior LED lighting runs the height of the cabinet so labels and facings read clearly through the double-pane glass, without pushing the heat load a fluorescent tube puts back into a 61 cu. ft. box. The backlit graphic panel across the top gives you a lit header for branding or category signage that keeps working after the store lights come down.
Digital Control, Monitoring and Air Guard Circulation
A digital temperature control and monitoring system holds the box between 33°F and 39°F and puts the reading on a display staff can check in a walk-by, with programming that interprets refrigeration condition and automatic evaporator fan motor delays built in. An air guard on the rear wall directs circulation across all three compartments so product on a bottom shelf sees the same temperature as product at eye level.
Visual and Audible Door-Open Alarm
Sliding doors get left part-way open by customers, so the BGM69SLW-HC sounds and shows an alarm when a door is not fully closed — the difference between catching it in a minute and finding a warm bay at close. On a merchandiser holding 61 cu. ft. of pre-packaged product, that alarm is the cheapest spoilage insurance in the cabinet.
R-290 Refrigeration and HFC-Free Insulation
The self-contained 3/4 HP system uses R-290 hydrocarbon refrigerant, which carries no ozone-depletion potential, and the walls are insulated with cyclopentane containing no hydro-fluorocarbons. The evaporator is electrodeposition coated to hold its heat-transfer rate and resist corrosion over the life of the unit, and the compressor is bottom mounted on a front sliding refrigeration deck that pulls forward for service without moving the cabinet.
Measure the doorway, not just the wall: the BGM69SLW-HC stands 84" tall and 78-1/8" wide by 30-1/8" deep, so plan the delivery path through any standard 80" door frame before it arrives — and confirm ceiling and soffit clearance above the finished run. It ships at 583 lbs and weighs 517 lbs installed, riding on four 4" swivel casters with front brakes; 2-1/2" casters and 6" adjustable legs are available if you need to change the finished height.
Ideal Applications
A three-door, 61 cu. ft. sliding-door cabinet is aimed squarely at self-serve beverage and packaged grab-and-go sets where aisle width is tight and turns are high.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much product does the Blue Air BGM69SLW-HC hold?
Blue Air rates the cabinet at 61 cu. ft. behind three sliding glass doors, divided across twelve epoxy-coated wire shelves — four shelves in each of the three compartments. Because every shelf is height-adjustable, you can run a tight can pitch in one bay and taller spacing for 2-liter bottles or packaged grab-and-go in the next.
Why choose sliding doors instead of swing doors on a merchandiser?
Sliding doors travel along the face of the 78-1/8" cabinet instead of arcing out into the room, so you keep the aisle clear in front of the merchandiser and customers are not blocked by an open door. That matters most in convenience store and grab-and-go layouts where the aisle between fixtures is narrow, and it also means the cabinet can sit closer to opposing shelving than a swing-door model.
What temperature range does the BGM69SLW-HC hold, and can it store open food?
It is a refrigerator, not a freezer, and operates between 33°F and 39°F under a digital temperature control and monitoring system. Blue Air approves this merchandiser for pre-packaged foods only — shrink-wrapped or sealed items — so open or unpackaged product is not permitted in the cabinet.
Will the BGM69SLW-HC fit through my door and into my space?
The cabinet measures 78-1/8" wide by 30-1/8" deep and stands 84" tall, which is above a standard 80" door frame, so plan the delivery route and any ceiling or soffit clearance before it ships. It weighs 517 lbs net and 583 lbs crated, and arrives on four 4" swivel casters with front brakes so it can be rolled into final position.
What electrical service does this glass door merchandiser need?
The BGM69SLW-HC runs on a standard 115V/60Hz single-phase circuit and draws 7.5 amps, driving a 3/4 HP self-contained system. It terminates in a NEMA 5-15P plug on a 9.8 ft (3 m) flexible three-wire cord with a molded plug, so no hard wiring is required at the fixture.
How is the refrigeration serviced on a cabinet this size?
The compressor is bottom mounted on a front sliding refrigeration deck, so a technician can pull the unit forward and work on it without dragging the loaded merchandiser away from the wall. The evaporator is electrodeposition coated to maintain heat transfer and resist corrosion over time, and a bottom-mounted condensation pan is designed to prevent water overflow while improving ventilation.
