Blue Air BLPT48-D2L-HC 48" Refrigerated Sandwich & Salad Prep Table, 2 Left-Hand Drawers & Right Door
Blue Air BLPT48-D2L-HC — 48" Prep Table, Drawers Left / Door Right
Blue Air builds its four-foot prep counter in two handings, and the BLPT48-D2L-HC is the one with the drawer pair on the left and the self-closing swing door on the right. A 13.1 cu. ft. cabinet sits under a 12-well drop-in rail, and a rear-mounted 1/4 HP condensing unit on natural R-290 refrigerant keeps the whole thing between 33 °F and 39 °F. Specify this handing when the reach-in bay needs to swing open toward the open end of the line rather than into a wall or a neighbouring cabinet.
Key Features of the BLPT48-D2L-HC
Specification for specification the D2L twins the right-handed model — what changes is which end of the 48-3/8" cabinet opens and which end pulls out.
Swing Door on the Right
A single self-closing door closes the right-hand bay, so its swing clears toward the right of the counter — the layout to specify when the left end of the run butts a wall, a corner or another cabinet. Its gasket is a drop-in replacement and the Ni-Cr plated all-metal handle carries a lifetime guarantee.
Left Drawer Pair for 6" Pans
The left section is given over to two drawers, each dimensioned around a 6" deep food pan rather than the 4" pans used up top. Cooks working from the left end of the line reach par-stock without stooping or swinging a door into the aisle.
One Height-Adjustable Wire Shelf
Inside the door bay a single epoxy-coated wire shelf mounts on adjustable supports, letting you set one tall level for cambros or split the bay for boxed product. It shares the same 13.1 cu. ft. refrigerated envelope as the drawer side.
Twelve Cold Wells, Cover Included
The enclosed top takes twelve 1/6 size pans at 4" depth and every one is supplied with the counter. Fans push chilled air through that sealed rail, and the insulated cover with its stainless steel divider keeps drips out of the storage compartment below.
Even 33 °F to 39 °F Across Both Bays
A rear-wall air guard routes circulation so the drawer section and the shelved section land on the same temperature rather than the far end drifting warm. The electrodeposition-coated evaporator holds its heat-transfer rate as the coil ages and resists the corrosion that comes with daily washdown.
Digital Monitoring, Alarmed Door
A self-diagnostic digital temperature control drives the display and an automatic evaporator fan motor delay, and a visual plus audible alarm fires when the door has not latched. Rounded corners on the cabinet cut down on the knocks a busy prep station hands out.
Ordering the correct handing: BLPT48-D2L-HC and BLPT48-D2R-HC carry the same footprint, capacity, electrical draw and pan count — only the drawer and door sides swap, and handing cannot be reversed in the field. Confirm the direction the door needs to swing before you order, and allow for the 3" the drawing excludes for handle and rear spacers plus the 5" excluded for casters.
Ideal Applications
This handing earns its keep wherever the door has to open away from an obstruction, and the four-foot body slots into runs that will not take a 60" counter.

Frequently Asked Questions
Which side do the drawers sit on in the BLPT48-D2L-HC?
The two drawers occupy the left-hand section of the cabinet and the single self-closing swing door closes the right-hand section. If you need the opposite arrangement, order the BLPT48-D2R-HC, which is the same counter mirrored.
Will 6" pans fit the drawers, or only the 4" pans from the top?
Blue Air dimensions the drawers around 6" deep pans, which is a deeper format than the 4" pans that fill the rail. The twelve 1/6 size 4" pans arrive with the counter; the deeper drawer pans are ordered separately from Blue Air's accessory list.
Is the door hinging field-reversible?
No. Handing is set during manufacture on this series, which is exactly why Blue Air catalogs two part numbers instead of one. Decide on site which way the door has to swing — typically away from a wall, corner or adjacent equipment — and order the matching model.
What is the total capacity and how is it split?
The cabinet holds 13.1 cu. ft. across both sections. The drawer bay is fixed by the drawer slides, while the door bay carries one epoxy-coated wire shelf that can be raised or lowered to suit the containers you store there.
How much power does the BLPT48-D2L-HC draw?
It is a 115 V, 60 Hz single-phase unit rated at 4.1 amps with a 1/4 HP self-contained compressor, so a normal grounded 15 amp receptacle is enough. The supplied cord runs 9.8 ft (3 m) and terminates in a molded NEMA 5-15P plug.
What refrigerant and insulation does this counter use?
Cooling is done with R-290, a natural hydrocarbon with no ozone depletion potential, and the cabinet walls are foamed with cyclopentane that contains no hydrofluorocarbons. A hot gas frame heating circuit uses reclaimed heat to hold condensation off the cabinet frame.
