Blue Air BLPT48-D2R-HC 48" Refrigerated Sandwich & Salad Prep Table, 2 Right-Hand Drawers & Left Door
Blue Air BLPT48-D2R-HC — 48" Prep Table, Drawers Right / Door Left
The Blue Air Commercial Refrigeration BLPT48-D2R-HC is the right-hand drawer build of Blue Air's 48" sandwich and salad prep counter: two 6"-pan drawers occupy the right section while a self-closing swing door and one adjustable wire shelf hold the left. Below a 12-pan drop-in rail the cabinet carries 13.1 cu. ft. held at 33 °F to 39 °F by a rear-mounted, self-contained system running R-290 hydrocarbon refrigerant. Choose this variant when the cook stands to the left of the station and wants the drawer bank falling under the dominant hand.
Key Features of the BLPT48-D2R-HC
Everything below the rail is arranged around one decision — which side of the counter your drawer bank lives on — and on the D2R that side is the right.
Drawer Bank on the Right
Two drawers fill the right-hand section and each swallows a 6" deep food pan, so backup protein or a par-stocked mise pan slides straight out at waist height. Pairing them on the right suits a build line that runs left to right and ends at the wrap station.
Left Section Behind a Self-Closing Door
The opposite section keeps a single self-closing swing door hinged on the left, fitted with a replaceable gasket and a Ni-Cr plated all-metal handle that Blue Air guarantees for the life of the cabinet. One adjustable epoxy-coated wire shelf divides that bay for case goods the drawers cannot take.
12-Pan Enclosed Rail
Twelve 1/6 size, 4" deep pans ship with the unit and drop into an enclosed top where fans push cold air around every well. The insulated pan cover carries a stainless steel divider that stops spillage from reaching the 13.1 cu. ft. storage cabinet underneath.
Air Guard and Coated Evaporator
An air guard on the rear wall steers circulation so the drawer section and the door section sit at the same point in the 33 °F to 39 °F band. The evaporator is electrodeposition coated, which holds its heat-transfer rate and resists corrosion far longer than a bare aluminium coil in a wet prep environment.
R-290 Charge, Cyclopentane Walls
A 1/4 HP self-contained system charged with R-290 hydrocarbon does the cooling with zero ozone depletion potential, and the panels are foamed with cyclopentane that contains no hydrofluorocarbons. A hot gas frame heating system reuses that heat at the cabinet frame to cut condensation.
Self-Diagnostic Digital Control
Cabinet temperature reads out on a digital display backed by a self-diagnostic monitor system and automatic evaporator fan motor delay. If the swing door is left ajar, a visual and audible alarm sounds before the load in that section warms.
Handing matters more than the tape measure here: the D2R and the mirrored D2L are dimensionally identical, so plan the bay around 48-3/8" of width, then pick the model by which end of the counter your cook works from. Depth on the drawing excludes 3" for the handle and rear spacers and the height excludes 5" for the casters, and the condensing unit slides out from the rear, so keep that face reachable.
Ideal Applications
Four feet of counter with one drawer bank and one shelved bay covers the stations that need both quick-pull pans and a place for cased backup.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does the R in BLPT48-D2R-HC actually refer to?
It identifies which section carries the two drawers. On the BLPT48-D2R-HC the drawer bank is the right-hand section and the self-closing swing door is on the left. The mirrored BLPT48-D2L-HC reverses that layout with the same 48-3/8" cabinet, 13.1 cu. ft. capacity and 12-pan rail.
How many food pans does the drop-in top hold, and are they supplied?
The rail is configured for twelve 1/6 size pans, 4" deep, and all twelve are included with the unit along with the insulated cover and its stainless steel divider. The two drawers below are built around deeper 6" pans, which Blue Air lists as an accessory rather than shipping them in the carton.
Can I fit full cases in the door section?
The left bay is a single refrigerated compartment with one epoxy-coated wire shelf whose height is adjustable, so you can set it high for tall containers or low to double the usable levels. Total cabinet volume including the drawer section is 13.1 cu. ft., which is enough for a day of par-stock behind a four-foot line.
Does this prep table need a special outlet?
No. The BLPT48-D2R-HC runs on a standard 115 V, 60 Hz single-phase circuit and draws 4.1 amps, and it arrives with a 9.8 ft (3 m) flexible three-wire cord ending in a molded NEMA 5-15P plug. Any grounded commercial 15 amp receptacle within reach of that cord will run it.
How much room do I need around the cabinet for service?
The condensing unit is rear mounted on an easy-sliding tray, so the back of the cabinet has to stay reachable for coil cleaning and compressor work. Remember that the published 30-3/64" depth leaves out 3" for the door handle and rear spacers, and the 37-19/32" height leaves out 5" for the casters.
Is the BLPT48-D2R-HC certified for use in an inspected kitchen?
It carries cETLus electrical listing and ETL-Sanitation and conforms to NSF/ANSI 7 for refrigerated food service equipment. Combined with the digital temperature display and the door-open alarm, that makes HACCP logging and a health inspection straightforward.
