Blue Air BLPT72-D6-HC 72" Refrigerated Sandwich & Salad Prep Table with 6 Drawers
Blue Air BLPT72-D6-HC — 72" Three-Section Sandwich Prep Table with Six Drawers
The Blue Air Commercial Refrigeration BLPT72-D6-HC is a three-section, 72-3/8" wide refrigerated sandwich and salad prep table that trades swing doors for six pan-depth drawers beneath an 18-pan cold rail. A 20.2 cu. ft. cabinet is cooled by a rear-mounted, self-contained system charged with R-290 hydrocarbon refrigerant, holding product between 33 °F and 39 °F through a full service. The easy-sliding condensing unit and electrodeposition-coated evaporator keep long-term maintenance straightforward on a station that runs open to close.
Key Features of the BLPT72-D6-HC
This is the widest drawer-base prep table in the BLPT line, and every detail is aimed at keeping a six-foot build station stocked, cold and easy to service.
Six Drawers Across Three Sections
Six drawers replace doors across all three sections and accept 6" deep food pans, so backup product lifts straight out at waist height. Nothing swings into the aisle behind a working line.
18-Pan Rail with Insulated Cover
The top rail carries eighteen 1/6 size, 4" deep pans — supplied with the unit — under an insulated pan cover fitted with a stainless steel divider that keeps spillage out of the storage cabinet below.
Forced-Air Drop-In Section
Fans push cold air into the enclosed drop-in area while an air guard on the rear wall keeps circulation even across all 72-3/8", so pans at the far end hold the same 33 °F to 39 °F as those nearest the compressor.
R-290 Refrigeration, HFC-Free Insulation
A 1/4 HP self-contained system runs on R-290 hydrocarbon refrigerant with zero ozone depletion potential, and the cabinet is foamed with cyclopentane insulation that contains no hydrofluorocarbons.
Self-Diagnostic Digital Control
A digital temperature control and monitor system puts cabinet temperature on a front display and manages automatic evaporator fan motor delay. A visual and audible open alarm warns the crew before a drawer left ajar costs you product.
Hot Gas Frame Heating & Coated Evaporator
An innovative hot gas frame heating system routes waste heat through the cabinet frame to cut condensation without an electric heater, and the electrodeposition-coated evaporator resists corrosion while holding its heat-transfer rate over the life of the unit.
Measuring for your line: the 30-3/64" listed depth does not include 3" for the handle and rear spacers, and the 37-19/32" listed height does not include 5" for the casters. At 72-3/8" long this unit needs a full six-foot bay plus rear service clearance for the sliding condensing unit.
Ideal Applications
A six-foot, three-section drawer base earns its space anywhere a wide ingredient list has to stay within arm's reach of one operator.

Frequently Asked Questions
How many pans does the BLPT72-D6-HC hold on top?
The rail holds eighteen 1/6 size pans, and a set of 4" deep 1/6 pans ships with the unit. The insulated pan cover carries a stainless steel divider that stops spillage from reaching the drawers underneath.
Why choose six drawers instead of doors on a 72" prep table?
Drawers pull straight out at working height, so a cook lifts a 6" pan of backup product without bending into a cabinet or holding a door open across a six-foot line. Shorter open times mean smaller temperature swings during a rush, and the six drawers let you keep each section's product separated by station.
What is the actual refrigerated capacity of this unit?
The BLPT72-D6-HC is published at 20.2 cu. ft. of refrigerated storage across its three sections. That is the figure Blue Air and its dealers list for the model, and it covers the drawer cabinet below the drop-in rail.
What electrical service does the BLPT72-D6-HC need?
It runs on standard 115 V / 60 Hz single-phase power and draws 5.3 amps, so a dedicated high-voltage circuit is not required. The unit arrives with a 9.8 ft (3 m) three-wire flexible cord and a molded NEMA 5-15P plug.
How much space should I allow around the cabinet?
Plan for 72-3/8" of length, then add 3" behind the listed 30-3/64" depth for the handle and rear spacers and 5" of height above the listed 37-19/32" for the casters. Because the condensing unit slides out from the rear for service, keep that side accessible rather than boxing the unit in.
Is R-290 refrigerant a problem in a commercial kitchen?
No. R-290 is a natural hydrocarbon refrigerant with no ozone depletion potential and very low global warming potential, and it is sealed in a factory-charged system. It is the standard charge across current Blue Air self-contained refrigeration and is covered by the unit's cETLus listing.
