Blue Air BLUR72-D6-HC 72" Undercounter Refrigerator with 6 Drawers
Blue Air BLUR72-D6-HC — 72" Undercounter Refrigerator, Six Drawers
Skip the doors entirely: the BLUR72-D6-HC is the all-drawer build of Blue Air Commercial Refrigeration's 72-3/8" lowboy, splitting 20.2 cu. ft. across six drawers in three equal 23-7/8" sections. Every drawer is sized for a 6" deep pan, so mise en place slides out to the cook instead of hiding at the back of a shelf. A rear-mounted 1/4 HP self-contained system on R-290 hydrocarbon refrigerant holds the whole cabinet between 33 °F and 39 °F off one 115 V cord.
Key Features of the BLUR72-D6-HC
An all-drawer base is chosen for reach and speed, and the BLUR72-D6-HC is built around keeping six pans of product cold, dry and instantly available.
Six Drawers, Two Per Section
The 72-3/8" cabinet is divided into three 23-7/8" sections, each carrying a stacked pair of drawers for six total, and every one accommodates a 6" deep food pan. There are no shelves and no swing doors in this build — the entire 20.2 cu. ft. is drawer-accessed, which is why cooks can portion straight out of the base without stepping back from the line.
Full-Extension Reach Instead of Deep Shelves
Pulling a drawer brings the pan to the cook rather than making them lean into a 30" deep cabinet, so nothing gets lost at the back and rotation actually happens. Lifetime-guaranteed all-metal Ni-Cr plated handles are fitted on every drawer front, and the rounded-corner cabinet design keeps sharp edges away from a busy aisle.
Hot Gas Frame Heating Across Six Openings
Six drawer openings mean six frames that could sweat on a humid line. Blue Air routes discharge gas through the cabinet frame instead of running an electric perimeter heater, which keeps the frames dry, protects the gaskets and puts waste heat to work rather than adding electrical load.
R-290 Refrigerant and HFC-Free Insulation
The self-contained 1/4 HP condensing unit is charged with R-290 hydrocarbon refrigerant, which does not deplete ozone, and the walls are foamed with cyclopentane containing no hydrofluorocarbons. The evaporator carries an electrodeposition coating that maintains its heat transfer rate and resists corrosion over the life of the coil.
Self-Diagnostic Control with Open Alarm
A self-diagnostic digital temperature control and monitor system shows cabinet temperature on a front digital display and includes manual defrost for scheduled cleaning. Visual and audible alarms sound when a drawer is left ajar — a real safeguard on a base with six separate openings that get pushed shut with a hip in the middle of service.
Rolls Out for Service
Four 4" swivel casters, the front two braked, come standard, and the rear-mounted condensing unit sits on an easy-sliding tray. That combination lets one person roll the 328 lb cabinet clear of the line and pull the unit forward for coil cleaning instead of dismantling the counter around it.
Sizing the opening: the published 30" depth does not include 3" for handles and rear spacers, and the 30-29/32" body height does not include 5" for the standard casters — figure roughly 35-29/32" installed and 33" of clearance front to back. Because every section is a drawer, also leave the full drawer travel in front of the unit; 2.5" casters are available from Blue Air if the counter height runs tight.
Ideal Applications
The six-drawer build belongs wherever cooks work off pans rather than cases.

Frequently Asked Questions
How many pans does the BLUR72-D6-HC hold?
Six — one 6" deep food pan per drawer, with two drawers in each of the three 23-7/8" sections. Because this is the all-drawer configuration there are no shelves in the cabinet, so the full 20.2 cu. ft. is organized as drawer storage rather than open compartments.
How does this differ from the door and drawer/door versions of the 72" Blue Air lowboy?
All BLUR72 models share the same 72-3/8" three-section cabinet, 20.2 cu. ft. capacity and 1/4 HP R-290 refrigeration. The difference is access: the BLUR72-D6-HC gives you six drawers and no doors or shelves, while the door and mixed drawer/door builds trade drawer count for shelved compartments. Pick the all-drawer version when your product lives in pans and speed of reach matters more than case storage.
Will the BLUR72-D6-HC slide under a 36" counter?
The cabinet body is 30-29/32" tall and the standard 4" swivel casters add roughly 5", so installed height lands near 35-29/32". That fits under a typical 36" countertop with a small margin. If your opening or floor is tight, Blue Air offers 2.5" diameter casters as an option.
What electrical service does it need?
One standard 115 V / 60 Hz single-phase receptacle. The unit draws 5.0 amps and ships with a 9.8 ft (3 m) flexible three-wire cord and a NEMA 5-15P plug already attached, so no dedicated high-amperage circuit or hard-wiring is required for the full 72" run.
Do all six drawers stay evenly cold?
Yes. An air guard on the rear wall spreads circulation across all three sections so each drawer sits in the 33 °F to 39 °F band, and the self-diagnostic digital control monitors the cabinet continuously. Visual and audible alarms let the crew know immediately if a drawer has not been pushed fully closed.
What does the BLUR72-D6-HC weigh and how is it delivered?
Net weight is 328 lbs (149 kg) and shipping weight is 397 lbs (180 kg) — noticeably heavier than the door versions because of the six drawer assemblies. Plan on a lift gate and two people for placement; once on the floor, the four swivel casters make final positioning and pull-out cleaning a one-person job.
