Perlick BC36RT-3 36" Forced Air Bottle Cooler - Holds (117) 12 oz Bottles, Lid Locks, Black, 120v

The Perlick BC36RT-3 36" Forced Air Bottle Cooler is a top-tier commercial refrigeration solution designed for bars, supermarkets, and restaurants that demand efficient, reliable bottle cooling. With a self-contained refrigeration system, this unit uses R290 hydrocarbon refrigerant—a more eco-friendly alternative to traditional refrigerants—while maintaining ultra-quiet operation (below 51 dB) to avoid disrupting busy environments. Its 8.6 cu. ft. capacity can hold 117 12oz bottles, making it ideal for high-volume beverage storage, whether it’s beer, seltzer, or spirits. The digital temperature control with display allows precise adjustments between 34–40°F, ensuring optimal cooling for different bottle types, while the condensate evaporator keeps coils clean and humidity-free, extending the unit’s lifespan.

Built for durability, the BC36RT-3 features stainless steel construction—including a dent-resistant, locking door—with die-cast handles for long-term reliability. The black vinyl-coated exterior blends seamlessly with commercial kitchens, while the 2-inch thick eco-friendly insulation minimizes energy waste, reducing operational costs. LED lighting is standard, providing even illumination for easy bottle retrieval, even in low-light settings. Its sliding door design and 24" depth make it a space-efficient choice for tight back-of-house layouts, whether in a bustling bar, retail store, or restaurant.

What sets the Perlick BC36RT-3 apart is its best-in-class performance and versatility. Unlike traditional bottle coolers, its forced-air cooling technology ensures faster and more consistent temperature distribution, preventing the warm-bottle issue that can degrade beverage quality. The adjustable temperature setting is crucial for businesses storing a mix of glass and plastic bottles, each with different cooling requirements. Additionally, its self-contained design (capillary tubes and condensing unit in one) eliminates the need for external refrigerant lines, simplifying installation and reducing maintenance. For commercial establishments prioritizing sustainability, efficiency, and reliability, the Perlick BC36RT-3 is the smart investment that delivers professional-grade cooling without the high costs of larger refrigeration systems.
