The BUNN TDO-N-3.5 is an industrial-grade dispenser designed for high-volume liquid management. It features a narrow 6.2-inch profile, allowing it to fit into tight spaces where traditional round dispensers cannot. The body is made of reinforced, BPA-free polypropylene, which is chosen for its resistance to the tannins found in tea and its ability to handle "direct brew" temperatures up to 200°F.
Practical reality for this 3.5-gallon unit includes its top-heavy nature when completely full; placing it on a level, stable surface is essential for safety. The faucet uses a standard thread that makes it field-serviceable, and it can be disassembled without tools for daily sanitation. Features include a solid lid that protects the contents from airborne contaminants in busy environments.
Specifications indicate a 2.3mm wall thickness, which is significantly more robust than residential dispensers. While it does not have active insulation, the density of the resin helps provide thermal inertia for chilled drinks. This is a durable, professional-standard choice for those who need to serve large groups efficiently.
For a different commercial option with an oval footprint and 4-gallon capacity, the BUNN TDO-4 is another reliable industrial choice. Check out our portable trolleys and carts for help moving heavy beverage dispensers.
