The U15 element enamelling kiln is one of the most versatile models from within our range. The firing chamber size allows for the execution of all enamelling techniques from small jewellery items up to larger plaques or bowls. Heated from two side elements one is allowed the full interior space to place objects to be fired and with a quick heat up time and light overall weight, one may use this kiln model anywhere, from kitchen table to workshop. A great model to teach with, the floor insulating brick allows for spillage to occur without damage to the heating elements. The U15 kiln is pre drilled in the back wall for easy insertion of the ceramic probe if used with a pyrometer to give accurate temperature indication. The up and over door allows for hands free operation when inserting meshes or stilts to be fired and the peep hole in the centre door will show interior chamber colour when the door is shut. Simply plug this kiln into any domestic power supply and away you go. A slight decolouration will occur to exterior paint over time but this will never effect the kilns use.
For prolonged use of this kiln i.e. for several hours each day, it is suggested that our temperature energy controller (U0001) be used. This device when fitted between the power supply and the kiln will control the amount of electricity entering the unit and thus regulate the kiln temperature. The U0001 will also allow for economic use of the kiln as the regulator can be set to halfway if there is a pause in the kilns use allowing for only 50% of the electricity to be used and then reset to a hight number to reheat when recommencing firing. There is no restriction in technique with this kiln and the secure insulation of the firing chamber heat guarantees an even distribution over any object fired. A quality kiln offering reliability and long service, the U15 element kiln is widely used by hobbyist, professional and educational practitioner alike.
A full range of spare parts are available separately and may easily be fitted by anyone with the very basic knowledge of electrical application.
