We pride ourselves on our hands-on, hand crafted philosophy which has served us well for 20 years, but it has meant that the mass production, budget end of the market has been out of our reach. As we are growing, we are constantly getting more and more requests for kilns

We are now, for the first time ever, selling a small range of kilns, that accommodate the "beginner" or "budget" end of the market, which are not produced by ourselves. However, as with all of our kilns, the back up and support that we offer for this range is first class.

Mercury

The Mercury is one of the entry level Top Loading kilns, these are ideal for domestic situations and professional studios working on a small scale.

The kiln is constructed of a low thermal mass 63.5mm thick insulation brick with a 19mm backup insulation this is then enclosed within a stainless steel outer jacket. The kiln lid and base are constructed of the same high quality low thermal mass insulation brick which is 76mm thick.
Kanthal A1 spiral wound elements are used to heat the kiln, the elements are located in grooves around the side walls of the kiln to allow uniform heat distribution throughout the chamber.

All top loading kilns are fitted with castors for easy movement, and two bung holes to assist with venting of the kiln and cooling.

Type 'R' thermocouples fitted as standard on UK kilns.
All kilns are fitted with a Harting socket for easy controller connection.
Lid fitted with a quick release lock and padlock provision.
Furniture set included.
36 month guarantee.

CE marked and have micro switches fitted to break full load upon opening the kiln to comply with both UK and European legislation.

Firing Costs for a 3.0kW Mercury Kiln.
A Typical 8 hour bisque firing, up to a temperature of 1050°C using a rate of 12p per kW per hour. These figures are an estimation only, all kilns and firings are unique.

Costing your own firing
A=Kilowatt rating of kiln (taken from data plate).
B=Firing times in hours x 0.6 (since the kiln is only on full power towards the end of its cycle).
C=Cost per kilowatt/unit (taken from your electricity bill)

Example
A x B x C = 3kW x 8 x (12 x 0.6) = £1.73p for a typical 8 hour bisque firing.

Aurora

The Aurora is one of the entry level Top Loading kilns, these are ideal for domestic situations and professional studios working on a small scale.

These kilns are constructed of a low thermal mass 63.5mm thick insulation brick with a 19mm backup insulation this is then enclosed within a stainless steel outer jacket. The kiln lid and base are constructed of the same high quality low thermal mass insulation brick which is 76mm thick.
Kanthal A1 spiral wound elements are used to heat the kiln, the elements are located in grooves around the side walls of the kiln to allow uniform heat distribution throughout the chamber and additionally the elements are graded from top to bottom further aiding even temperature distribution within the kiln.

All top loading kilns are fitted with castors for easy movement, and two bung holes to assist with venting of the kiln and cooling. Aurora kilns are now fitted as standard with two contactors to give greater protection against possible overfires, when used in conjunction with our range of microprocessor controllers.
