THE GTA-T RANGE

The GTA range is a range of Glass Casting Kilns that are precisely controllable to ensure accurate casting, yet versatile enough to manage a wide range of glass processes.

The GTA Range is ideal for all types of glass casting, but was actually designed with more serious and prolonged use in mind.

From top quality insulation, to top quality elements, to a controller that enables highly complex firings and Wi-Fi capability, to it's optional extras (like automatic dampers and multi-zone) this really is a seriously effective range of kilns.

The GTA-T truck kilns are versions of our GTA range with trolley style floors which enable far greater access to the kiln base to enable easier loading.

Other than the trolley style floor the kilns are a GTA in every other respect, built with strength and longevity in mind.

GTA-T kilns in location at Westminster Adult Education centre, London, U.K.

The KCR32C is multi-program controller designed for glass, ceramics & pottery use. It is targeted towards glass use with 32 programs each of up to 32 segments. Each segment is a controlled heating/cooling ramp followed by a soak. It is supplied pre-programmed with 9 typical glass programs and 9 typical ceramics programs (which can be over-written).

The slow rate capability of the KCR32C, down to 1c per hour, makes it the perfect controller for complicated glass cycles.

KCR32C Controller features:

32 programs - each with up to 32 segments.
Each segment is a controlled heating/cooling ramp soak.
Suitable for glass or ceramics use.
Soak times up to nearly 100 hours.
Ramp rates from 1 to 999°C/hour full.
Program Pause & Segment Advance facilities.
Can be held remotely, allowing for an easy and comfortable programming process.

Keyboard lockable.
Delayed start facility - up to 4 days.
Power failure recovery.
Energy used display.
Event / Damper / Fan relay output.
Alarm relay with alarm buzzer.
Mains power switch.
Built in the United Kingdom.

KCR32C WIFI Controller (included as standard with GTA range)

The KCR32CWIFi is internally the same as the KCR32C but has the capability to be accessed

and controlled remotely from your mobile device.

This is one of the most important advances in Kilncare kilns for many years.

Using Kilncares GATEway access site you can view how your kiln is running in real time. Stop the

firing or adjust programs all without even being in the same country let alone the same room.

The KCR32WIFI is also fitted with a USB port that allows programs to be entered that way direct from PC if required and also allows us to apply updates and run diagnostics without travelling to your kiln.

Internet access to view real time status and access data

The optional KCR32C WIFI allows the user to access the kiln in real time from anywhere with internet access via the Kilncare GATEway on our website. The benefits of this are obvious as there is no longer the need to travel to the studio or work place to see how the firing is proceeding or if indeed the firing is going as planned.

Also in the GATEway, which is unique to each user via password access, there is a firings library where past firings can be stored and named, a notes section and a log amongst other features.

Optional ST535CWIFI controller

The ST535WIFI is a multi-zone controller designed for use on our larger kilns where total evenness of chamber temperature is much more difficult to maintain through simple kiln design alone. The controller monitors one section of the kiln and adjusts the other sections to maintain perfect chamber uniformity with regards to temperature.

The ST535WIFI can set as low as 0.1c per hour.

The rest of the ST535WIFI is as the KCR32CWIFI.

ST535CWIFI Controller features

Multi-zone control.
32 programs - each with up to 32 segments.
Each segment is a controlled heating/cooling ramp soak.
Suitable for glass or ceramics use.
Soak times up to nearly 100 hours.
Ramp rates from 1 to 999°C/hour full.
Program Pause & Segment Advance facilities.
Keypad lockable.

Wi-Fi capability

The KCR32C WIFI and ST535C WIFI allows the user to access the kiln in real time from anywhere with internet access via the Kilncare GATEway on our website. The benefits of this are obvious as there is no longer the need to travel to the studio or work place to see how the firing is proceeding or if indeed the firing is going as planned.

Also in the GATEway, which is unique to each user via password access, there is a firings library where past firings can be stored and named, a notes section and a log amongst other features.

Trolley style base

The GTA-T range comes with a trolley style base, which can be fully pulled out from the rest of the kiln. This allows for much easier loading and complete access to the base.

Reliable seal and robust front face

The door seal is maintained by non-ceramic fibre that is set into a channel around the front face, which ensures it stays in place, unlike other methods of "Stick on" fibre seals which often tend to fall off.

The Front Face itself and the base are made from "Hard" insulation bricks to reduce the damage caused by knocks and bumps during loading.

All of the kiln doors in the GTA-T range are made of the same high grade insulation bricks as the chamber sides.

Arched roof

Each GTA-T kiln will have an arched roof, providing that extra strength needed to keep a robust interior.

Built to last

On our new models, the front face of the kiln is protected with stainless steel to prevent heat damage through hot opening.

The GTA-T kilns also receive fully breathable stainless steel top and sides, with vented side slats. The door is double skinned and vented.

Over-fire and door switch safety

Each GTA consists of a door safety cut off switch along with a dual contactor door cut off circuit, which also acts as a dual contactor over fire protection circuit, making the kiln extremely safe.

Kanthal A1 elements

The GTA-T range, along with the vast majority of Kilncare kilns, utilises Kanthal A1 elements (which are widely regarded as the best quality elements available), ensuring unbeatable reliability and durability.

Manually operated roof vents or optional automatic vents

The roof vent (2 on larger models) is operated by a manual stainless steel damper box, automatic dampers are optional, and can be fitted to all GTA kilns.

This allows the roof vents to opened and closed multiple times throughout the duration of the firing at the temperatures required.

The opening and closing cycle is programmed into the controller so enabling the user to start the kiln then not have to return to it for any action other than monitoring until the cycle is finished. Extremely useful on larger models where firings can last for many days or even weeks.

Optional multi zone

The optional ST535WIFI is a multi-zone controller designed for use on our larger kilns where total evenness of chamber temperature is much more difficult to maintain through simple kiln design alone. The controller monitors one section of the kiln and adjusts the other sections to maintain perfect chamber uniformity with regards to temperature.

Optional floor heat

The GTA range comes without heating elements in the floor as standard, but with larger or thicker pieces in our larger models, some artists op for the optional heated elements in the floor to really ensure the most even temperature throughout the kiln as possible (although this all depends on circumstance and preference).

3 Year Warranty

The GTA range comes with a 3 year warranty that applies for all parts (inc elements)! The fact that we are able to offer such a long warranty on these kilns just goes to show how well made they are and how they are truly built to last.

Made In The UK

The GTA range, along with all other Kilncare kilns, is made right here at Kilncare, in Stoke-on-Trent, United Kingdom.
