THE HGT RANGE

Kilncare HGT pick up kilns are based on our extremely reliable top loading range, but are modified to suit the Hot Glass Studio. Ideal for processes such as colour warming, adding inclusions, graal embryo and other hot glass work. HGT kilns have a heavy duty stainless steel chamber opening frame, designed to protect the kiln wall top against accidental damage whilst handling heavy items.

The stainless steel lid is assisted by gas springs which allow the lid to be opened at working temperatures. High grade insulation ensures low case temperatures, and rapid reclamation of heat after "at temperature" loading. The HGT frames are made from rust resistant metal, and are powder coated then oven baked.

Controller included KCR32C

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 WIFI Controller (optional)

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.

Non ceramic fibre Lid

The lids are stainless steel and stack bonded with non ceramic fibre, a tried and tested technique that guarantees no fibre droppage onto your work. To top it off the lid opens near vertical providing unrestricted access for loading!

Highly insulated walls

The walls are made with thick, very low thermo-conductive bricks, ensuring low thermal loss, low case temperature, and rapid reclaiming of heat during 'at temperature' loading.

Kanthal A1 elements

The HGT 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.

Gas Spring Lid Assist

Lifting the lid on an HGT is aided by specially designed gas springs that allow the opening and closing of lid to be a very easy and light operation.

This makes the kiln completely user friendly but also helps in prolonged life due to the reduction of shock through "heavy" opening and closing of the lid.

Roof vent hole and vent bung

On the roof of the kilns are a single vent hole with a vent tube inside, allowing for extra ventilation for cooling the kiln quicker once the firing has completed. There is also a provided bung, allowing the vent hole to be kept shut to allow for less heat loss during firings.

Built to last

Each HGT comes with a stainless steel lid and opening frame as well as the cases of these kilns being made from rust resilient metal, which is then powder coated and oven baked.

Stainless steel opening frame

HGT kilns have a heavy duty stainless steel chamber opening frame, designed to protect the kiln wall top against accidental damage whilst handling heavy items, and to keep the kiln highly resilient against the heat that it is being exposed to.

Over-fire and door switch safety

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

Optional Wi-Fi capability

The 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.

3 Year Warranty

The HGT 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.
