KC55 Range

KC55 Range Features

Larger kilns can be made in "Split Form", which enables them to be transported upstairs, through access doors and narrow corridors easily and safely.
None of our kilns contain Ceramic Fibre.
Unique KCRX electronic Heat fuse set at 50 degrees above the programmed maximum set point.
Automatic dampers can be fitted to all Front Loading kilns as an optional extra.

KCR32C Controller with 9 pre-set and a total of 32 resettable ceramics programs.
Optional KCR32CWIFI internet access to kiln status and programs, real time monitoring from any device, anywhere with internet access via the Kilncare GATEway.
Kilns carry a 24 month guarantee on all parts excluding the elements.
Built and designed by Kilncare in the U.K.

Kilncare built Front Loading ceramic / pottery kilns are made here in Stoke on Trent using traditional, time tested methods and techniques.

The kilns are made using the highest quality bricks and backing boards as efficiency is becoming more of an issue these days.

As with all of our kilns, function and durability take priority.

Seal and Front Face.

The door seal is maintained by a non-ceramic fibre rope 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 is made from "Hard" insulation bricks to reduce the damage caused by knocks and bumps during loading.

All of the kiln doors in the KC 55 range are made of the same high grade insulation bricks as the chamber sides.

Permanent Seal Door Clamps

The actual sealing of the door is automatically adjusted every time the door is closed with the variable door clamps.

Elements and Safety

The elements are all made from Kanthal A1 wire, considered the best wire in the world for this application.
Each kiln is fitted with a main contactor and a policeman contactor as standard.
Kiln safety is ensured by a door switch that stops the elements from receiving power when the door is opened.

Lockable Door Vent Hole

The door vent hole has a lockable swing plate that locks in the bung not allowing the bung to be taken out whilst it is at temperature.

This feature is a favourite of education establishments.

Automatic Motorised Roof Vent

Automatic roof vent facility is an optional extra across the KC55 range.

It allows the roof vent to be programmed to open or close at any point during the firing and multiple times also.

The KCR32C controls the operation.

Restricted access split frame

The KC55 range can be specially built to be split into manageable sections if the kiln delivery includes stairs or very narrow access.

This option must be made at the point of order.

The controller for the kiln can be held remotely to make programming the kiln an easy and comfortable process.

KCR32C Controller

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.

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.

The KCR32C is multi-program controller designed for glass, ceramics & pottery use. It has a huge 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 if required.

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 deivce.

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.
