• Built and designed by Kilncare in the U.K.

• Two years guarantee on ALL parts excluding the elements.

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.

Roll out trolley floor

​

The floor of KC-T55 kilns is a trolley mounted on heavy duty steel castors that run on a rail system.

This gives full access to the kiln floor which helps with loading.

The space inbetween the rails is covered with walk plate to reduce the risk of accidents when inserting and removing the truck from the kiln.

The trolley matches to the kiln with three levels of seal formation ensuring that the chamber heat is not effected in anyway.

​

​

​

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 KC-T55 range.

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

The KCR32CWIFI controls the operation.

Restricted access split frame

​

The KC-T55 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.

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-T55 range are made of the same high grade insulation bricks as the chamber sides.

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

KCR32CWIFI 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.

• WIFI mobile access capability KCR32CWIFI.

• GATEway online firing viewing and storage.

• 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 KCR32CWIFI 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 KCR32CWIFi 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.

ST535CWIFI Controller (optional)

​

• 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 0.1 to 999°C/hour full.

• Program Pause & Segment Advance facilities.

• Keypad lockable.

• Delayed start - up to 4 days.

• WIFI mobile access capability.

• USB facility for fault logging and program loading.

• 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 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 adjust the other sections to maintain perfect chamber uniformity with regards to temperature.

​

The rest of the ST535WIFI is as the KCR32CWIFI.
