Potterycrafts Heatworker 180 Litre Front Loading Kiln
Potterycrafts Heatworker 180 front loading kiln is a 'tubed' kiln for potters and organisations that want the very best. This premium build kiln is ideal for professional studios, schools, and colleges where reliability and durability are essential. The kiln is constructed from durable low thermal insulation brick with two high grade backup insulation boards all enclosed within a robust high quality pressed steel powder coated frame.
Heatworker premium kilns have a superior internal design. Rather than the traditional and conventional 'elements in grooved wall system' used in most kilns, these 'top of the line' kilns utilise a more advanced system where the elements are fitted on ceramic support tubes and not encased in the side walls.
This method reduces stress on both the elements and the kiln chamber and is reflected in the higher maximum temperature of 1320°C.
- Two-layer efficient insulation comprising of the highest quality grooved insulation brick and backed up with high grade insulation board.
- Brick to brick door seal (no fibre seals which deteriorate) with a flush fit for better heat retention.
- Increased efficiency as all of the radiant heat generated by the elements enters the chamber as the elements are in free air.
- Door Spy Hole/vent and flue vent with manual damper as standard (automated damper can be added at extra cost)
- Reduced stress on the elements as they are not covered in any insulation.
- Structural support for the elements via the tube that is inserted through them.
- Easier to change elements when required.
- A greatly reduced risk of element fails which can cause brickwork damage.
- Longer chamber brickwork life as brick integrity is not reduced by element grooves.
Designed and made in the heart of “The Potteries” in Stoke on Trent, England. Tried and tested formulas have made Potterycrafts kilns one of Europe’s best-selling brands for many years.
All spare parts in stock, here in our factory in Stoke on Trent.
Specifications:
- Firing Capacity: 180 Litre
- Maximum Temperature 1320°C.
- Ready to be fired on 3 phase and neutral, or single phase (by simply adding a link bar at the point of connection.
- Supply Required for Single Phase - 40 amps.
- Supply Required for 3 Phase and Neutral - 15 amps per phase.
- Warranty Period: 2 years (excluding elements)
Safety feature:
- Dual contactors and over temperature monitoring provide protection against overfires, when used with Potterycrafts kiln controllers.
- Type R thermocouple for accuracy and longevity of use.
- Roof and door vent as standard for venting the kiln during firing and to aid cooling.
- Captive interlock safety switch, meaning the kiln will not turn on unless this is locked and in place, ensuring the highest level of safety.
- All Potterycrafts kilns are ROHS and WEEE compliant.
- For more information about installation, positing and ventilation with your new kiln, please see our support section of the website.
Includes the U.K. built CERA-10+ Controller:
- The controller is the latest development in a long series of controllers. Incorporating new software giving improved efficiency and ease of programming together with up-to-date safety and diagnostic features.
- CERA-10+ has 32 programs each with 32 segments, each segment comprises of a ramp speed, a target temperature and a hold period and can be either cooling or heating segments. This is the ultimate controller offering every option that might be required. It can also be used in a very simple manner with ease for the most basic of firings. Ideally suited to glass and pottery applications, with many scientific and industrial heat treatment applications.
