A Kiln That Just Fits
Fits most small studios. Easy to load for those who are vertically challenged. Has all the bells and whistles of the larger kilns in a more compact size. Traditional Skutt stainless steel (including a Lid Lifter) and firebrick construction (featuring 3” thick walls for firing efficiency) results in a kiln that will last for years of constant use.
Sophisticated, Yet Easy to Use
Write your own firing programs with up to 32 Segments using Ramp and Hold. Now you can store up to 12 programs… or use the tried and true factory set programs in ConeFire Mode
Built in Diagnostics give you or our technicians the ability to diagnose kiln problems with just a few button presses. New Safety Features help prevent accidental starts and overfires.
New software keeps track of your Firing Costs and the Number of Firings Fuse Glass, Slow cool Cone 6 Glazes, Grow Crystals…whatever you want to program this controller can handle…and so much more.
Current Sensing Technology
Skutt is one of the few brands that installs a Current Sensor in every KilnMaster Kiln. This allows you to read the Amperage of each section of the kiln as well as the Voltage and Voltage Under Load. Now with the touch of a few buttons you can give those readings over the phone to your kiln repair technician so they can troubleshoot the problem and make sure they have the correct parts when they come out for the repair. This Saves Time and Money. Prior to the use of these current sensors someone would have to come to your house and test the amperage and voltage inside the control box with live wires exposed. This system is Much Safer.
Sectional Design
Sectional Design is a good idea on so many levels. Imagine trying to move a kiln into the basement or through a narrow door without being able to break it down into sections.
Repair
No more standing on your head in the kiln to replace those bottom elements or removing every brick in the kiln to get to the one you want to replace. Just remove the control box, unhook the buckles and place the section you want to work on on a table. We hope nothing really bad happens to your kiln … but … if it does, isn’t nice to know you can replace one bad section instead of the whole kiln?
Balanced Elements
A large amount of the heat you lose in your kiln passes to through the lid and slab of your kiln. To compensate for this, Skutt directs more heat to these areas when they design the elements. The fact that we have twice the element grooves in our kilns gives us more design flexibility than some of our competitors. It also gives you more loading options since it is always recommended to have at least one element radiating between each layer of shelves. Oh and by the way, twice the grooves means you get twice the amount of element wire, which means each element doesn’t have to work as hard, which means longer element life! Whew!
The Thermocouple
Exposed Thermocouple equals faster reaction time and higher accuracy.
Inexpensive, plus we give you an extra one when you buy your kiln.
Easy and quick to replace.
Type S (Platinum) Upgrades Available.
The Lid Lifter
Standard on all 10 and 12 sided ceramic kilns
Lift 100lbs with ease!
All stainless construction.
Easy and safe to tension.
And So Much More!
When you are buying a kiln, you are not just buying the equipment, you are also buying the service that comes before and after the sale. From the moment we cut that first brick to the day you open the box, to the day you are ready to retire it, our reputation is on the line and we take that very seriously. Get the whole story here.
