KilnMaster Controller
The KilnMaster Controller is the standard option for our top loading kilns, with a button pad and small one-colour display.
KilnMaster provides for all cone number firings (96 preset ceramic programs already installed at 3 different speeds- slow, medium or fast) and has an additional 12 storable user definable programs that can be programmed in ramp dwell mode. Up to 64 segments can be provided by linking two programs. Please note, we can preset additional programs before delivery if you wish. For example, for glass firings we are able to preset medium speed programs for you to enable full fusing, tack fusing and and slumping. Please note, all of our top loading kiln models with the exception of the KM714, KMT714 and Glazetech need to be wired in to the electricity supply, we also recommend a clearance of 18 inches (45cm) around the kiln- click here for further kiln installation information.
Here are some of the features that have made Cromartie Skutt electric kilns some of the best-selling kilns worldwide.
One of the innovations that really put this amazing range of kilns on the map was it's truly sectional design, with the ability to break it up into sections, for easy removal through narrow doorways and for siting in basements and other smaller locations. This innovative design meant that kilns no longer had to be constructed on site or brought in with heavy cranes. It truly brings ceramics into the home or studio.
The removable hinged box can easily be sent in for servicing as and when required, and all the materials used to construct the kiln are corrosion resistant, which is especially important for components that are exposed to fumes that may come out of the lid. The kiln lid also boasts heavy duty springs which make lifting the kiln lid effortless.
All of our electric top loading kilns are supported by a two-year warranty that includes parts and labour, and we have a team of technical experts who are available five days a week to help you troubleshoot any issues with your kiln, should you ever need technical assistance.
