Built for Volume Production and Large Work

Olympic Kilns builds affordable, powerful volume-producing glass kilns. Users are provided with equipment that handles capacity loads and large pieces with ease.

The Large Capacity Glass Fusing kilns have many outstanding features and can be designed as top-loading, clamshell-loading, or both top and clamshell loading, and as a Bell design with the firing chamber electronically raised and lowered, and a removable floor for convenient loading and unloading.

Frame, Insulation, and Lid Construction

The frames of the Large Capacity glass fusing kilns are built of heavy-angle iron and metal tubing. Kiln walls are 4 1/2″ insulating brick with 1″ ceramic fiberboard and 1″ air space created by the tube frame. The result is an energy-efficient, heavy-load production kiln with a cooler outer surface and lower temperature.

These models are built with double-insulated floors consisting of brick and ceramic fiberboard. The kiln walls and floor are constructed of kiln brick and board insulation. Kiln brick, ceramic board, and pyro-block modules comprise the easy-opening counter-sprung lid.

Elements, Controls, and Service Access

Floor elements, when selected as an option, are controlled by infinite switches that can be adjusted by the kiln operator as needed. Glass fusing production kilns are equipped with heavy-gauge elements and industrial relays for long life. Production volume glass kiln models have a hinged electrical box for easy access and their own breaker box for safety and lockout.

Standard Equipment

Large Capacity glass kiln models come equipped with a pilot light, heavy angle iron frame, stainless steel jacket, breaker box, KilnStar digital electronic controller, and instruction manuals.

Warranty

One-year Limited Kiln Warranty.

Options

Consider upgrading to the Genesis touchscreen controller, lid elements in quartz rods, Type S thermocouple, 2- or 3-zone control, 480-volt, vents, and much more.
