L&L DaVinci Series PREMIUM KILNS:


DaVinci square and rectangular sectional kilns come in 5 different footprints.
For each footprint there are 4 available heights:  2, 3 ,4 or 5 rings (18", 27" , 36" and 45" high respectively).
Capacities range from 3.4 cubic feet to 34.5 cubic feet.
They all feature a unique spring-loaded counterbalance, separate control panel, 3" firebrick, heavy-duty elements. Manual or automatic.
L&L's patented Bell Lift system is available for the X3200 and the T3400 series.
Other options include: kiln sitter backup and powered bottom.

Here at Sheffield Pottery, we suggest the 27" (3 ring) heights for the best balance of capacity and ease of  loading.
At the bottom of this page you will find our three favorite configurations, in their automatic versions, with  the available options and upgrades selectable for each model. These are available for online ordering, .
HINT: select one of more options you may be interested in and then hit "update price" to see the total cost.

We offer the complete DaVinci Kiln line, so if you are interested in any of the other configurations not shown, just give a call and we will be happy to extend the same discount to any of the other versions which may suit your needs. (toll-free: 888.774-2529).

DAVINCI KILN FEATURES

. PERFORMANCE

..





FIRES TO CONE 10 - 2350F - 1287C


  • The DaVinci production kilns are unequivocally rated for cone 10 operation (2350F, 1287C).
  • They have a higher K.W. power rating than most other ceramic kilns.
  • Power Bottoms are available.
..



3" OF PREMIUM FIREBRICK


  • 3" Premium grade K23 firebrick is standard
..







LARGE 1" DIAMETER PEEPHOLES


  • Peepholes are a full one inch diameter and are not tapered.
  • Better view inside kiln
  • Less chance of breakage
..





MULTI-ZONE DESIGN




  • Whether you order a manual or an automatic, every DaVinci kiln is multi-zoned.
  • Each 9" section (and optional powered bottom) has its own separate contactor or manual infinite switch.
  • In the case of the four or five section automatic kilns the middle sections operate together as one zone.
  • For automatic kilns the optional powered bottom is tied into the bottom zone. However, the DynaTrol allows you to adjust how much of the bottom's power is used (from 10% to 100%).
..





VERSATILITY OF SIZE - SECTIONALIZED CONSTRUCTION


  • All DaVinci production kilns are sectionalized.
  • You can increase or decrease the size by adding or removing a section.
  • Save on electric bills for small loads yet have ample firing capacity.
  • Add capacity in the future.
  • Control boxes are sized for 5 zones (even on smaller kilns) and extra circuits can be added by the factory in the future if ever needed.







SQUARE AND RECTANGULAR "PLUS" DESIGN


  • DaVinci kilns feature a unique shallow arch design that provides a very strong structure and promotes natural convection.









Automatic DaVinci Kilns Feature...

DYNATROL AUTOMATIC CONTROL - WITH FOUR EASY CERAMIC PROGRAMS


  • The DynaTrol with "Dynamic Zone Control" replaces manual switches
    and the Dawson kiln sitter/timer.
    .
  • Operation of the kiln, including zone control for even firing, is completely automated.
  • There are four easy-to-use "Easy-Fire" ceramic programs.
  • There are six user defined programs for more sophisticated firing.







DYNATROL IS IN HANDHELD PANEL



  • On DaVinci kilns the DynaTrol is mounted in a separate hand-held box that plugs into the power contactor panel.
  • This control box can hang on the wall or a supplied bracket that attaches to the counterbalance pole.







DYNAMIC ZONE CONTROL FOR EVEN FIRING


  • Dynamic Zone Control automatically controls a top, middle and bottom zone for accuracy better than 1/2 cone top to bottom.
  • L&L does not charge extra for this great feature - others do.








ON/OFF SWITCH & CONTROL FUSE



..





Manual DaVinci Kilns Feature...


MULTI-ZONE CONTROL WITH INFINITE ZONE SWITCHES


  • Infinitely variable input switches (one for each section) adjust thermal gradients to prevent uneven heating. These control the power contactors.
  • They are more adjustible than simple High-Medium-Low type switches.
  • Switches have an off position.
..





DAWSON KILN SITTER/TIMER


  • A Dawson LT3 (with back-up safety timer) shuts kiln off.
  • The Dawson is mounted several inches away from kiln case (with air in between) in its own separate panel box to keep it cool and improve the contactor life.

..





PILOT LIGHTS FOR EACH ZONE

OPTIONAL TRU-VIEW PYROMETER SYSTEM


  • Adjust your zones intelligently on a manual kiln.
