WHY A BELL-LIFT KILN?
A common complaint concerning top loading ceramic kilns, especially the
larger ones, is that it is difficult to load them. This is especially
true for larger pieces. In a production pottery environment this labor
intensive job can become very expensive over time. Moreover, some
people simply aren't capable of doing this strenuous and heavy lifting.
Front loading kilns are often desired because they seem to be easier to
load. However, it is still a strain to put a heavy piece into the back
of a front-loading kiln. Moreover, front loading kilns can be expensive. Shuttle kilns or envelope kilns work well for loading but they are also very expensive.
AN AFFORDABLE SOLUTION:
We think we have an ideal and affordable solution for this big problem.
Our Bell-Lift accessory lifts the whole kiln up as a unit exposing the
bottom of the kiln for loading from all four sides.
HOW IT WORKS:
The kiln sections and top are held together as one unit with a metal
support frame. This unit is lifted up with a ratcheted hand winch
mounted on the external frame. There are manual safety pins that lock
the kiln in place when the kiln is fully raised.
EASY INSTALLATION; INEXPENSIVE SHIPPING:
his whole support frame is made from heavy duty welded parts that are
easily assembled on site so that the system can be easily broken down
for inexpensive common carrier shipping. (It is a two to three person
job to assemble the kiln. Only simple tools, like wrenches are
required).
WHAT IS THE MAXIMUM HEIGHT REQUIRED IN YOUR ROOM?
You must pay attention to height. An 18", 27" or 36" high kiln
(interior) will be 105" high, and a 45" high kiln will be 123" high.). |
