Skutt KM1022 Kiln

SKUTT 22" Tall Ceramics Kiln KM1022

Skutt now offers a line of kilns that provides the perfect mix of height and volume for those artists and teachers who have difficulty opening and loading a 27” deep kiln due to the height.

SKUTT  KM818 ELECTRIC KILN 

Available in 240V or 208 Volt 

This is a nice sized kiln for a small home pottery studio.
It also makes for a perfect test kiln in a large production studio.

Finally, an electric kiln line designed specifically for volume production and fast turnaround of high mass loads. The Skutt KM818 kiln has the power and industrial components to go straight to Cone 10 with a full load of tile or stoneware – no slow struggling to reach the final temperature. The standard KilnMaster controller gives you the options of Cone Firing, or selecting your own 8-segment Ramp/Hold firing programs. The combination of direct wiring, heavy duty elements, connectors and relays, plus traditional Skutt stainless steel and firebrick construction results in a kiln that will last for years of constant use. Among the most powerful on the market today, the line was designed at the request of Skutt customers. Explore our wide selection of single phase kilns for sale.

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.

Moving:
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.

Replacement:
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.
