Skutt KM1027 Electric Kiln
Our even-firing powerhouse.
Available for 240 or 208 power, single or 3 phase.
The Skutt KM1027 is known as a real powerhouse because of its large 7 cubic foot capacity and ability to fire to Cone 10 at 240V.It is a great single phase kiln for those who fire porcelain and stoneware. It has proven to be the most popular model in our KilnMaster line, and has earned a reputation as a kiln which fires evenly at high temperatures over and over again. Again, the addition of the Skutt EnviroVent will help get the most from this kin's automatic firing capabilities. Also available in three phase models.Electrical Requirements

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
