ABOUT OUR TOP-LOADED VITRIGRAPH KILNTHIS PROFESSIONAL, 1100 C (2012 F) TOP-LOADED ELECTRICAL VITRIGRAPH KILN WITH A 32-SEGMENT PROGRAMMABLE TEMPERATURE/TIME CONTROLLER AND 10 L SPACIOUS CHAMBER WAS ESPECIALLY DESIGNED TO CREATE STRINGER THAT IS PRETTY MUCH WHAT IS SOUNDS LIKE "STRINGS" OF GLASS THAT ARE USED TO CREATE MANY DESIGNS IN ART GLASS. IN THE KILN, THE SCRAP GLASS IS SLOW MELTED (UP TO 9 HOURS) AT ABOUT 1030-1050 C (1900 F). ONCE MELTED, IT WILL PULLED THROUGH A SMALL HOLE IN THE BOTTOM OF THE KILN AND ITS STAND AND COOLS AS SOON AS IT BEING PULL. WITH THIS PROFESSIONAL KILN YOU WILL BE ABLE TO CREATE THE "STRINGERS" THAT WILL BE TWISTED, FLAT OR BENT IN ANY FORM WITH ANY THICKNESS BEFORE IT COMPLETELY HARDENS. YOU CAN USE FOR THIS PROCESS ANY TYPE OF GLASS INCLUDE SCRAP.THIS KILN HAS A 32-SEGMENTS (TEMPERATURE-TIME STEPS) PROGRAMMABLE CONTROLLER WITH DIGITAL, OVER/LOW-TEMPERATURE REGULATION SECURE SYSTEM (FOR HOLDING SAME TEMPERATURE DURING THE WHOLE SOAKING PROCESS) AND A SMOOTHING CIRCUIT DIGITAL GUARD FOR ACCURATE READING AND STABILITY WORK ON FLUCTUATIONS OF ELECTRICITY THAT IS VERY IMPORTANT OPTION FOR MOST MATERIALS SUCH AS GLASS, CERAMIC, GLAZING AND POTTERY.TECHNICAL SPECIFICATION:- Brand name: Technical Supermarket (London);- Made in UK (London);- Model: VGK-20;-Power supply: single phase, 115V+/-10% or 230V +/-10% with many type mains plug on request - please see picture;- Power - 2200 Watt;- Volume of chamber: 10 L.- Maximum working temperature - 1100 C (2012 F);- Kiln dimensions with electrical box in MM (inch): 530 (21") wide x 400 (16") x 350 (14") height;-Estimated heating time to 1100 C - 150 minutes;- Chamber's dimensions in MM (inch): 250 (10") diameter x 200 (8") height - please see an image;- 32 time/temperature segments on 2-line programmable temperature controller that will allows you AUTOMATICALLY reach, hold (soak) and change up to 32 temperature/time points;- Two heating elements around all walls;- Has 50-mm hole on the bottom for melted glass;- Supplied with one clay pot with bottom diameter 110 mm x top diameter 200 mm x 160 mm (high) with 1" (25-mm) bottom hole (Other pots with other dimensions and suitable for this temperature can be used as well;- One bottom plate for covering the central bung if you planning to use this kiln also for other projects;- Digital over/low-temperature regulation secure system;- Smoothing circuit (controller's stability work) digital guard;- Movable lid with two handles as a supports;- Industrial graded thermocouple;- Calibrated on five points.
