Kilncare Hobbyfuser and Hobbyfuser Midi

 

Hobbyfuser 

 

Don't be fooled by the name, the Hobbyfuser is a serious glass kiln. The kiln is built for a long life span and we have no worries at all in issuing the kiln with a 2 year guarantee. When the kiln was in development it was run at 950°C and held for 1 hour over 40 times. At the end of the trial we stripped the kiln down and even we were amazed at the lack of deterioration we came across.

 

The kiln lid is made from stainless steel and lined out with non-ceramic fibre.

 In the centre of the lid is a vent hole which comes with a matching plug.

The heating system is in the roof only and utilises the latest technology quartz tube heating elements.

The base section of the chamber is made from refractory brick.

The pre-fitted control is the [ST315 controller].

It has 10 programs, each having 9 segments. each segment consists of 1 x rate of climb, 1 x target temperature and 1 x dwell/hold.

The Hobbyfuser comes complete with a 13 amp plug top.

 

The Hobbyfuser Midi is built to the exact same specification as the Hobbyfuser. The only difference is the floor area. The Hobbyfuser Midi internal size is 300mm x 310mm. The Hobbyfuser Midi is finished in Kilncare Ultramarine Blue.

Kilncare FK Range

THE FK RANGE CONTINUES TO IMPROVE.NEW FOR THIS YEAR IS THE INTRODUCTION OF OUR UNIQUE STAINLESS STEEL LID DESIGN, WHICH REDUCES COOLING TIMES SIGNIFICANTLY. As with any modifications we make, it has been regorously tested and lower temperature cooling times are reduced so aiding a faster turn round for the kiln.

The elements are on high quality ceramic rods and are wound with Kanthal A1.
The entire range, except the FK3, is designed to reach 700c in around 30-40 minutes.
The range is very economical with an average 7 hour in a FK7 firing costing around £1.00.
The handle has 2 positions. In its default position it is at 90 degrees to the chamber, and can be easily altered to be in a more down facing position to assist shorter users.
There are vent holes in the roof of the kiln to aid with faster cooling and help extract steam if any moisture is present.
On the FK6 and above the under floor steel sheet is replaced with heavy duty walk mesh to aid cooling.
Each kiln has an over temperature heat fuse with its own safety contactor to protect the kiln in the event of a disaster.
As with all our kilns the frames are powder coated and oven baked and the kilns contain no ceramic fibre.
All FK kilns now carry a 2 year guarantee on all parts including elements. This guarantee does not cover the thermal heat fuse.
Replaceable refractory brick floor.

Optional Extra:

Reach Handle now available to help reduce the heat blast when opening the lid when hot, or to view or work glass. This can be purchased at any time and will fit all kilns in the range from the FK4 onwards.
