Product Description
The Firebird 'K' 8-model range of
front-loading kilns is a natural extension to our popular 'E' range but with
additional steelwork and increased insulation. Additional elements are
situated in door & back wall for even distribution of heat. Manual roof
dampers are fitted to models K501-K565 (optional extra for other models).
The dampers can be fully automated at additional cost.
These kilns are for use at up to 1300°C,
utilising a double-skinned casing construction with air-gap. This ensures
that they operate with a minimum heat loss and a sensible outside casing
temperature. The kiln is fully lined with low density brick including the
door. The door can be specified as right or left-hand opening and is
gasket sealed.
The frame design incorporates an
integral floor stand. All electrical connections including the rear wall
mounted thermocouple can be accessed from the rear of the kiln after removing
the rear cover-plate. Heating elements are situated in sidewalls, back
wall, base & door. All models operate from 230VAC and are available in
single phase or 3-phase + neutral versions.
All models are covered by our 2-year
warranty which includes elements.
When planning the installation of a kiln
attention should be given to the size of the kiln room, floor strength &
ventilation requirements. Space should be allowed to enable the kiln to be
manoeuvred into position and to meet the minimum clearance distances. The
floor must be level and strong enough to support the weight of the kiln and its
workload. Adequate ventilation is essential especially in enclosed
situations - forced ventilation is recommended.
-
Minimum clearance distances are:-
- Above:
750mm 30"
- At sides:
150mm 6"
- At rear:
