Kilns & Furnaces Front Loading Kiln Auto Damper


An auto damper is an automatic temperature ventilation/cooling system controlled via the STC controller.

It eliminates the need to come back to the kiln during firing and removes the risk of the flue remaining open throughout the firing creating a potential hazard.

It also eliminates the necessity to reach across the top of a hot kiln to remove or replace top damper plug.

Damper Sequence

  • Open at commencement of cycle
  • Close at user defined temperature during up cycle
  • Damper open at end of firing cycle allowing kilns to cool

ONLY AVAILABLE IF STC215C CONTROLLER IS PURCHASED


Add Ons - Front Loading Heat Lock

Heat Lock For Front Loading Pottery Kilns

The Heatlock keeps the kiln door locked until the kiln has cooled to a safe temperature, preventing damage to the kiln door and protect kiln users from excessive heat.

It is operated by a small controller when temperature inside is in excess of 70°C. A warning light indicates when the door is locked, when the light goes out it is safe to open the kiln.

An essential safety mechanism for pottery studios, schools and universities.
