Add Ons - Stafford ST215C Controller
The ST215C is a universal controller suitable for any single-zone ceramic kiln equipped with a controller socket.
The controller has 32 programs, each with up to 32 ramp/soak segments.
The ST215C comes fitted with a plug lead and a wall mounting bracket.
This allows you to experiment with different firing techniques to take your pottery to the next level, whilst knowing you can leave your kiln worry free!
Add Ons - 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
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.
Add Ons - Kiln Furniture
Picture this: You've poured your heart and soul into crafting the perfect pottery piece, only to have it stick to the kiln floor or come out looking wonky after firing. Not cool, right?
That's where kiln furniture steps in like your trusty sidekick. It's not just about protecting your creations; it's about keeping them safe and sound during the whole firing process.
These shelves, posts, and stilts have got your back, making sure your pieces get even heat and come out looking as awesome as you imagined.
