Kiln
The Pearl-56 digital kiln is an investment that soon pays
for itself. Imagine the architectural-scale glass panels that you will
make in this kiln. The results will inspire you.
The Pearl-56 was designed to the scrupulous standards of the Bullseye
Resource Center in Portland, Oregon. Master glass artists fired early
prototypes and suggested numerous design changes before approving the
Pearl-56.
The 56" wide, 30" deep, 16 1/2" high clamshell firing chamber splits
when the top is up. The lower wall is 4 1/2" high giving convenient
access to the shelf area. Heavy-duty air pistons lighten the top.
The Pearl-56 has two vents in the top and two peepholes/vents along the
front. The 2" x 3" front peepholes include firebrick plugs. Watch the
glass through every stage of firing. The 2" x 3" top vents come with
hinged door covers and high-temperature abrasion-resistant gaskets. The
kiln is equipped with casters for hassle-free moving. Level the kiln
effortlessly with four leveling feet.
The efficient Pearl-56 is insulated with a 3" ceramic fiber top and 2
1/2" insulating firebrick walls and bottom. The top presses against a
gasket mounted in the lower wall section. A welded 2" tubular steel
frame reinforces the kiln for long life. We are so confident in the
innovative Pearl-56 that we back it with a two year warranty.
For unsurpassed heat distribution, elements are mounted in the top,
walls, and floor. The top and floor elements use an element groove that
eliminates element pins. Because the element coils are wider than the
groove opening, the elements stay in place without pins. The sidewall
element coils are protected in dropped, recessed grooves.
Rugged mercury relays control the elements. This is one more reason the
Pearl-56 is so reliable.
To keep the electrical components cool for long, trouble-free service,
we mount them away from the firing chamber inside a louvered switch box,
which is angled for comfortable operation of the controls. Adjust the
top and bottom zones independently with infinite control switches. The
Pearl-56 uses the digital 12-key Sentry 2.0 controller.
You will be amazed at the convenience of digital firing. The reliable
solid-state Sentry controller continually monitors the firing so you can
spend your time productively without closely watching the kiln. (Please
remember, however, to check the kiln during firing and to monitor it
near the expected shutoff time.) The sealed touch pad keeps out dust and
is easy to wipe clean.
Do you ever wonder how much electricity your kiln uses" The digital
controller can figure this for you with the press of a button. Find out
how little a kiln actually costs to fire.
