Create vibrant, color saturated fused and slumped glass in the 120 volt FiberFuse 16 ceramic fiber kiln. The FiberFuse 16 fires up to 1700 degrees F (926 degrees C). It is suitable for teaching glass fusing seminars, because it fires fast, it is portable, it plugs into a standard household outlet, and it ships by UPS. Ceramic fiber, the insulation in the FiberFuse 16 absorbs less heat than firebrick kilns do. For this reason the FiberFuse 16 fires and cools faster than larger firebrick kilns.
The FiberFuse 16 kiln is now made with a ceramic fiber muffle with flat, surface mounted elements. This will improve firing efficiency, because the kiln has more insulation in the walls. The walls, and bottom are 2 inches thick. The sides are wrapped in a protective steel case. A deluxe steel top with welded corners covers the lid. The lightweight lid is easy to lift with one hand. The wooden lid handle stays cool even during extended firing and annealing times. The firing chamber heats from the side.
Heat distribution in the FiberFuse 16 is so even that the kiln can fire glass without lid elements. The element coil is wider than the groove opening, so the elements stay in the sidewall grooves without pins. The built in stand, complete with mar proof rubber feet, raises the kiln off the work surface. Raise the kiln to a convenient height by placing it on a fireproof steel table.
A lid safety switch is now standard on the FiberFuse-16. The switch shuts off the power to the elements when the lid is opened. The temperature controller remains powered with the lid open and automatically resumes the current program when you close the lid.
The Fiberfuse 16 is available with 3 controller options; the 3 key Sentry Xpress, the Sentenel 12 Key and the new digital Sentenel Smart Touch with WI-FI access. Choose the controller you would like from the options below.
