The digital SC2 Series kiln fires china paint, enameling, and glass in minutes. Fire up to 2000°F. The SC2 Series kiln is popular with seminar teachers because it fires fast, and plugs into a standard household outlet. A Proven Design The SC2 Series kiln has been in production since 1997. It is a proven design that we have steadily refined every year. Thousands of artists in the U.S., Canada, Europe, and Japan love their SC2 Series kiln. The SC2 Series kiln is popular in art centers, colleges, craft classes, and even engineering laboratories. The high-tech ceramic fiber firing chamber is wrapped in a steel inner case. The outer steel case remains cool due to the layer of air between it and the inner case. In addition, the case is slotted for air circulation. Electrical components, located in the base, stay cool even at extended hold times. Large Yet Portable The SC2 Series kiln can hold three shelves of silver clay yet is portable enough to take with you to classes. Program the firing schedule that is perfect for your projects. You are not stuck with preset programs. The programmer turns itself off after the firing is completed. (Please note, however, that you should be near the kiln at the expected shutoff time.) The SC2 Series kiln is great in classrooms because the elements are embedded in ceramic fiber. Even-Heat Distribution The newest SC2 Series kiln has two separate heating elements on the left and right sides of the firing chamber. The back of the chamber has no element. Extensive testing shows that the heat distribution in the current SC2 Series kiln is more even throughout the firing chamber because heat does not build up in the back of the kiln. Affordable, Easy to Program The SC2 Series kiln, for a digital kiln, is surprisingly affordable and proudly made in the U.S.A. to exacting standards. It fires automatically at the rate and temperature you enter. A large, brightly lit display prompts for firing rate, temperature, and hold time. Use the hold feature to automatically soak any type of clay silver to its recommended time. The fast-firing element is embedded in the firing chamber shell. Each SC2 Series kiln includes a 1/4” thick ceramic fiber shelf.
