Optional Add-Ons for Olympic Medallion 2827HE
Solid State Relay: Efficiently controls kiln elements, handling high power loads with precision. Offers faster response times and longer lifespan compared to mechanical relays, ensuring accurate temperature control and energy savings.
Orton Vent Master: Removes harmful toxins and improves airflow through downdraft venting, promoting safety and even heating. Extends kiln life and reduces maintenance costs by minimizing buildup of corrosive vapors.
Rolling Stand with Caster Wheels: Simplifies kiln movement for storage and workspace optimization. Particularly useful when using a vent system, allowing easy access for maintenance and cleaning.
Power Interrupt Switch: Automatically cuts power to heating elements when the kiln lid is open, preventing accidents. Protects both the operator and the kiln, enhancing overall safety during use.
Shelf/Furniture Kit: Maximizes kiln firing space with a comprehensive set of shelves and posts. Purchasing with the initial kiln order saves costs and provides a complete setup, though shelves may have minor imperfections.
Dual Media Lid Element: Expands kiln versatility by allowing both ceramic and glass fusing applications in a single unit. Enables seamless transitions between different firing processes, maximizing studio space efficiency.
Multi-Zone Thermocouples: Enable precise temperature regulation across different zones, ensuring uniform heating even in densely loaded kilns or when firing sculptures. By monitoring and adjusting temperatures in multiple zones, the kiln maintains consistent heat distribution, resulting in evenly fired ceramics and improved firing outcomes.
