The Eco-fuser utilises Kilncare 2022 GX Insulation System and will complete a standard full fuse using as little as 4 units of electricity.

Elements:

Kiln Elements

The Eco-Fuser uses the Quartz Element Heating System, this is in the roof only and utilises the latest technology ‘infra-fed’ quartz tube heating elements. This method is extremely hard wearing and strong, yet in the event of an element failure the tubes are both easy and cheap to replace. The elements are switched off when the lid is opened by an automatic safety switch.

 

Lid:

The kiln lid is made from stainless steel and lined out with non-ceramic fibre. This method of insulation removes the risk of brick dust or particles dropping onto the glass, so making for a very clean firing environment. It also makes the Eco-Fuser incredibly resistant to shock damage. The capability of the Eco-Fuser is due to the ‘super’ backing insulation that makes the kiln ultra-efficient and allows such a large capacity to be fired using so little power.

Twin Gas Spring Lid Assist:

Lifting the lid on the Eco-Fuser is aided by a pair of specially designed gas springs that allow opening and closing of the lid to be a single finger operation. This makes the kiln completely user friendly but also helps in prolonged life due to the reduction of shock through ‘heavy’ opening and closing of the lid.

Angled Vent Hole:

The front of the kiln has a large vent/peep hole which is closed using a spring assisted flap which houses Kilncare’s unique, anti-dust insulation pad which is taken from the larger fusing kiln models. The vent/peep hole is angled so that the floor of the kiln and more importantly, your glass, can be seen.

Flat Loading Floor:

The base of the Eco-Fuser differs from the Hobbyfuser and brings the kiln in line with its big brother the Cub-Fuser. The floor is flat with the entirety of the height of the kiln being in the chamber, which lifts out of the way when loading, this type of floor is preferred by many glass artists. The floor is low density, high insulation refractory bricks and can have the internal shelf kit placed onto it.

Controller:

KCR2 Controller

The Eco-Fuser comes with the KCR32C Controller which is a multi-program controller targeted towards glass use with 32 programs each up to 32 segments. Each segment is a controlled heating/cooling ramp followed by a soak. It is supplied pre-programmed with 9 typical glass programs (which can be over-written). The slow rate capability of the KCR32C, down to 1c per hour, makes it the perfect controller for complicated glass cycles.

 

Controller Features:

  • 32 programs- each with up to 32 segments
  • Each segment is a controlled heating/cooling ramp soak
  • Soak times up to nearly 100 hours
  • Ramp rates from 1 to 999C/hour full
  • Program Pause & Segment Advance Facilities
  • Keyboard lockable
  • Delayed start facility- up to 4 days
  • Power failure recovery
  • Energy used display
  • Event/Damper/ Fan relay output

Customer Questions
How much space do I need to allow around the kiln to allow the lid to open freely and for safety so that nothing is too close to it?

30 cm all around the kiln would be the best amount of space to open it without disturbance.

Kilncare ecofuser Can this kiln be used for other mediums. Pottery metal etc or is it purely for glass?

The Kilncare Ecofuser is mainly for glass, as the elements are in the lid and fires up to 960c. Ceramics benefits from being in a kiln with side elements.
