GENERAL DESCRIPTION:
WP series vertical kilns have an inner "heat box" surrounded by an air gap set in a steel outer casing.
The working insulation face is lightweight insulating firebrick for strength and wear resistance. This is backed with suitable fibre materials for maximum heat saving efficiency. At the bottom of the workspace a floor is provided with similar insulation to that in the sides. This can be omitted if a straight through vertical shaft is required.
A sheathed thermocouple within the chamber gives accurate temperature sensing. The hinged lid covers the working area and the hot face insulation lining and allows obstruction-free access to the vertical chamber. Items may be hung within the furnace or supported from the floor.
The electrical controls are mounted in a box to the side of the kiln case. Temperature control is achieved through a separate unit connected to the control box by a flexible cable and normally attached to the side of the kiln near the top for easy operation. The temperature controller incorporates thermocouple break protection as standard.
A choice of PID digital controllers with digital setting and readout are offered. A door safety switch is fitted to all models. Various optional extras are available.
