Our casting ovens come in two styles, top loading and front loading. Designed to reach 1600 degrees, they are perfect for mold casting, and also can double for slumping, fusing and annealing.
For all casting kilns we use stainless for the lips around hot faces, with strain relief slots to prevent warping. With more power per cubic foot than annealers, casting ovens get to their higher temp faster. Top loaders have an extra air gap and aluminum skin on the front to keep the user cool when leaning into a hot oven.
These ovens are lined with insulating firebrick that is backed by ceramic fiberboard making them efficient, durable components of your studio. Elements are recessed into slots cut into the brick wall, and door limit switches de-energize heating elements when doors are open to protect the user from any electrical hazard. Levelers are standard on casting ovens.
F4T Touchscreen Controller
This touchscreen temperature controller replaces the standard Watlow PM many of us are familiar with. Featuring expanded profiles, easy to navigate menus, full words, some customization, and language options.
Zone Control
Perfect for large ovens and delicate work. Elements are controlled in sections from top to bottom or side to side, each with a dedicated thermocouple allowing for more even temperatures throughout the space. An F4T controller is included and required in this price. Depending on size and layout of oven, price will increase accordingly.
OnSite Remote Connectivity
This product allows you to access the controller remotely with an easy to use interface. Connect via Local WiFi with just a few clicks, or use the secure VNC to access the controller through the internet. You can receive programmable alarms through email and text, track profiles with data logging, and write complex profiles from any phone, tablet, or PC.
Compatible with the Watlow PM controllers that come standard on all ovens, and with the F4T controller.
Racks
Steel racks to make more efficient space inside the oven. Designed with 3 shelves that fit in 4 different positions (For medium sized ovens) for work of different heights.
