The GTS18-9 is equipped with the Rampmaster II, a fully programmable, automatic temperature controller capable of controlling all ramping and temperature hold functions.

Features, Specifications and Other Fun Stuff

Control Options

Develop your own firing programs using the Ramp Mode Programming Feature. You determine How Fast, to What Temp and for How Long. The RampMaster II gives you this power and more. Program the perfect fusing and annealing profile or that one-of-a-kind specialty glaze firing using the Ramp Mode Programming feature. This is absolutely perfect for glass firing.

Ramp Mode Programming offers six individual programs, the contents of which, are defined by you, the user. Each of the six programs allows for up to eight firing segments. A segment is simply a grouping of: rate of temperature increase or decrease, a set point temperature and soak, if desired. So, get busy and develop that special firing program. The RampMaster II can do the work!!

Delay the actual start time of the firing using the Delay Start feature. This is great when electrical rates are lower at different times of the day or when it's just too darn hot to fire a kiln.

Firing Chamber Dimensions and Options:

17.5" diameter x 9" deep  (44.5cm long x 23cm deep).
Also available with 13.5' depth (44.5cm long x 34cm deep)

Voltage and Phase Considerations:

The GTS18-9 is designed to work from a 240V household receptacle 27A, 6460W.

Suitability:

The GTS 18-9 is capable of all glass related firing up to 1800°F (982°C), such as painting, fusing, slumping, and Pate de Verre. While it can be used for annealing purposes, the GT14-6 is better suited for that purpose.

It should also be noted at this point, that the GTS 18-9  is designed to fire a single layer or shelf. The nature of the GTS 18-9 is to provide heat from the lid elements directly to the shelf containing the glass. Attempting to fire glass below the top shelf is likely to lead to frustration and disappointment. So.....one shelf only. 

The GTS 18-9  is not really designed to fire Ceramic, Porcelain, Pottery, China or other "ceramic" related materials.
