Our Nitride-Bonded Silicon Carbide Shelves are very thin (as thin as 0.394-inches thick), light-weight, and contain low thermal mass. This means giant savings on your back. That could pay for this investment right away. It also means that your kiln has more room for pottery rather than for the kiln shelves.
Nitride-bonded shelves are much stronger than ordinary silicon carbide shelves and they are much, much stronger than high alumina or other cordierite shelves. Nitride-bonded shelves are highly resistant to warping. They are rated for temperatures much higher than regular silicon carbide shelves. And their strength lends them to having a much longer working life than other kiln shelves. The larger shelves have expansion joints, which enhance their long life. The expansion joints relieve stress on the shelf during the expansion and contraction that takes place during firing and helps protect against cracking. Even without the expansion joints, Nitride Bonded Silicon Carbide Shelves outlast most other types of kiln shelves, but this improves them further. Important Warnings (read before using your new shelves) WARNING! All silicon carbide shelves conduct electricity. When using these shelves in an electric kiln, avoid a serious electrical shock by following these guidelines: WARNING! Never insert or remove the shelves into an electric kiln when the kiln is in the ON position. All it takes is the shelf touching an element to cause an electrical shock. WARNING! Never load, unload or put your hands in the kiln when it is in the ON position. WARNING! Always repair loose elements so that they don't hang out of their slots allowing them to touch the silicon carbide shelves creating a "shocking environment!" WARNING! Although we are not aware of specific deteriorating, fracturing or exploding problems with our nitride bonded shelves, some other types of silicon carbide shelves have been known to explode when fired wet. To avoid such potential problems, don't allow your shelves to get wet!
Important Owner Information (read before using your new shelves) Clean your new shelves thoroughly upon receiving them. Silicon carbide has a tendency to abrade slightly during shipping causing a fine, silicon carbide grit to form on the surface, edges and in the expansion slits (not present on all shelves). Wipe off the shelves and slide a thin blade though the expansion slits to remove any particles and avoid "grit contamination" during firing. Some shelf sizes include expansion slits that help reduce breakage from thermal shock. The film of "white powder" on your shelves emerged from the silicon carbide material during the refractory firing. It will have no negative effect on your use of the shelves. During your first firing, you may experience a dark blotching or discoloration on both the surface of the shelves and the ware with which they come in contact. This results from a lack of oxygen in the firing environment. Conducting a pre-firing (without ware) in a full oxidation atmosphere can significantly reduce this discoloration. Just as with other silicon carbide shelves, your new nitride bonded shelves may be somewhat more prone to crack under severe thermal abuse than typical clay shelves. If you are new to silicon carbide shelves, or if your firings include exceptionally rapid cool-down or other harsh treatment, you may want to check with your dealer to determine steps you might take to prevent potential damage. Posting your shelves: Because of the lightweight, thin design of your nitride-bonded shelves, using three posts is not only the most efficient but also the most effective way to load your kiln. Three posts versus four helps negate any unevenness in the kilns floor and, more likely, in the posts themselves. It doesn't matter how strong the shelf, four uneven posts under one shelf will most surely result in a broken shelf – sooner or later! Note: It is difficult to make Nitride Bonded Kiln Shelves that are 100% flat. Our Affordable Nitride Bonded Silicon Carbide Kiln Shelves are close and they are extremely resistant to further warping. Our standard is that they not be off by more than one half of one percent from the furthest length of the shelf (diagonal on rectangular shelves).
This 12 sided Skutt kiln has a 28" interior diameter and is 27" inches deep. The chamber size is tall enough to fire a 23″ tall pot and wide enough to hold a 26″ platter.
The PK stands for “Production Kiln” and that is exactly what these things are designed for. One of the most important things you need in a large production kiln is power… and the PK Kiln has it in spades!

Made from the same reliable formula as our regular high alumina shelves, these shelves are also rated for cone 10 but are 35% lighter. The extrusion process provides a kiln shelf with a core I-beam construction for strength and rigidity, but at a much lighter weight than regular kiln shelves.
These shelves are not round, but are cut multi sided to match the number of sides of your kiln. Available in 20" diameter full and half shelves for 23" diameter kilns, and 25.5" diameter half shelves for 28" diameter kilns, these shelves are still 3/4" thick so they will match your existing kiln furniture. Please note: there is no warranty on refractories! There are many factors that can cause shelves to fail over which we have no control. It is the nature of the material. Other than shipping damages, no claims can be made on refractories.
The Skutt 1627-3 PK Oval kiln has a 46" x 31" interior and is 27" inches deep. The chamber size is 18.5 cubic feet.
The PK stands for “Production Kiln” and that is exactly what these things are designed for.
One of the most important things you need in a large production kiln is power… and the KM1627-3 has it in spades! An under-powered production kiln will fire slow and cause your elements to spend more time than necessary at high temperatures which can drastically reduce their useful life. Time is money, and when you are in business you can’t afford to waste either one.
The power is delivered by industrial grade wiring and components that can more than handle it.
The elements are connected by a unique bus bar system make it very easy to replace the elements.
We offer a Cone 10 model as well as a low fire model (Cone 1) for companies that may have limited power available to them.

DESCRIPTIONThe Cone Art BX2822D will easily fire to cone 10. With a 28” interior diameter this kiln is suited for 26” diameter shelves, and just like the BX2322D is a little easier to reach the bottom than with standard depth kilns. 3 thermocouples and double wall construction results in energy efficiency, and Cone Art's standard element in the floor helps to ensure even firings every time. Just like the deeper models, this kiln easily disassembles into 3 sections for easy delivery. Combining Cone Art's patented lid lifter with the 22.5” depth make this an ideal production kiln for baby boomers. The kiln is big enough to hold a large load while being easy on your back.

Vent Doubler for venting two kilns with one vent This accessory allows you to connect two kilns to a Vent-Sure vent system. It can be added to an existing vent system or can be ordered with a new vent. In some cases you may be able to fire two kilns at once. The Vent-Sure has enough force to vent at least 20 cubic feet of kiln. That means, for instance, that two e28T-3 kilns could be vented while firing at the same time. The "T" duct fitting attaches to the inlet of the fan motor. There are two dampers on it to allow you to both control the flow and to shut off one or the other kiln. Flexible aluminum dryer duct goes between the ends of this "T" duct and the two fittings that attach to the kiln stands. WHAT THE OPTIONAL “VENT-DOUBLER” INCLUDES One 3" galvanized "T" duct fitting with dampers with self-drilling screws to attach it to the motor assembly One extra Collection Box with slide damper One extra 15' Flexible Aluminum Duct (one is normally included with the Vent-Sure). There are two clamps per Flexible Duct Assembly One Floor/Wall bracket. NOTE ABOUT PHOTO The photo above shows an entire installation to illustrate how the system is put together. The Vent Doubling System does not include stands or the Multi-Mounting Bracket. It only includes what is mentioned above. (Consider buying a Multi-Mounting Bracket if you need to install the system like the photograph shows).
