Crucible 18 equipped with electronic controller Model – Crucible 18/240 or 208 volt

Inside dimensions: 17.5 ” wide x 18″ deep, fires to 2350° F

The model comes with an 8” stand, counter-weighted cover, operating instructions, and a One-year warranty.

The Crucible 18 is built with heavy insulation of 3” thick brick walls and a 1” fiber blanket surrounded by a solid stainless-steel jacket. A one-inch ceramic fiberboard gasket retains the heat in the kiln when gathering glass from the crucible and customized gaskets can be cut to the size of the crucible when the kiln is ordered. A stainless-steel trough protects the kiln brick when gathering glass and the counter-weighted lid cover makes gathering glass safe and easy. The 3” thick separate kiln bottom may be turned over or easily replaced if damaged. The Crucible 18 is equipped with an automatic lid shut-off which turns the elements off when the lid of the kiln is opened and the Bartlett Instruments 3 Key controller comes standard on the kiln with 4 ramp-hold programs, which stay in memory until written over. Controller information is entered by scrolling through the up and down arrows to the desired temperature and time. Type K or Type S thermocouple are available options.

Element Operation: Four (4) sets of elements can be used for rapid heat up. Two (2) sets are required to maintain temperature, two (2) sets are in reserve to prevent unwanted cooling if an element is lost while firing. For rapid heating or melting glass, more than two-element sets may be used. • Banks of elements are labeled on the electrical box – 1-3, 2-4, 5-7, and 6-8.
