Olympic Kiln - 2027HE
The Olympic Oval was created to fill many needs. First, to provide a kiln for large ceramic pieces and big commercial loads, while requiring little more floor space than the cylindrical kiln; and second, to offer an extremely energy efficient kiln for larger loads. Long the workhorse for the busy studio or ceramic factory, the Olympic Oval is designed for fast-firing requirements and ceramic production.
Olympic Oval kilns are constructed of three-inch brick for added insulation and strength. The top section has an additional 2 inch blank row of bricks to protect the first row of elements. The top and bottom sections are connected to the center section by an interconnecting plug, allowing the sections to be easily separated and reducing the amperage carried by the interconnecting plug to just one element.
Balanced heating elements insure even distribution of heat within the kiln regardless of the load being fired. The lid of the ovals has a lid lift assist for easy opening and closing of the kiln lid and the lid has a hole in the center for venting (lid wedges are not to be used with an oval lid). Each ring has handles for easy lifting and Olympic’s unique ring lock to prevent shifting of the kiln rings when in use.
Solid State Relay
A Solid State Relay is hands down the best investment you can make in your kiln!
The relay is what controls the power cycling of the elements in the kiln and they need to be able to withstand a ton of power as they do so. The solid state relays are incredibly efficient compared to the standard mechanical relays and are able to operate at much faster speeds. What this equates to is incredibly tight temperature control for accurate firings, longer element life, and savings on your electrical bill!
The standard mechanical relays have moving parts which cause wea
