Evenheat Kiln - GTS 24

​All this and more in a design that looks as good as it performs. 

NEW! Better Venting Options! Evenheat now offers a Two-Position Lid Vent. The lower vent position props the lid up by about an inch. Perfect for venting off adhesives and other low-temperature binding materials. The upper vent position props the lid by about 4 inches. Perfect for speeding up the cooling process.

NEW! An easily identifiable Maintenance Tag! To assist you in replacing worn items we have included a maintenance parts tag on the GTS 24 indicating the proper Evenheat part numbers for anticipated maintenance items. Wish we had this decades ago.

All these improvements build on the legacy of what artists have come to expect from GTS line.

Fiber Lid

The lid of the GTS 24 is constructed of a fiber material that provides excellent thermal properties along with light weight. This design allows the heating elements to be positioned on the surface for maximum heat
transfer and firing efficiency.

The fiber chosen for the lid is an extremely low-shot material. The surface is then covered with a no-shot fiber sheet. These two materials combine to create a lighter weight lid while severely limiting debris from the
lid falling onto the glass.

Top Load

The GTS 24 is a top loading design and offers a chamber 24" wide x 24" long x 13.5" deep. The rim of the chamber is 32" off the floor which is at waist height or lower making it very easy to load and position your glass.

Fiber and Firebrick Design

The GTS 24 is constructed of both fiber and firebrick. The entire lid is constructed of fiber to reduce the overall weight of the lid as well as severely limiting lid debris. The walls and floor are made of firebrick which is desired in a glass kiln as it stores heat in the beginning of the firing and acts to smooth out temperature swings. It then releases heat slowly at the completion of the firing resulting in very effective annealing. It's beautiful.

The GTS 24, like the related Studio Pro models, artfully combines two great materials to produce one of the best glass kiln designs out there.

Swing View Equipped

GTS 24 temperature controls are fitted to our Swing View Adjustable Enclosure. The swing view is a pivoting, swing-up enclosure that allows you to
rotate the control to a comfortable viewing and programming angle. Once you're done, lay it back down to see it from across your studio. It's
that simple.
 
The swing view pairs well with touchscreen controls like the TAP II, Icon+ and Icon as viewing angle can be perfectly aligned. You'll love it.

Relay Access Port

The GTS 24 incorporates our Relay Access Port for simple, no-panel-off relay replacement. Simply
remove the access plate to gain access to the mechanical relays. There's no need to remove the control panel and dig into the internal wiring. It's absolutely simple and effective and all it takes is a
screwdriver!

​It's a given that mechanical relays will fail at some point. This relay access port really comes in handy when they do.

Power Interrupt Switch

The GTS 24 is standard equipped with a power interrupt switch which removes electrical power from all heating elements if the lid is opened. This is important for those who may access the kiln during firing such as glass manipulation.

Now Standard With Quiet Drive Solid State Relays

All Heat Treating Ovens, Knife Ovens, and Glass Kilns (except for Studio Pro STP) now come equipped with Quiet Drive Solid State Relays. The Quiet Drive Solid State Relay System offers tight temperature control, high reliability and increased heating element life. The Quiet Drive is arguably the best designed and best performing solid state system on the market.

OPTIONS:

TAP, Icon, Icon+ or Rampmaster III Controls Option: The GTS 24 is available with your choice of the TAP, Icon or Icon+ temperature controllers. The TAP, Icon and Icon+ are touchscreen-style and offer full programming functions. While Rampmaster III is a 12-key digital controller is a great alternative for those who don’t want a touchscreen.

Rolling Option: The GTS 24 is easily made mobile with our rolling option. The GTS 24 base is equipped to accept our casters. No frame or extra hardware is required. Simply attach the casters to the standard base, and you're ready to go! Casters are not factory-installed. You will install them when you first set up your kiln. It's designed to be easy, and it is. They can always be added later as well.
