Evenheat Kiln - GTS 2541 w/ Dyna-Lift Lid Lifter

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 2541 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.

Top Load

The GTS 2541 is a top loading design and offers a chamber 41" wide x 25.25" 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.

All Firebrick Design

Staying true to its roots, the GTS 2541 is built completely of firebrick. Firebrick is desired in a glass kiln as it stores heat in the beginning of the firing which acts to smooth out temperature swings. It then
releases heat slowly at the completion of the firing resulting in very calm annealing, especially over an annealing range. It's just beautiful.

Lid Lift Assist

Large firebrick lids like that found on the GTS 2541 are quite heavy. To assist in opening and closing we have equipped the GTS 2541 with our patented Dyna-Lift lid lift assist.
​
The Dyna-Lift lightens the force needed to operate the kiln lid by attaching and lifting at a single point; the lid handle. The lift assist is not attached to the kiln chamber at all. All heavy lifting forces
are directed entirely to the kiln base and not the kiln itself. It's a wonderful design that places no lifting forces onto the chamber which
would only weaken it.

The Dyna-Lift Lid Lift Assist is the best designed, best performing lift assist available.

Swing View Equipped

GTS 2541 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.
 
The swing view pairs well with touchscreen controls like the TAP II, Icon+ and Icon as viewing angle can be perfectly aligned.

Relay Access Port

The GTS 2541 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.

Curved Element Routes

Heating element routes in the GTS 2541 lid are all curves. There's not a straight line to be found. These curved routes promote additional
element retention.

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 II, Icon, Icon+ or Rampmaster III Controls Option: The GTS 2541 is available with your choice of the TAP II, Icon or Icon+ temperature controllers. The TAP II, 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 2541 is easily made mobile with our rolling option. The GTS 2541 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.
