Olympic Kiln - DPF 2518HE

The Bartlett V6-CF 12-key Digital Controller gives you the freedom to create up to six, 8-step user programs. Other features include delay start, preheat, alarm, cone adjustments, thermocouple adjustments, °F or °C operation, 16 segment program, and skip step.

As an option, you can upgrade to the Genesis Controller, a modern and intuitive user platform with touch-screen technology for an effortless user interface. It can store up to 12 custom user programs with up to 32 segments per program and has the ability to make adjustment during a firing such as add segments, add temperature, and skip segments. Additionally, the easy-to-follow screen descriptions and graphical display of the firing process, allow the Genesis controller to make firing kilns extremely straightforward.

During operation, the VentMaster Downdraft Vent System keeps the kiln under a slight negative pressure. This pulls the fumes out of the kiln and pulls in a small amount of fresh air. Firing times are essentially the same. The fumes are exhausted directly into a duct system and removed from the kiln room. Improved airflow in the kiln results in more uniform temperatures, reducing hot and cold spots.

The DPF 2518HE is also equipped with its own breaker box for easy access, safety and lockout.

Whether you run a small diesel service garage or maintain a huge diesel fleet, you'll need to ensure you have the right tools for the DPF cleaning job! Our DPF Thermal Cleaning Units are solidly built and warrantied to provide years of flawless service helping you service your customers efficiently!

Why Upgrade from Mechanical Relays to Solid-State Relays?      

Mechanical Relays, which come standard on most kilns have internal moving parts which over time wear out and need to be replaced.  Kiln manufacturers recommend you replace your mechanical relays approximately every 2 years.  Solid-state relays have no moving parts and last far longer than standard mechanical relays and offer far better temperature control during hold times.  Since solid-state relays also have no moving parts to wear out, they NEVER need to be replaced.  You will notice that solid-state relays are silent.  The only sound you will hear is just the reassuring hum of the heating elements.  So, this factory upgrade saves you potential down time from having to wait for new relays to arrive, potential over-fires from relays sticking in the closed position, potential aggravation from having to learn how to remove and replace the mechanical relays yourself.  We think this upgrade is well worth the cost and will save you time and aggravation over the life of your kiln.

Here's a Sample DPF Firing schedule:

Note: The specific firing schedule may vary depending on the DPF manufacturer, its condition, and the desired level of cleaning. Always consult the DPF manufacturer's guidelines for the most accurate and safe procedures.

Here's a general firing schedule using multiple segments in Fahrenheit:

Segment 1: Pre-Heat

Temperature Range: 150°F to 350°F

Duration: 10-15 minutes

Purpose: Gradually warms up the DPF to prevent thermal shock.

Segment 2: Soot Oxidation

Temperature Range: 350°F to 800°F

Duration: 30-60 minutes

Purpose: Oxidizes soot particles in the DPF.

Segment 3: High Temperature Cleaning

Temperature Range: 800°F to 1000°F

Duration: 30-60 minutes

Purpose: Removes any remaining soot and ash.

Segment 4: Cool Down

Temperature Range: 1000°F to 150°F

Duration: 30-60 minutes

Purpose: Gradually cools down the DPF to prevent thermal shock.

Additional Considerations:

Oxygen Supply: Ensure adequate oxygen supply during the cleaning process.

Monitoring: Monitor the DPF's temperature and pressure throughout the cleaning cycle.

Repeat Cycles: If necessary, repeat the cleaning process until the desired level of soot removal is achieved.

Professional Assistance: For complex or heavily clogged DPFs, consider consulting a professional for cleaning.

Remember: This is a general schedule. Always refer to the DPF manufacturer's specific guidelines for the most accurate and safe cleaning procedures.

For those who need a specific DPF Firing schedule to enter based on the above guidelines:

Segment 1: 250F p/h to 350F - HOLD 15min

Segment 2: 350F p/h to 800F - HOLD 60 min

Segment 3: 350F p/h to 1000F - HOLD 60 min

Segment 4: off

Do not open the oven door until you are under 200F.
