Olympic Kiln - TL5428E

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 downtime 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.

Adding Vents:

You can upgrade your kiln operation with this optional VentMaster Downdraft Vent System, this 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.

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.

The TL5432E is also equipped with its own breaker box for easy access, safety and lockout.

ABOUT OUR FLAT RATE SHIPPING: 

Due to the size of the Olympic TL series kilns, this kiln may be shipped by private carrier in its own freight delivery truck straight from the factory to your door. This insures that your kiln arrives at your location "factory fresh" without damage.  This avoids your kiln being jostled around between freight stops along its journey, and it ensures no other large delivery items will bump into your kiln, and best of all it avoids stops at freight hubs along the way where things have to be moved around in the truck, which is when most damages occur. Unfortunately all of this special treatment comes at a cost.  We are now offering a larger discount on these kilns and charging flat rate shipping so that you get your kiln delivered the best way possible. And here is the best part of the deal.  If the actual shipping ends up being less than the flat rate shipping charge once the kiln is ready to ship, we will refund the difference to you.  Even better, if it turns out to be more, the extra charges are on us! (*Of course, the usual remote delivery access fees would apply if you are in an area that is not accessible to a regular freight delivery. See our limited delivery areas definition on the shipping info page.)

NOTE*** This kiln is delivered fully assembled. No assembly is required on site. The carrier is responsible for transporting the freight but not for unloading it. Large capacity kilns 20 cubic feet and larger require the customer to have a forklift that can move the kiln from the truck to the desired location. If you do not have access to a forklift, check the internet or yellow pages for small moving companies that can take the freight off the freight carrier and move the freight to the desired location. Give any prospective mover a physical description of the kiln and its weight, and inform them that it is designed to be picked up with a truck and a forklift only. It is your responsibility to move the freight from the truck to its place of use.
