Top Load
Capable of daily cone 10 firings, the HF 2918 boasts a vertical loading configuration with a chamber that measures 29 inches in diameter and 18 inches deep.
Lid Handle
Evenheat understands the significance of handles. The correct size and shape of handles are essential for the task at hand. The lid handles provided for the HF Studio Series by Evenheat exemplify this principle, featuring a 13" handle meticulously crafted for a comfortable grip and smooth operation. These wide, corner-mounted handles facilitate confident and effortless lifting, even when wearing gloves. They distinguish themselves from others on the market, delivering a delightful user experience.
Dyna-Lift Lid Lift Assist
All High Fire studio models are equipped with Evenheat's Patented Dyna-Lift lid lift assist as a standard feature.
The Dyna-Lift significantly reduces the effort required to operate the kiln lid, accomplishing this task smoothly and gracefully without any adverse effects on the kiln.
Key features of this design include the absence of a connection to the kiln body, a single-point lifting system, and a focus on allowing the lid to function naturally.
In contrast, competing lid lift designs attach the lifting mechanism directly to the kiln itself. This places all the lifting forces on the kiln chamber, leading to significant weakening and damage over time. Our Dyna-Lift takes a different approach by channeling all lifting forces to the kiln stand itself.
The Dyna-Lift stands as the ultimate Lid Lift Assist that ensures no damage to your kiln!
Multi-zone Control
The HF 2918 comes with an advanced multi-zone control system. This technology employs multiple thermocouples (temperature sensors) to efficiently oversee and maintain the heat levels within the firing chamber.
By dividing the kiln chamber into distinct heat zones, each equipped with its dedicated thermocouple, the kiln achieves an exceptionally high level of precision in temperature control for each section. This meticulous regulation leads to an impressively consistent temperature distribution across the entire chamber, ensuring uniformity from top to bottom.
Lid Vent
Cool down already! The HF 2918 comes with an innovative two-position lid vent that has been expertly crafted to speed up that the cooling process... with precision.
Swing View Equipped
The HF 2918 seamlessly integrates its temperature controls into Evenheat's Swing View Adjustable Enclosure.
This feature consists of a swivel, lift-up enclosure that enables you to adjust the control panel to the ideal angle for convenient viewing and programming. When you've completed your tasks, simply lower it back into position for a clear view from any spot in your studio. The process is straightforward and efficient.
The Swing View harmonizes exceptionally well with touchscreen controls like the Icon+, guaranteeing the perfect alignment of the viewing angle. Its convenience is sure to be warmly embraced.
3" Firebrick with No Loss in Chamber Volume
As the evolution of kiln design unfolded, the 2-1/2" firebrick played a pivotal role. However, the rise in high-temperature requirements marked the dominance of the 3" firebrick, prompting many kiln manufacturers to make adjustments. Their choice was to shrink the firing chamber to accommodate the thicker insulation while leaving the kiln's external dimensions unchanged.
In contrast, Evenheat pursued a distinctive path. Instead of reducing the chamber's size, they retained its ample interior space and expanded the external dimensions. This innovative approach preserves the chamber's capacity, ensuring a seamless fit for standard kiln furniture. This considerate design decision underscores a commitment to maintaining compatibility and user-friendliness.
Swing-Away Peephole Covers
Evenheat's kiln designs feature swing-away peephole covers, departing from the traditional use of plugs.
Conventional plugs tend to go missing or get damaged over time. In contrast, Evenheat's integrated peephole covers stay securely attached to the kiln, enabling convenient swinging open and closing. This design ensures they won't be lost or suffer damage.
Lid Security Bar
The HF 2918 is thoughtfully equipped with a lid prop bar, expertly crafted to maintain the lid securely in an open position. This handy feature works in perfect harmony with our carefully engineered lid handle, enhancing the ease and fluidity of the kiln's operation.
Relay Access Port
The HF 2918 showcases Evenheat's Relay Access Port, a cleverly designed feature that simplifies and streamlines relay replacement without the need to disassemble the entire panel.
Users can easily remove the access plate to gain direct access to the mechanical relays, eliminating the necessity to remove the control panel or deal with intricate internal wiring. This process is remarkably straightforward and efficient, requiring only a screwdriver.
Recognizing that mechanical relays may eventually encounter issues, Evenheat's introduction of the relay access port proves to be an invaluable resource during such situations.
While Pottery Pulse strongly recommends considering the Quiet Drive Solid State Relay system, for those working within a budget, this feature stands out as a practical and accessible option.
