Experience Artistic Freedom with the Olympic Kilns 2018HE Electric Kiln

Step into a World Where Your Artistic Visions Take Shape

The Olympic Kilns 2018HE Oval Electric Kiln is more than just a kiln; it's a gateway to new creative possibilities. Designed for large projects and uniquely shaped pieces that challenge conventional kilns, the 2018HE offers unparalleled versatility and innovative features to meet the needs of artists at any level.

Spacious Interior for Expansive Creations

With a generous interior measuring 30"W x 20" front-to-back x 20"D, the 2018HE provides ample space for large sculptures, intricate designs, and complex projects. Capable of firing up to Cone 10 – 2350°F/1288°C, this kiln ensures that even the most demanding materials are processed to perfection.

Innovative Oval Design for Diverse Creations

The 2018HE’s oval shape is ideal for artists who work on large-scale or unconventional pieces. Its 3” brick construction, with an additional 2" blank brick row in the first section, provides extra protection for the heating elements during loading and unloading, enhancing the kiln’s longevity and efficiency.

State-of-the-Art Construction for Optimal Performance

Built with Olympic's trusted electrical box design, the 2018HE includes heat shields with top and bottom perforations to protect electrical components while maintaining optimal firing temperatures. The kiln's balanced heating elements ensure even heat distribution throughout the chamber, delivering consistent results under all firing conditions.

Advanced Features for Precision and Ease

The 2018HE is equipped with a pilot light, metal stand, stainless steel jacket, and lid lift assist, making the firing process both easy and precise. It comes standard with the Digital KilnStar Controller, offering user-friendly control over cone fire and ramp/hold programming. This controller makes it simple to select and execute the perfect firing schedule for any project.

Customizable Options for Tailored Firing

For those seeking even greater control and flexibility, the Genesis Touchscreen Controller is available as an upgrade. The Genesis provides advanced features such as enhanced ramp-hold user programs, delay start, preheat, cone offset, and skip-step, all accessible through an intuitive touchscreen interface. This upgrade allows you to execute precise firings with ease and accuracy.

Extend Your Possibilities with Additional Options

Further customize your 2018HE with options like Solid State Relays for quieter operation, improved precision, and a longer kiln lifespan. You can also choose 2 or 3-zone control and ventilation options to gain more control over the firing process. If you require power configurations beyond the standard 208 or 240 volts, additional voltage options are available to meet your specific needs.

Adaptability for Various Art Forms

While the 2018HE is ideal for pottery, ceramics, and heat-treating projects, it can also be adapted for glasswork with the addition of the Dual Media Lid Element. This option allows you to explore a wider range of artistic mediums within a single kiln.

Comprehensive Furniture Kits

To maximize the potential of your 2018HE, optional Furniture Kits are available, featuring three layers of shelving, kiln wash, and large square posts in various sizes. These kits are specifically designed to make the most of the kiln’s oval shape, providing support for a wide range of projects and helping you organize your workspace efficiently.

One-Year Limited Warranty for Peace of Mind

Your investment in the Olympic Kilns 2018HE Electric Kiln is protected by a one-year limited warranty, giving you confidence and peace of mind as you pursue your artistic goals.
