Achieve Flawless Results on Any Scale with the Olympic 309GFE: Perfect for Large and Irregular Glass Work
Precision and Versatility for Complex Glass Work
The Olympic Kilns 309GFE is the ideal solution for glass artists working on large or uniquely shaped pieces. With its expansive oval firing chamber measuring 42″ wide by 30″ front-to-back by 13.5” deep, this kiln is designed to handle oversized glass fusing, forming, and heat-treating projects that don’t fit in standard cylindrical or square kilns. Whether you're tackling intricate designs or large-scale projects, the 309GFE provides the space and flexibility you need to achieve exceptional results.
Advanced Heating Control for Consistent Quality
The 309GFE is equipped with lid and body elements that ensure even and precise heat distribution throughout the firing process. The lid element delivers focused radiant heat during the fusing stage, while the body elements manage ramping up, cooling down, and annealing phases. An infinite switch allows complete control over the intensity of the lid element, so you can easily adjust the heat to suit the unique requirements of each project. This flexibility ensures consistent, high-quality outcomes with every firing.
Built for Durability and User Convenience
Constructed with a durable stainless-steel jacket and supported by an 18″ tall metal stand, the 309GFE is built for longevity and ease of use in any studio environment. The kiln comes standard with the Digital KilnStar controller, offering precise control over firing schedules with an intuitive programming interface. The KilnStar controller allows you to easily manage ramp-hold settings, delay start, cone offset, and more, making it the perfect tool for artists seeking reliable, accurate firing control.
For those who want even more advanced capabilities, the Genesis touchscreen controller is available as an upgrade. With its sleek, modern interface and expanded programming features, the Genesis gives artists more control over their firing profiles, making it ideal for complex or highly customized projects.
Customizable Options for Enhanced Performance
The 309GFE offers a range of optional upgrades to further enhance its performance. Customize your kiln with features such as a bead door, quartz glass viewing window, lid element in quartz rods, or an automatic lid shutoff for added convenience and control. Whether you’re working on intricate or large-scale pieces, these options ensure your kiln meets the demands of your unique projects.
If you require a kiln with a 3-phase wiring setup, Pottery Pulse can provide pricing information and electrical specifications to suit your studio’s needs.
