Olympic Kilns GF12E for Large-Scale Glass Masterpieces

Expansive Capacity, Precision Craftsmanship, and Flexibility

The Olympic Kilns GF12E Large Capacity Glass Fusing Kiln is designed for artists and professionals who require maximum firing space and uncompromised precision. With an impressively large firing chamber measuring 60″ wide by 30″ front-to-back by 12″ deep, the GF12E is built to manage even the largest glass projects and high-volume production needs. Whether you’re working on large glass panels, intricate patterns, or expansive installations, the GF12E offers the extensive workspace and power necessary to achieve exceptional results.

Engineered for Strength and Longevity

Constructed with a heavy-duty frame made from angle iron and metal tubing, the GF12E is built for durability and stability under the most demanding conditions. The kiln features 4 ½” thick insulating brick walls, layered with 1” ceramic fiberboard and an additional 1” air space, creating a highly efficient insulation system that maintains consistent internal temperatures while keeping the exterior cool. The double-insulated floors, crafted from brick and ceramic fiberboard, enhance the kiln’s energy efficiency and heat retention, making the GF12E ideal for continuous, high-capacity production.

Versatile Loading Solutions for Every Artistic Need

The GF12E offers a variety of loading configurations tailored to suit different project requirements. It can be customized as a top-loading kiln, a clamshell-loading kiln, or a combination of both, providing flexibility to accommodate a wide range of glass shapes and sizes. Additionally, the innovative Bell design allows the entire firing chamber to be electronically raised and lowered, with a removable floor for easy loading and unloading, ensuring that the GF12E adapts seamlessly to any project.

Advanced Control and Customization

Outfitted with the Bartlett KilnStar digital electronic controller, the GF12E offers precise control over every aspect of the firing process. For those seeking even more customization, optional upgrades such as the Genesis touchscreen controller and multi-zone control provide greater accuracy and flexibility. The kiln’s heavy gauge elements and industrial relays are designed for long-lasting performance, while safety features like a hinged electrical box, breaker box, pilot light, and optional automatic lid shutoff ensure safe and convenient operation.

Enhance Your Kiln with Tailored Accessories

The GF12E can be further optimized with a variety of optional accessories, including lid elements in quartz rods, 480-volt power options, and advanced venting systems. For detailed specifications and pricing, contact Pottery Pulse, where our experts can assist you in customizing your kiln to perfectly meet your production needs.

Additionally, the GF12E is compatible with furniture kits specifically designed to enhance the kiln’s performance. These kits include ceramic fiberboard shelves, ceramic paper, and large square posts, ensuring even heating and support for your glass projects. Whether you opt for the standard kit or choose to build a customized one, these accessories will help you maintain a well-organized and efficient workspace, tailored to your artistic vision.

The Olympic Kilns GF12E is a game-changer for glass artists looking to expand their creative horizons. With its unmatched capacity, robust construction, and advanced features, the GF12E empowers you to take on larger and more ambitious projects, helping you achieve new levels of excellence in your craft. Whether you’re focused on high-volume production or creating one-of-a-kind, large-scale glass pieces, the GF12E is designed to meet and exceed your expectations, bringing your most ambitious artistic visions to life.
