Olympic Kilns GF15E: The Ultimate Solution for Monumental Glass Projects

Unrivaled Capacity, Precision Engineering, and Versatility

The Olympic Kilns GF15E Large Capacity Glass Fusing Kiln is the pinnacle of performance for artists and professionals who require the utmost in firing space and precision. Featuring a colossal firing chamber measuring 60″ wide by 36″ front-to-back by 12″ deep, the GF15E is engineered to handle the most ambitious glass projects and high-volume production demands. Whether you’re working on large-scale glass panels, intricate designs, or expansive installations, the GF15E provides the expansive workspace and power necessary to achieve flawless results.

Engineered for Endurance and Superior Performance

Built with a robust frame of angle iron and metal tubing, the GF15E is designed to withstand the most rigorous use. The kiln's 4 ½” thick insulating brick walls are layered with 1” ceramic fiberboard and an additional 1” air space, creating a highly efficient insulation system that ensures consistent internal temperatures while keeping the exterior cool. The double-insulated floors, constructed from brick and ceramic fiberboard, further optimize heat retention and energy efficiency, making the GF15E an excellent choice for continuous, high-capacity production.

Flexible Loading Options to Suit Any Project

The GF15E offers multiple loading configurations to meet a wide range of project requirements. It can be customized as a top-loading kiln, a clamshell-loading kiln, or a combination of both, offering the flexibility to accommodate various glass shapes and sizes.

Precision Control with Advanced Customization

Equipped with the Bartlett KilnStar digital electronic controller, the GF15E provides precise control over the entire firing process. For those who require even more customization, optional upgrades such as the Genesis touchscreen controller and multi-zone control offer enhanced accuracy and flexibility. The kiln’s heavy gauge elements and industrial relays are built for long-lasting performance, while safety features like a hinged electrical box, breaker box, pilot light, and optional automatic lid shutoff ensure safe and reliable operation.

Maximize Your Kiln's Potential with Custom Accessories

The GF15E can be further optimized with a wide range of optional accessories, including lid elements in quartz rods, 480-volt power options, and advanced venting systems. For detailed specifications and pricing on the 480V option, contact Pottery Pulse, where we can help you customize your kiln to meet your specific production needs.

Additionally, the GF15E is compatible with furniture kits designed to enhance its performance. These kits include ceramic fiberboard shelves, ceramic paper, and large square posts, ensuring even heating and support for your glass projects during firing. Whether you choose the standard kit or opt to build your own, these accessories will help you maintain a well-organized and efficient workspace tailored to your artistic needs.

The Olympic Kilns GF15E is revolutionary tool for glass artists aiming to push the boundaries of their creativity. With its unparalleled capacity, robust construction, and advanced features, the GF15E empowers you to take on larger and more ambitious projects, achieving new levels of excellence in your craft. Whether you're focused on high-volume production or creating unique, large-scale glass pieces, the GF15E is designed to meet and exceed your expectations, making your artistic visions a reality.
