Olympic Kilns Square 189GFE: Precision Firing for Stunning Results

Master the Art of Glass Fusing with Unmatched Control and Flexibility

Introducing the Olympic Kilns Square 189GFE, a top-loading kiln designed to bring your glass fusing and forming projects to life with precision and ease. With a spacious 18″ wide x 18″ deep by 9″ high firing chamber, this kiln offers the ideal environment for artists who demand consistency and reliability in their work. Whether you’re fusing intricate glass designs or heat-treating delicate pieces, the Square 189GFE provides the advanced features and user-friendly controls you need to achieve flawless results every time.

Superior Heating for Every Stage of Your Process

The Square 189GFE is equipped with both lid and body elements, providing complete control over every stage of the glass firing process. The lid element is perfect for achieving the intense, even heat required during the fusing segment, while the body elements ensure a smooth ramp-up and annealing phase. With the Digital KilnStar controller, you can precisely program and adjust the heating profiles to suit your specific project needs, whether you require rapid heating for high-intensity tasks or a more controlled heat distribution for delicate work.

Built for Durability and Ease of Use

Constructed with a stainless steel jacket and supported by an 18” tall metal stand, the Square 189GFE is built to withstand the demands of frequent use in a professional studio environment. The kiln’s top-loading design makes it easy to access your work, and for those seeking even more versatility, an upgrade to a combination top-loading and clamshell lid design is available. This innovative design allows you to open the kiln like a clamshell, providing effortless access to your projects and making it ideal for larger or more delicate pieces that require careful handling.

At the heart of the Square 189GFE is the standard Digital KilnStar controller, a powerful yet user-friendly interface that ensures every firing is precise and repeatable. The KilnStar controller offers advanced programming capabilities with multiple programmable segments, allowing you to create complex firing schedules tailored to your unique projects. Its intuitive controls make it easy to set ramp rates, target temperatures, and hold times, giving you unparalleled control over your firing process. With features like delay start, preheat, and skip-step, the KilnStar controller empowers you to achieve consistent, high-quality results, while its reliability lets you focus on your artistry with confidence.

For those who desire even more control and convenience, an upgrade to the Genesis Touchscreen controller is available. The Genesis controller brings all the functionality of the KilnStar controller to a full-color touchscreen interface, making it even easier to program complex firing sequences. With graphical displays, real-time temperature graphs, and intuitive navigation, the Genesis controller enhances your kiln experience. It also offers additional features such as built-in help resources, Wi-Fi connectivity for software updates, and the ability to store and recall an expanded number of firing programs. The Genesis controller is designed to streamline your workflow and provide an even more seamless firing experience.

Customization and Upgrades for Enhanced Performance

The Square 189GFE is as versatile as you are, with a range of optional upgrades available to enhance its performance. In addition to the Genesis Touchscreen controller and the combination top-loading and clamshell lid design, you can also opt for features like a lid lift assist for effortless operation, a quartz glass viewing window for real-time monitoring, and an automatic lid shutoff that immediately turns off power to the heating elements the moment the kiln door is opened.

If interested in either (or both) the 480-volt option and 3-phase wiring configuration (at any voltage), contact Pottery Pulse directly to get details and pricing information.

Optimize Your Workspace with a Furniture Kit

To make the most of your kiln’s capacity, consider adding a furniture kit designed specifically for the Square 189GFE. The kit includes two layers of shelving, assorted square posts, and ceramic paper, ensuring that your glass pieces are evenly supported and heated during firing. Choose the standard kit or customize your own to fit your unique workflow and project requirements.

The Olympic Kilns Square 189GFE is designed to be your go-to tool for glass artistry. Its exceptional features, flexibility, and durable construction make it an ideal choice for artists looking to take their craft to the next level. This kiln equips you with everything you need to transform your creative ideas into stunning, high-quality glass pieces.
