The digital SC-3 kiln fires Art Clay Silver and PMC silver clays,decals,china paint,enameling,and glass in minutes up to 2000℉ . The SC-3 is popular with seminar teachers because it fires so fast,plugs into a 120 volt outlet,and is easy to sell during the seminar . The SC-3 is popular among laboratories as a test furnace .
The SC-3 has been in production since 1998 . It is a proven design that we have steadily refined every year since then . Artists in the U .S .,Canada,Europe,and Japan lovetheir SC-3 .
The SC-3,for a digital kiln,is surprisingly affordable . It fires automatically at the rate and temperature you enter . A large,brightly lit display prompts for firingrate,temperature and hold time . Use the hold feature to automatically soak any type of clay silver to its recommended time .
The ceramic fiber firingchamber is wrapped in a steel inner case . The outer steel case remains cool because of the air gap that separates it from the inner case . In addition,the case is slotted for air circulation . Electrical components,located in the base,stay cool even at extended hold times .
The fast firingelement is embedded in the firingchamber shell . It includes a top vent for lost wax casting .
The SC-3 has separate heating elements in the left and right sides of the firingchamber . The back of the chamber has no element . This results in improved heat distribution,because heat does not build up in the back of the kiln .
Each SC-3 includes a¼ thick ceramic fiber shelf .
