Excel kilns are precision manufactured with only top quality components to assure years of service. And they include many standard features that are extra on other round kilns.
EZ-Lift spring-assisted hinge for Excel 10 and 12-sided kilns makes the lid lighter for easier opening and closing while making your Excel kiln safer by reducing the risk of sudden lid drops. An EZ-Lift Upgrade Kit is also available as an add-on to existing 10 and 12-sided Excel kilns.
The general features of Excel kilns include:
Modular design - independent sections allow for one-person moving and easy brick and element replacement
Premium refractory firebrick - made from the highest quality materials, carefully cut and grooved for precise fit.
Sealed, dust-free lids with full floating hinges to allow for proper expansion and contraction during firing
Two-position, reinforced steel bar -- Standard on all Excel kilns including models with EZ-Lift -- secures lid while loading and unloading
Reversible slabs - extend the life of the kiln
High quality Kanthal A-1 elements
Stainless steel jackets of superior strength allow for further kiln expansion during firing
Choice of infinite control switches or Select FireTM computer control (Models EX-1099SF. 1266SF, and 1850SF available with Select FireTM only)
Corrosion resistant lug connectors that require only a screwdriver to replace elements

7-foot power cord with NEMA plug (except EX-1099SF and 1850SF which are direct wire)
