MOST MODELS RATE TO CONE 10 - 2350F - 1287C
|
 |
|
- Hot enough to fire stoneware and porcelain.
- The 18" high J23 and J2918 are only rated to Cone 5 because of the greater percentage of unheated surface area in the kiln (unless you get a powered bottom).
|
| .. |
|
|
|
|
CHOICE OF 2-1/2" OR 3" BRICK
|
|
- 2-1/2" Premium grade K23 firebrick is standard
- 3" Brick is optional

|
LARGE 1" DIAMETER PEEPHOLES
|
|
 |
- Peepholes are a full one inch diameter and are not tapered.
- Better view inside kiln
- Less chance of breakage

|
|
|
|
|
|
MULTI-ZONE DESIGN
|
|
|
|
- Whether you order a manual or an automatic control, every Jupiter kiln is multi-zoned.
- Each 9" section (and optional powered bottom) has its own separate contactor or manual infinite switch.
- In the case of the four or five section automatic kilns the middle sections operate together as one zone.
- For automatic kilns the optional powered bottom is tied into the bottom zone. However, the DynaTrol allows you to adjust how much of the bottom's power is used (from 10% to 100%).
|
| .. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
A LONG AND DISTINGUISHED PEDIGREE
|
|
- Jupiter kilns are based on the long and well respected Econo-Kiln line that L&L has made for over 35 years. We have simply improved the line.
|
| .. |
|
|
Automatic Jupiters Feature... |
|
DYNATROL AUTOMATIC CONTROL - WITH FOUR EASY CERAMIC PROGRAMS
|
|
- The DynaTrol with "Dynamic Zone Control" replaces manual switches
and the Dawson kiln sitter/timer. .
- Operation of the kiln, including zone control for even firing, is completely automated.
- There are four easy-to-use "Easy-Fire" ceramic programs.
- There are six user defined programs for more sophisticated firing.
|
 |
|
| .. |
|
|
|
|
|
DYNAMIC ZONE CONTROL FOR EVEN FIRING
|
|
|
- Dynamic Zone Control automatically controls a top, middle and bottom zone for accuracy better than 1/2 cone top to bottom.
- L&L does not charge extra for this great feature - others do.
|
|
| .. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
Manual Jupiters Feature...
|
|
MULTI-ZONE CONTROL WITH INFINITE ZONE SWITCHES
|
|
- Infinitely variable input switches (one for each section) adjust thermal gradients to prevent uneven heating. These control the power contactors.
- They are more adjustible than simple High-Medium-Low type switches.
- Switches have an off position.
|
 |
|
| .. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
DAWSON KILN SITTER/TIMER
|
|
- A Dawson LT3 (with back-up safety timer) shuts kiln off.
- The Dawson is mounted several inches away from kiln case (with air in between) in its own separate panel box to keep it cool and improve the contactor life.

|
OPTIONAL POWER VENT-SURE KILN VENT
|
 |
|
|
- Safest Vent Made - fumes are under vacuum

OPTIONAL 480 VOLTS FOR J2900 (29" DIAM) KILNS
|
|
| .. |
|
|
|
|
|
OPTIONAL UNPOWERED 4-1/2" HIGH SECTIONS
|
|
|
- 4-1/2" high unheated sections are available for slightly increasing kiln height without adding power. These can adversely affect heat-up time, maximum temperature and temperature uniformity so we don't normally recommend them but we do make them available.
|

 |
|
|
- A few minor design changes make the Jupiter kilns easy to dismantle and reassemble to solve unusual loading problems such as firing high sculptures.
|
|
| .. |
|
|
|
|
|
OPTIONAL DAWSON KILN SITTER FOR BACK UP SAFETY
|
|
|
- A Dawson kiln sitter (without timer) may be optionally ordered as a back-up device for an additional $425.
- This will shut off the kiln in the event of a control malfunction.
|
