..

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.
    ..

    PILOT LIGHTS FOR EACH ZONE

    ..

    OPTIONAL TRU-VIEW PYROMETER SYSTEM

  • Adjust your zones intelligently on a manual kiln.
  • ..

    More Options to customize your Jupiter Kiln...

    OPTIONAL POWER VENT-SURE KILN VENT

    • Safest Vent Made - fumes are under vacuum
    • Strongest Vent Made - you can vent two kilns
    • Most Durable Vent Made - the motor is away from the heat
    ..

    OPTIONAL POWERED BOTTOMS

    ..

    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.
    ..

    OPTIONAL POWERED SECTIONS

    ..

    OPTIONAL "PULL APART" KILN

    • 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.
    ..

    OPTIONAL 120 VOLT CONTROL POWER WITH NOISE FILTER

    • This option is for people with unstable power grids.
    ..
