{"product_id":"evenheat-gts-28-glass-kiln","title":"Evenheat GTS 28 Glass Kiln","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe GTS 28 is our largest square-shaped top-loading glass kiln and combines the speed of fiber and the annealing properties of firebrick to create the finest large studio kiln available.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe firing chamber is sized to fit our 24\" X 24\" easy to handle shelf. The lid is constructed of fiber for speed and light weight. The chamber is constructed of firebrick that results in a smooth heat up and beautiful annealing. Exterior lines are attractive with a feel that fits your style.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe GTS 28 is designed for glass fusing, slumping, draping casting and any other glass work up to 1800°F.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe GTS 28 is standard equipped with our Quiet Drive Solid State Relays and pairs well with our TAP II control for the ultimate in ease-of-use, reliability and performance.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eForm meets function as the GTS 28 fits your glass, your studio and your style.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFeatures\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003ch4\u003eFiber Lid\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe lid of the GTS 28 is constructed of a fiber material that provides excellent thermal properties along with light weight. This design allows the heating elements to be positioned on the surface for maximum heat transfer and firing efficiency.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe fiber chosen for the lid is an extremely low-shot material. The surface is then covered with a no-shot fiber sheet. These two materials combine to create a lighter weight lid while severely limiting debris from the lid falling onto the glass. Very nice.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTop Load\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe GTS 28 is a top loading design and offers a chamber 28\" wide x 28\" long x 13.5\" deep. The rim of the chamber is 32\" off the floor which is at waist height or lower making it very easy to load and position your glass.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eFiber and Firebrick Design\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe GTS 28 is constructed of both fiber and firebrick.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe entire lid of the GTS 28 is constructed of fiber to reduce the overall weight of the lid as well as severely limiting lid debris.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe walls and floor are made of firebrick which is desired in a glass kiln as it stores heat in the beginning of the firing which acts to smooth out temperature swings. It then releases heat slowly at the completion of the firing resulting in very effective annealing. It's just beautiful.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe GTS 28, like the related Studio Pro models, artfully combines two great materials to produce one of the best glass kiln designs out there.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eSwing View Equipped\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eGTS 28 temperature controls are fitted to our Swing View Adjustable Enclosure.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe swing view is a pivoting, swing-up enclosure that allows you to rotate the control to a comfortable viewing and programming angle. Once you're done, lay it back down to see it from across your studio. It's that simple.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe swing view pairs well with touchscreen controls like the TAP II as viewing angle can be perfectly aligned. You'll love it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eQuiet Drive Solid State Relays\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eGTS 28 models are standard equipped with our Quiet Drive Solid State Relays.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOur Quiet Drive Solid State Relay System offers tight temperature control, high reliability and increased heating element life. The Quiet Drive is arguably the best designed and best performing solid state system on the market.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003e2 Position Lid Vent\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe GTS 28 is equipped with a 2 position lid vent.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe lower vent position props the lid by about an inch. Perfect for venting off adhesives and other low temperature binding materials.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe upper vent position props the lid by about 4 inches. Perfect for speeding up the cooling process.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eRelay Access Port\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe GTS 28 incorporates our Relay Access Port for simple, no-panel-off relay replacement.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSimply remove the access plate to gain access to the mechanical relays. There's no need to remove the control panel and dig into the internal wiring. It's absolutely simple and effective and all it takes is a screwdriver!\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt's a given that mechanical relays will fail at some point. This relay access port really comes in handy when they do.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eMaintenance Parts Tag\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eTo assist you in replacing worn items we have included a maintenance parts tag on the GTS 28 indicating the proper Evenheat part numbers for anticipated maintenance items.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWish we had this decades ago.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003ePower Interrupt Switch\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe GTS 28 is standard equipped with a power interrupt switch which removes electrical power from all heating elements if the lid is opened.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is important for those who may access the kiln during firing such as glass manipulation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eBuild options\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003ch4\u003eMultiple Control Options\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe GTS 28 is available in a variety of controls including the Icon, Icon+, Tap II and Rampmaster 3.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAt Evenheat we take the best control platforms on the market and make them even better by adding Special Limits thermocouples for precise temperature sensing and non-metallic faceplates for stellar Wi-Fi reception for on-line Apps.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eRolling Option\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe GTS 28 is easily made mobile with our rolling option.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe GTS 28 base is equipped to accept our casters. No frame or extra hardware required. Simply attach the casters to the standard base and you're ready to go!\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCasters are not factory installed. You will install them when you first set up your kiln. It's designed to be easy and it is. They can always be added later as well.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eVoltage Options\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eOur default production for the GTS 28 is 240V, Single Phase.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWe do offer to build in 200V, 208V, 220V and 230V by request.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAll controls available on the GTS 28 will operate properly on both 50Hz and 60Hz line frequencies. To say it another way, line frequency has no effect. It doesn't matter.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEvenheat recommends that you check your operating voltage before ordering or placing the kiln in service.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eVoltage Phase Options\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe GTS 28 is available in 3 phase Delta and Wye (380V, 400V and 415V) designs by request.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eChamber Dimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 28\" L x 28\" W x 13.5\" D - 5.8 Cubic Feet\u003cbr\u003e(71cm L x 71cm W x 34.3cm D - 165L)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOutside Dimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 40\" L x 40\" W x 37\" H\u003cbr\u003e(102cm D x 102cm W x 94cm H)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaximum Use Temperature:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1800°F (982°C)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStandard Electrical:\u003c\/strong\u003e 240 Volts, 40 Amps, 9600 Watts, 50\/60Hz, Single Phase\u003cbr\u003ePower Cord Plug Configuration - NEMA 6-50\u003cbr\u003eAvailable in 200V, 208V, 220V and 230V by request\u003cbr\u003eAvailable in 3 phase Delta and Wye (380V, 400V, 415V) by request\u003cbr\u003eOperates properly on both 50Hz and 60Hz\u003cbr\u003eConsult with an electrician for proper fuse panel, service wire size, receptacle, and fusing requirements.
