Advancer® for electric kilns

Save Kiln Space. Save Energy. Save Money & Time.

ADVANCER® kiln shelves are available in square, rectangle, round, 8, 10 and 12-sided shapes to fit most top and front loading electric kilns.

Light weight and low mass offer several advantages over traditional shelves.

While a 1” thick cordierite shelf has been the standard choice for electric kiln firings to cone 6 and above, it also consumes a lot of energy and stacking space. 

Advancer® lower mass and faster heat transfer (greater thermal conductivity) means shorter firing cycles and reduced energy consumption allowing potters to improve productivity and save money.

Advancer® provide superior ergonomics when lifting in and out of top and front loading kilns due to their lighter weight and smooth surfaces.

The smooth flat surface of Advancer® is not compromised by glaze removal.

KilnShelf.com advanced NSiC shelves never warp.

Advancer® are the only silicon carbide shelves tested and recommended for use in resistance coil element kilns.

The initial investment for Advancer® shelves is significantly higher than alternatives for electric applications however there is a substantial gain on investment when energy and productivity savings are considered.

As with any type of powered equipment, observing common sense rules, precautions and maintenance recommendations will eliminate potential hazards. For instance, advanced NSiC shelves should not be used in kilns that are in poor repair with unpinned elements protruding out of their grooves, and an operator should never reach into an electric kiln unless the power is turned off.
