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. Standard kiln shelves and shelf posts can be used in conjunction with Advancer® - no specialised kiln furniture is required.
Light weight and low mass offer several advantages over traditional shelves.
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.
Glaze runs do not affect the surface integrity of Advancer shelves.
Even without kiln wash glaze does not permanently stick to Advancer® and affected pots simply lift straight off after firing, rather than fusing to the shelf. Using Advancer® there is no need to angle grind glaze runs off shelves - the GlazeEraser® removes any type of glaze within seconds. The smooth flat surface of Advancer® is not compromised by glaze removal.
KilnShelf.com advanced NSiC shelves never warp and they have an indefinite service life.
The initial investment for Advancer® shelves is significantly higher than conventional alternatives, however there is a substantial gain on investment when immediate energy & productivity savings are considered alongside the indefinite service life.
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.
