THE CUB-FUSER
The Cub-fuser is not only the largest kiln available anywhere on a plug top but it is also one of the most efficient.
The Cub-fuser utilises Kilncare 2022 GX insulation system and will complete a standard full fuse using as little as 6kWh.
No other kiln can of this type can match those the credentials which is becoming more and more important in these modern times.
The Cub-fuser is here to take its place as, what we believe to be, the largest 13 amp glass kiln in the world that will follow the recommended firing schedules of the major art glass suppliers.
This is done by combining ultra high tech materials with superior design methods.
​
The Cub-fuser has all of the features that have become expected from the "fuser" family and is basically a reduced width Pro-fuser. This allows customers with limited space, but larger requirements than the Hobbyfuser can supply, to fulfill their artistic potential.
​
Take a look at how the Cub-fuser compares with the Hobbyfuser and Pro-fuser as described by one of our UK agents, Warm Glass UK.
Note. The Hobbyfuser Drop-out is a Warm Glass exclusive kiln.

​
The KCR32C is multi-program controller designed for glass, ceramics & pottery use. It is targeted towards glass use with 32 programs each of up to 32 segments. Each segment is a controlled heating/cooling ramp followed by a soak. It is supplied pre-programmed with 9 typical glass programs and 9 typical ceramics programs (which can be over-written).
The slow rate capability of the KCR32C, down to 1c per hour, makes it the perfect controller for complicated glass cycles.

KCR32C WIFI Controller (Optional)
​
The KCR32CWIFi is internally the same as the KCR32C but has the capability to be accessed
and controlled remotely from your mobile device.
This is one of the most important advances in Kilncare kilns for many years.
Using Kilncares GATEway access site you can view how your kiln is running in real time. Stop the
firing or adjust programs all without even being in the same country let alone the same room.
The KCR32WIFI is also fitted with a USB port that allows programs to be entered that way direct from PC if required and also allows us to apply updates and run diagnostics without travelling to your kiln.
Internet access to view real time status and access data
​
The optional KCR32C WIFI allows the user to access the kiln in real time from anywhere with internet access via the Kilncare GATEway on our website. The benefits of this are obvious as there is no longer the need to travel to the studio or work place to see how the firing is proceeding or if indeed the firing is going as planned.
Also in the GATEway, which is unique to each user via password access, there is a firings library where past firings can be stored and named, a notes section and a log amongst other features.
​
13A Plug-in Supply
The Cub-Fuser comes with a standard 13A plug and lead, allowing for you to simply plug it into the wall and get firing without having to worry about getting the kiln hardwired in! This also makes relocation a lot easier as you will just need to make sure that wherever it is going to has a socket.
Flat loading floor
​
The floor is flat with the entirety of the height of the kiln being in the chamber, which lifts out of the way when loading.
This type of floor is preferred by many glass artists.
The floor is low density, high insulation refractory bricks as well as non-ceramic fiber and "super" backing insulation. The kiln also comes with the internal shelf kit as standard which will be placed onto it if desired or the glass can be fired directly onto the floor of the kiln providing a separator is used to protect the bricks.
Quartz Element Heating System
​
The heating system is in the roof only and utilises the latest technology "infra-red" quartz tube heating elements. This method is extremely hard wearing and strong, yet in the event of an element failure the tubes are both easy and cheap to replace.
The elements are switched off when the lid is opened by an automatic safety switch.
​
Fibre Lid
​
The kiln lid is made from stainless steel and lined out with non-ceramic fibre, This method of insulation removes the danger of brick dust or particles dropping onto the glass, so making for a very clean firing environment. It also makes the Cub-Fuser incredibly resistant to shock damage.
The capability of the Cub-Fuser is due to the "super" backing insulation that makes the kiln ultra efficient and allows such a large capacity to be fired using so little power.
Fast Response Thermocouple.
​
The KCR32C gets its data from an ultra-fast response, stainless steel thermocouple meaning no lag between the kiln temperature and the KCR32Cs control.
The fact that the thermocouple is stainless steel means it is also resilient to accidental damage.
Angled Vent hole.
​
The front of the kiln has a large vent/peep hole which is closed using a spring assisted flap which houses our unique, anti-dust insulation pad which is taken from our larger fusing kiln models.
The vent/peep hole is angled so that the floor of the kiln and more importantly, your glass, can be seen.
​Stainless Steel chamber and base
​
Following the trend of the rest of the Fuser range, the Cub-Fuser's chamber and base are stainless steel. This provides the kiln with a strong, resilient body that will be able to face the heat for much longer without the integrity of the metal becoming compromised due to rust.
​​
Twin Gas Spring Lid Assist
​
Lifting the lid on the Cub-fuser is aided by a pair of specially designed gas springs that allow opening and closing of lid to be a single finger operation.
This makes the kiln completely user friendly but also helps in prolonged life due to the reduction of shock through "heavy" opening and closing of the lid.

Optional Cub-Fuser Stand
The Cub-fuser stand has two shelves, one for the kiln to sit on and one for your own use. It raises the kiln by 650mm to a comfortable height.
It is made of steel and is powder coated in our Ultra-marine blue.
The stand is supplied ready for assembly.
A further option for the Cub-fuser stand is locking, swiveling wheels.
The wheels are pre-fitted at our factory but the stand is still sent out ready for assembly.
Suitable for both Cub-Fuser and Cub-Fuser-D
Optional Wi-Fi capability
​
The optional KCR32C WIFI allows the user to access the kiln in real time from anywhere with internet access via the Kilncare GATEway on our website.
