THE ECO-FUSER

The ECO-fuser is our most economical glass kiln to date.
The ECO-fuser utilises Kilncare 2022 GX insulation system and will complete a standard full fuse using as little as 4kWh.
No other kiln can of this type can match those the credentials which is becoming more and more important in these modern times.

The ECO-fuser is designed to fulfil two requirements.

The first is to provide a plug-in kiln, with the same internal dimensions as the all-conquering Hobbyfuser, but with an easy load flat bed base.

The second is to provide ULTRA-efficient, low cost firing and by using GX insulation this is achieved.

The ECO-fuser will fire a standard fusing cycle on as little as 4 units of electricity without losing the performance features of the Hobbyfuser.

Although not the new ECO-fuser, Warm Glass have done a wonderfully informative video explaining details on the ECO-fusers siblings.

Note. The Hobbyfuser Drop-out mentioned on the video 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 Controller features:

32 programs - each with up to 32 segments.
Each segment is a controlled heating/cooling ramp soak.
Suitable for glass or ceramics use.
Soak times up to nearly 100 hours.
Ramp rates from 1 to 999°C/hour full.
Program Pause & Segment Advance facilities.
Can be held remotely, allowing for an easy and comfortable programming process.

Keyboard lockable.
Delayed start facility - up to 4 days.
Power failure recovery.
Energy used display.
Event / Damper / Fan relay output.
Alarm relay with alarm buzzer.
Mains power switch.
Built in the United Kingdom.

KCR32C WIFI Controller (Optional). GATEway app and internet access included.

The KCR32CWIFi is internally the same as the KCR32C but has the capability to be accessed

and controlled remotely from your mobile device via the Kilncare GATEway app or your pc/MAC.
The GATEway app for your mobile device is available for Android and Apple.

This is one of the most important advances in Kilncare kilns for many years.

Using GATEway 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.

App and 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 the Kilncare GATEway app or via pc 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 ECO-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 of the ECO-fuser differs from the Hobbyfuser and brings "ECO" in line with it's big brother the Cub-fuser.

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 and can have the internal shelf kit 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 ECO-fuser incredibly resistant to shock damage.

The capability of the ECO-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 ECO-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 ECO-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 ECO-Fuser Stand

The ECO-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 ECO-fuser stand is locking, swiveling wheels.

The wheels are pre-fitted at our factory, but the stand is still sent out ready for assembly.

Optional Inner Shelf Kit

Along with the purchase of the ECO-Fuser, there is also the optional extra shelf kit which includes a 38cmx38cm ceramic shelf, along with 4x 1inch posts.

Optional GATEway app and Wi-Fi capability

The optional KCR32C WIFI allows the user to access the kiln in real time from anywhere through the GATEway mobile device app for Android or Apple, or 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.

4 Year Warranty

The ECO-Fuser comes with a HUGE 4 year warranty that applies for all parts (inc elements)! The fact that we are able to offer such a long warranty on these kilns just goes to show how well made they are and how they are truly built to last.
