THE EURO-FUSER
The Euro-fuser is a more than worthy member of the "fuser" family and joins the Hobbyfuser, Cub-fuser, Cub-fuser-D, Pro-fuser, Pro-fuser-D, Deluxe-fuser, Elite-fuser and Grand-fuser.
The "fuser" family kilns all sit at the pinnacle of their respective market sector in build quality, performance and reliability and the Elite-fuser does the same in its own sector. Two of the main features separating the Elite-Fuser from the rest of the fuser family are it's optional automatic roof vents, which will open and close at your pre-set demand, and the standard Wi-Fi enabled controller.
​
The Euro-fuser had almost 2 years of on-site testing before being released, it is now approaching two decades of faultless service.

Controller included KCR32C (KCR32C WIFI optional)
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 (included as standard for Euro-Fuser)
​
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 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.
​
Recessed floor bricks
​
The floor of the Euro-fuser is made from high grade, lightweight insulation bricks that give both a structurally steady surface to place the work on and a thermally steady base to aid in maximum glass results.
As the bricks are not cemented in, they are easily replaced if required
The Elite-fuser floor is recessed by 40mm.
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.
The elements are wound with Kanthal A1, renowned as the worlds best element wire.
Non-ceramic Lid
​
The boards that make up the chamber are specially produced for us and are pre-fired to 1100c before inserted into the kiln to remove any shrinkage or warping that could otherwise happen. The roof of the lid is made of non-ceramic fiber, a very efficient insulator. 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 Elite-Fuser incredibly resistant to shock damage.
​
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 holes
​
On the front and side of the kiln are three large vent/peep holes which are closed using spring assisted flaps which house our unique, anti-dust insulation pads which are taken from our larger fusing kiln models.
The vent/peep holes are angled so that the floor of the kiln and more importantly, your glass, can be seen.
​Ability to split for narrow access
​
The Euro-fuser can be split into 3 parts upon delivery: the base, chamber, and lid. This allows for the kiln to be taken through tighter spaces than otherwise possible, no need for double doorways!​
Gas Spring Lid Assist
​
Lifting the lid on the Euro-fuser is aided by two specially designed gas springs that allows opening and closing of lid to be a very easy and light 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.
Stainless steel slatted roof
The breathing stainless steel slatted roof is truly unique to Kilncare and allows for the kiln to cool much easier.
Optional Inner Shelf Kit
Along with the purchase of the Euro-Fuser, there is also the optional extra shelf kit which includes two 47.5 x 74cm ceramic shelves, along with 10x 1inch posts.
Wi-Fi capability
​
The KCR32C WIFI controller 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.
