Cromartie has long been the established market leader within the European kiln market with over 60 years kiln building experience. In order to better serve the ever changing demand, especially for cost economy, we have pooled resources with Skutt Kilns USA. Skutt are the leading American kiln manufacturer and the kiln most often chosen for the Paint-A-Pot/Ceramic Café businesses. With over 50 years experience in the top loading kiln market Skutt offer a tried and tested product.

Together we have designed a kiln that fully complies with the stringent European requirements for Health & Safety. Interlocked lid safety switches are incorporated and the controller has over-temperature safety devices and error diagnostics for peace-of-mind firings.

This is the perfect kiln for the fast firing Ceramic Café market and for people who prefer the top loading format.

Fast Firing

This kiln is at its best in situations where fast firing is required, particularly in the Ceramic Café/Paint-a-Pot market where a quick turnaround is required. The six side bungs can be removed after firing to increase the rate of cooling.

Modular Construction

Skutt kilns are built in a modular construction of three rings. Where access is difficult it is possible to take the rings apart and detach the lid. This should always be done by a competent person with advice from Cromartie as electrical connections are involved.

Economical

The Skutt takes advantage of the economies of scale in the large American market where the majority of ceramic cafes use this kiln. The price of the kiln is surprisingly low and extremely competitive for a kiln of this quality. Firing costs are also kept down by efficient ratio of heating elements to insulation making this an extremely economical kiln for busy enterprises. We anticipate a firing cost of around £3.60 for a low temperature earthenware firing for example Duncan and Gare glazes.

Program Controller

The KilnMaster controller has a “cone mode” firing which is very easy to use for straightforward firings and is operated by a simple press of a button. It can also be operated in user-programmed mode for more sophisticated firings. The six programs can easily be programmed for multi-ramp firings including glass slumping and fusing.
