Introducing the IKON!
Built in the heart of The Potteries, the IKON has Ceramics running through its veins. The IKON has unbeatable performance, reliability and heritage and that is what makes it the PREMIUM kiln.
Machined lid insert of three section seal.
The IKON has a unique three section lid seal that massively improves heat retention. The first section is a machined insert in the brick lid that puts a brake on the heat before it reaches the second section, a traditional brick on brick contact which is what the majority of top loaders rely on as their only seal. Section three is an outer anti-draught rope lining around the outside of the chamber that traps in any remaining heat that makes it through the first two sections of the seal.

Strong skeleton sub frame.
The IKON is ultra strong due to the skeleton sub frame that the chamber sits on. A common issue with top loaders is the pressure and movement that is generated as the lid is open and closed and ultimately this will add strains to the chamber that can cause damage.
The skeleton sub frame effectively leaves the chamber free to sit there and simply do its planned job of heating the ware inside whilst the skeleton does all of the physical work.

Twin gas spring lid lifts.
The lid of the IKON is lifted with a gas spring on either side so that the pressure of lifting the lid is even across it and so vastly reducing twist and cross pressure on the brickwork. As mentioned previously, this is helped by the skeleton sub frame.
Twin gas springs ensure that the lid weight is counteracted to such a degree that even if the lid is accidentally knocked whilst in the vertical position, its decent will be controlled and not reult in brickwork damage.

Chamber exhaust shutter.
Whilst chamber exhausts are common place on top loaders, the IKON is unique as it has a shutter that can vary the effectiveness of the exhaust, which is also larger than most, as well as close it all together when the efficiency of the kiln is most needed. This increases the efficiency of the kiln as it retains its heat when it most needs it.

Low level cool power panel.
The electrical camponents of the kiln are mounted at the rear of the kiln at low level. The mounting panel is highly ventillated and there is also an air space between the panel and the kiln chamber.
The ensures that the electrical components of the kiln are kept at minimum temperature which in turn vastly extends the life span of the components.
Inside this panel is the Solid State Relay which enables the kiln to have optimum control and due to there being no moving components in the Solid State Relay, there is no wear so ensuring maximum reliablity. No moving parts also means that the kiln is near silent in operation apart from the traditional buzz of the elements.

Lockable swivel castors
The kiln sits on heavy duty castors. Two fixed wheel at the rear and two lockable and swivel castors at the front.
