KM-1218-3 240V 1P with APM

Description

Description Specifications Videos Diagrams Warranty Skutt KM-1218-3, 240-volt, 1-phase, APM elements.

Skutts KM-1218-3 features a low, wide design that makes it easy to load and popular with schools — in fact, this is our showrooms most popular Skutt model. The standard KilnMaster controller gives you the options of Cone Firing, or programming your own 8-segment Ramp/Hold firing programs. Traditional Skutt stainless steel (including a Lid Lifter) and firebrick construction (featuring 3 thick walls for firing efficiency) results in a kiln that will last for years of constant use. For maintenance convenience, the KM-1218-3 is equipped with a current sensor that allows remote technicians to troubleshoot your kiln right over the phone. The Skutt KM-1218-3 also features balanced elements. The top and bottom of the kiln lose heat faster than the center, so Skutt puts hotter elements (more power) in those areas.

Options for Customization:
The Skutt KM-1218-3 comes with a few options for customization. First, select the correct voltage and phasing from the drop-down menu above; if you are unsure of your spaces wiring, please check with an electrician. Next, you may select to order your kiln with the suggested furniture kit which includes six 5/8″ half-shelves, and six each of 1″through 6″ posts. For frequent higher temperature firing, we suggest 1″ shelves, available here. You may also add a vent system which is recommended for closed-air spaces. You can also upgrade to the new Touchscreen controller which makes operation as easy as using a smartphone. Finally, you may choose to upgrade your kiln to support APM elements, which is a good choice if you plan to high-fire your kiln multiple times per week.

This model differs from the Skutt KM-1227-3 (notice, no PK) in firing range – the non-PK version reaches cone 5-8 depending on voltage, so if you know you will need this kiln to go to cone 10, we recommend this PK version.

For maintenance convenience, every kiln of the KM Skutt Series is equipped with a current sensor that allows remote technicians to troubleshoot your kiln right over the phone. It can also check the board temperature, LED readout and a host of other useful troubleshooting data. The Skutt KM-1218-3PK also features balanced elements. The top and bottom of the kiln lose heat faster than the center so Skutt puts hotter elements (more power) in those areas. The Skutt KM-1218-3PK comes standard with 3″ kiln brick.
