Vcella Kilns™
These kilns come with a kiln shelf. All Vcella Kilns™ are 2300°F maximum temperature, and may be used for any media. The Vcella Kilns™ come with a single set point automatic temperature control, pyrometer and a kiln shelf. Programmable multi-point solid state electronic temperature control units are available for all Vcella Kilns™.
These are dropped shipped from the manufacturer. They ship by motor freight and shipping charges depend on distance and whether they are being delivered to a loading dock or not. Shipping to a facility with a loading dock is cheaper. Shipping to a facility without a loading dock is a minimum of $100.
A multi set point controller is available separately and can be installed on your kiln prior to being shipped.
Multi-point Controller $243.00 - Not sure of the new price on this!
