What Every Potter Will Need Specialist Temperature Measurement and Control Services provide a thorough and professional service. Chances are they've seen experience across a wide range of industries, including the aerospace and automotive industries, water treatment and no end of other wild and wonderful jobs, so there's little that can phase them.
These companies can also help if your kiln needs a spare part. They stock an extensive selection of components from transmitters, sensors and thyristors to indicators, thermal imagers and kiln controllers and programmers.
There are a wide range of
kiln controllers available to suit all kilns, if you enjoy pottery as a hobby or sideline then the most suitable of the kiln controllers is the ST 3300/1 which is the most basic and cost effective model. These kiln controllers have a single program, delay and 2 ramps and dwells. For those running a small pottery studio the next model up, ST 3300/2, would be more suited. These kiln controllers benefit from 10 programs, delay and 4 ramps and dwells. The 10 program, 16 ramp and dwell ST 3300/3 model is ideal for firing, fusing and slumping glass and the ST 3300/4 has all the features of the ST 3300/3 as well as an event function for programmed or manual control of a damper. These kiln controllers are most suited for commercial uses.
For the much larger or industrial oven or kiln, where the load is separated into zones, the ST 3300/5 is the best model. An additional policeman controller which ensures the added protection of your kiln.
These companies can conduct the calibration and servicing of your ovenZequipment on site or in the company laboratory. The calibration is carried out on indicators, kiln controllers, recorders and other instruments using electrical simulation. Kilns are obviously rather heavy things to be carting about, so the company can also arrange to pick up and return your equipment. Pretty good service, if you ask me.
For larger kilns and larger problems you can take full advantage of the breakdown and repair service where an engineer will come to your workplace and repair the kiln or oven on site. A survey of your kiln is a good pre-emptive strategy, allowing you to catch any minor faults before they become bigger and more costly.
If there is a part you require for your kiln that is no longer manufactured then, the chances are, a good industrial
temperature services company will still be able to find it for you in ex stock or, failing that, will configure or manufacture the item needed themselves to suit your precise requirements.
