Kiln Accessories

Shimpo understands that you desire the best kiln available for your current needs without limiting future requirements. We therefore offer a variety of Shimpo kiln options and accessories to match your needs.

 
V6-CF Bartlett Controller
We proudly offer the V6-CF Bartlett kiln controller as an option for our Shimpo kilns. The V6-CF controller is the ultimate in user-friendly operation: firing is underway with as few as 6 key presses! Create up to six 8-step user programs. Additional features include delay start, alarm, cone adjustments, thermocouple adjustments, F or C operation, 16 segment program and skip step. Two year warranty. Advanced optional features include 3-zone control and "KISS" (kiln interface software system) for remote programming and data collection from a personal computer.
 
Orton Kiln Vent
Vents fresh air through the kiln, improving glaze color and eliminating corrosive fumes that can damage kiln elements and be potentially harmful to health. Easy to install; may also be ordered factory installed for convenience. Two year warranty.
 
Dawson Kiln SitterŪ
Automatically shuts off the kiln when a pyrometric cone reaches maturity - perfect for manual kilns or as a safety feature on an automatic kiln. Also available with a timer as a safety backup. Two year warranty.
 
Shimpo Counter Balance System
Prevent back strain! Our counter balance allows even the heaviest kiln lid to be opened with minimal effort. Constructed of steel and aluminum, the counter balance is designed so that the weight sits on the ground, eliminating kiln distortion. Two year warranty. (Now included with 42" oval kilns)
Shimpo Pyrometer
Provides an indication of the temperature within the kiln chamber. Includes a double scale meter calibrated to 2500°F (1350°C), a mounting bracket, thermocouple and extension wire. Two year warranty.
 
Blank Ring
If additional chamber space is desired, a factory installed blank ring will increase kiln height by 4-1/2". Two year warranty. NOTE: The addition of a blank ring will reduce the kiln's maximum cone rating by approximately two cones.
 
Kiln Furniture
Constructed with high alumina, our shelves and posts are extremely durable and withstand Cone 10 oxidation or reduction atmospheres. Available separately or in kits.
