The TG9F and TG9 MK II/F share the same high specification which include:

  • Maximum design temperature 1300°C
  • Fixed gradient
  • 9 samples fired at one time
  • 20/25°C between each reference point
  • TCS1 Microtech programme controller
  • Stove enamel paint finish
  • Bench mounting

Individual Chamber Gradient Furnaces

 
   

In keeping with today's technological advances the TG variable gradient kilns add another dimension to ceramic trial firing. These kilns allow each chamber to be programmed to different top temperatures whilst maintaining the pre-programmed firing curve giving total flexibility and outstanding results.

 
  TG9 Mk III/TG6 XL imcExpander

The variable gradient kilns are available in two maximum design temperatures, 1300ºC and 1400ºC, ideal for trials with high-fire porcelain bodies.

Both kilns incorporate the following features:

  • Bench mounting
  • Each chamber has its own dedicated thermocouple and control relay
  • High grade kanthal spiral-wound elements
  • Firings managed by the unique TCM2 microprocessor

Optional Equipment

  • Hardware/Software for data logging (Windows XP)
  • Stand
  • Chart recorder
