GTS 23
Born in the days of the warm glass revolution the GTS 23 is the original studio kiln. Its perfect studio size, easy-to-load shelf and reliable performance were unmatched. That tradition continues to this day. Built entirely of firebrick the GTS 23 holds true to the original design while updating controls, features and performance. The GTS 23 can be ordered with our TAP II, Icon+, Icon touchscreen controls and is standard equipped with our exclusive Swing View Adjustable Viewing. Order yours with our Quiet Drive Solid State relay option for tight temperature control and longer element life.
Features:
Top Load
The GTS 23 is a top loading design and offers a chamber 23.5" diameter 13.5" deep. Load depth is about 32" which is at waist height or lower. The 21" shelf is very manageable.
All Firebrick Design
As with the original design the GTS 23 is constructed completely of firebrick. Firebrick is desired in a glass kiln as it stores heat in the beginning of the firing which acts to smooth out temperature swings. It then releases heat slowly at the completion of the firing resulting in very calm annealing, especially over an annealing range. It's just beautiful. As with any glass kiln, you want a portion of firebrick in the mix.
Swing View Equipped
GTS 23 temperature controls are fitted to our Swing View Adjustable Enclosure. The swing view is a pivoting, swing-up enclosure that allows you to rotate the control to a comfortable viewing and programming angle. Once you're done, lay it back down to see it from across your studio. It's that simple. The swing view pairs well with touchscreen controls like the TAP II, Icon+ and Icon as viewing angle can be perfectly aligned. You'll love it.
Perfect Controller Location
Our TAP and Icon+ controls are positioned front-and-center at body level. Just walk up and enjoy. Absolutely perfect. Control location was the top priority for the Studio Pro design and we're pleased to offer it.
Swing View Equipped
Studio Pro 17 temperature controls are fitted to our Swing View Adjustable Enclosure. The swing view is a pivoting, swing-up enclosure that allows you to rotate the control to a comfortable viewing and programming angle. Once you're done, lay it back down to see it from across your studio. It's that simple. The swing view pairs well with touchscreen controls like the TAP II, Icon+ and Icon as viewing angle can be perfectly aligned. You'll love it..
Fiber & Firebrick Design
The Studio Pro 17 is constructed of both fiber and firebrick. Fiber is used in the lid to speed up the firing process to avoid devitrification and provide for a lighter weight lid. Firebrick is used in both the walls and floor and provides excellent heat-storage properties which helps smooth out temperature swings and is awesome for annealing. By its nature, firebrick cleans up the temperature fluctuations that "all-fiber" kilns experience. You want a portion of firebrick in your glass kiln and the Studio Pro 17 delivers.
Relay Access Port
The GTS 23 incorporates our Relay Access Port for simple, no-panel-off relay replacement. Simply remove the access plate to gain access to the mechanical relays. There's no need to remove the control panel and dig into the internal wiring. It's absolutely simple and effective and all it takes is a screwdriver! It's a given that mechanical relays will fail at some point. This relay access port really comes in handy when they do.
2 Position Lid Vent
The GTS 23 is equipped with a 2 position lid vent. The lower vent position props the lid by about an inch. Perfect for venting off adhesives and other low temperature binding materials. The upper vent position props the lid by about 4 inches. Perfect for speeding up the cooling process.
Maintenance Parts Tag
To assist you in replacing worn items we have included a maintenance parts tag on the GTS 23 indicating the proper Evenheat part numbers for anticipated maintenance items.
Controller Options:
Icon Touchscreen Controller
The Icon is built around Bartlett's new Spark platform and brings touchscreen design to the market at a lower price point. The Icon / Spark was rigorously field-tested by Bartlett, Evenheat and others over the latter course of 2023. Programming was found to be clean and simple. User interaction with the display was deemed excellent.
Icon+ Touchscreen Controller
The Icon+ starts with Bartlett's well-regarded Genesis platform and adds low-error Special Limits thermocouples for incredible precision. We also fit the Icon+ with a non-metallic faceplate for exceptional Wi-Fi reception for the Bartlett mobile App. These added features take the Icon+/Genesis to a performance level found nowhere else. Programming and use is easy and straight-forward. Performance is legendary and shines even brighter when paired with our Quiet Drive Solid State relay system. The Icon+ represents the ultimate combination of Bartlett control prowess and Evenheat design to offer the highest performing Genesis based control available.
Tap II
The TAP II with its large screen, well laid out format and incredible mobile App is our most popular temperature controller. Firing schedule creation and use are simply simple. The science behind the screen delivers accurate and consistent results especially when matched with our Quiet Drive Solid State relay system. The TAP II is fitted with low-error Special Limits thermocouples for extremely accurate temperature control as well as our non-metallic faceplates offering excellent Wi-Fi reception. Get the TAP, get the highest rated kiln control mobile App and get going.
