In the early 1990’s a true lamp working kiln (now known as the 9169GS) hit the flame work glass scene with the help of several well known artists that assisted with creative suggestions and extensive testing. While others quickly took notice and attempted to mimic the design, Aim was the first kiln manufacturer to introduce a piece of equipment that allowed for garaging of multi-sectional vessels with the use of smaller accessible doors before the final annealing process. Also referred to as bead doors or “doggy” doors, making it possible to reheat a vessel to maintain core heat and minimize stress to the vessel. Over three decades later and the demand for quality equipment has continued to evolve. We listened to the feedback and replaced the tried and trued 9169GS with the latest version now known as the P-91. While the revised version offers the same internal dimensions as it’s predecessor and similar aesthetic appearance, today’s artist with an eye for detail will see that we’ve raised the bar again. No more “off the shelf” parts in our product, everything is laser cut in house to maintain precision and consistency and give it a very refined overall look. With an unrivaled level of technology, dependability, high level performance, multiple options to upgrade or customize, and the best electrical warranty in the industry, we’ve separated ourselves from the competition. Designed by glass workers for glass workers.
Features:
- All new main door design incorporating five individual fully adjustable doors that offer a variety of versatility and options to make accessibility simple and highly functional.
- 10 degree angle in the main chamber face that helps produce even heat throughout the interior chamber. This angled chamber cut also provides even wear and a tight door seal on every unit.
- 304 stainless steel used in the bead doors to handle temperature in high heat areas.
- Fully adjustable pressure assisted door design allowing all doors to firmly stay open or in any position. *patent pending*
- Our Profession Series kilns do NOT use any fiber board insulation in the lids, main doors, or bead doors as fiber board is an inadequate source of insulation and a major source of heat leakage and shrinkage when used as a sole insulator in annealing kilns.
-
Door gapping has been minimized to provide maximum efficiency, without sacrificing function.
- Perfectly balanced main door and counterweight with new compact counterweight design allowing this model to fit into tighter spaces in a studio or workshop. Full adjustability to offer the perfect tension when opening/ closing main door.
-
Precise heating element placement in the chamber in combination with the 10 degree chamber angle help focus heat near the lower front portion of the floor to focus the heat where you need it and keep your work stable while accessing lower doors.
-
Extremely quick heat up time in this model, taking approximately 20-25 minutes to reach 1000F+ in most cases.
- Well placed thermocouple providing extremely accurate temperature throughout the chamber.
-
Simple and precise electrical system making troubleshooting and offsite repairs much more simplified for customers.
-
Meticulous and unrivaled brick and mortar work in each and every lamp working kiln.
-
Detailed quality control process and 3-point inspection before product leaves our factory.
-
Each metal component or piece of hardware such as handles, hinges, arms, etc. is all custom designed and manufactured in house by Aim Manufacturing. No low quality off the shelf hardware parts used on our product which is one of the biggest differences that separates us from other manufacturers.
-
New slotting design in the lower frame and wire pan areas to allow for more airflow to keep electronic components much cooler to extend their lifespan.
-
This model is pre- fabricated and set up for accessories such as rod rests, upgraded relays, modified hinges, and other modifications than can be added at time of purchase or easily added later.
- High temperature primer, metallic stove paints, and high quality powder coatings used exclusively.
-
Wood or high temperature anabolic handles used to keep exterior handles cool to the touch while giving the kiln a pleasing aesthetic exterior appearance.
- We offer a wide range of programmable digital controllers that were actually designed for lamp working to meet your individual needs.
