L&L Davinci T3427-D

We love the DaVinci Series! L&L is a local company for The Ceramic Shop, and we love to support local business. Why should you choose an L&L kiln? The hallmark of the L&L kilns, what really sets them apart from other kilns, is the Dyna Glow Ceramic Element Holders. They protect your firebrick through years of Cone 6 and Cone 10 firings, promising better heat distribution inside the kiln, and ease in replacement of the elements when it becomes necessary. L&L Kilns are built to last and easy to maintain.

The Davinci series is L&L’s classic production kiln, and is great for Universities and high-volume high school programs. These kilns come standard with DynaTrol Dynamic Zone Control, counterbalanced lid, lid safety latches, and 3″ brick construction. All Davinci kilns fire to Cone 10 (2350F), and feature arched sides to allow for better air circulation.

Please note: 3-phase kilns must be direct wired and a power cord is not supplied

Genesis Touch Screen Control
The Genesis control includes a touch screen interface and WIFI connectivity added to the proven software of the DynaTrol. More programming options and memory. Free App available to monitor kiln via WiFi. Touch-screen intuitive technology for easy user interface. Easy-to-follow screen descriptions. Different user-interface levels, which can be set to match the user’s firing knowledge. Graphical display of the firing process right at the controller, this means you can graph the firing in real time and compare the program with actual results. Glass programs included. Store up to 12 custom user programs. Up to 32 segments per program. Ability to make adjustments during a firing such as add segments, add temperature, and skip segments. Built in diagnostics testing. Alarm. Error Codes. WiFi enabled for easy software updating. Included Phone App allows you to monitor kiln operation remotely.

Dynamic Zone Control
This is a standard feature with either a DynaTrol or touch-screen Genesis control. The control separately measures temperatures in the bottom, middle, and top of the kiln and automatically adjusts the heat of three zones during the firing. Kiln temperatures are automatically equalized to within 1/2 cone or better. Zone control automatically compensates for many loading issues and element resistance changes. Additionally, L&L kilns are fundamentally uniform because the element holders radiate the heat more evenly.

Additional Features

Genesis Touch Screen Control
The Genesis control includes a touchscreen interface and WIFI connectivity. The intuitive interface is easy to use and understand. A free phone app allows you to monitor your kiln remotely.

Automatic Zone Control
Zone control on an electric kiln gives you the utmost controllable temperature uniformity. The kiln control separately measures temperatures in the bottom, middle, and top of the ceramic kiln and automatically adjusts the heat output of three kiln zones during the entire glaze or bisque firing.

Floor-Standing Panel
The control panel on the DaVinci kilns is mounted on a stand that sits on the floor. This sits to the side of the kiln. The kiln sections plug into the control panel with 50 amp high temperature rated power cords. There is an air space between the kiln and the control panel which keeps the panel cool. This design allows you to unplug kiln sections so you can raise or lower the kiln to meet various needs. (Note there are some limitations and issues to be aware of when you do this. See this full description of the “sectional design”). The control panel is extremely easy to remove for servicing by the factory.

Mercury Free Contactors
Power Relays are mercury-free to comply with increasing regulations and concerns about mercury.

High-Powered Elements
High-powered elements come in small and large sizes. Small elements will fit any kiln in the DaVinci series and provide additional power on the bottom layer for low stacked kilns. High-powered large elements deliver the same effect, but are slightly larger to take better advantage of the dimensions of kilns designed after June 2004. These are used on XB and TB series kilns.

Hard Ceramic Element Holders
No pins to replace and damage your firebrick! Durability, repairability, better heat transfer. The smooth, hard surface of the inside ceramic channel allows the elements to expand and contract freely. The dense ceramic holders extend element life because they do not insulate the hot elements from the kiln interior.

Protected Heavy-Duty Type K Thermocouples
HEAVY-DUTY! Thick 8 gauge thermocouples last a long time. Special Limit of Error to ANSI MC96.1 specifications is used. KEEP YOUR WORK CLEAN! Ceramic protection tubes protect the end of the thermocouple. Keeps the oxide dust from the thermocouple tip from getting into the kiln while firing.

Solid Super-Strong Aluminized Steel Stand
Full support stand. Aluminized stands are solid and corrosion-resistant. They offer solid support under the kiln – unlike spot-welded angle stands that are common in the industry.

Molded Ceramic Element Connections
No crimping and Easy to change! Industrial-grade ceramic terminal blocks make changing elements easy. All contact between elements and wire lugs is over a wide surface of heavily torqued stainless steel washers. Wires are not crimped to element ends as in some other brands. This means you can change elements yourself without buying an expensive tool or hiring a kiln repair person.

Solid Wide-View Peephole Plugs
Stop breaking peephole plugs! Solid large non-tapered peepholes allow a wider view into the kiln. The peephole plugs are made from solid ceramic and are not as fragile as hollow-type plugs.
