BidProwl Summary
Olympic Kiln GF32E Bell is a high-capacity glass fusing kiln with electronically lifting firing chamber, quartz rod elements, removable floor with wheel or track system, heavy angle iron frame, 4.5-inch insulating brick walls, double insulated floor, and KilnStar digital controller, listed in salvage/damaged condition with no specifics on what damage exists. Art glass studios and kiln refurbishment shops buy these for production work or parts recovery since replacement elements and controllers are valuable. Before bidding, inspect the heating elements for continuity, verify the electronic lift mechanism operates, check the stainless steel jacket for rust or corrosion, and confirm which floor system you're getting and whether it's functional.

Description from State Surplus
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
The GF32E Bell model has unique features which makes it a number one choice for volume production. The firing chamber lifts and lowers electronically and the top of the chamber contains the elements in quartz rods. The floor of the kiln can be built two different ways, 1) floor has rubber wheels to roll out for loading and unloading; or 2) floor is set on track for a smoother roll-out than the rubber wheels and can only come out as far as the track goes.
Olympic Kilns builds affordable powerful volume producing glass kilns. Users are provided with equipment that handles capacity loads and large pieces with ease. The Production Glass Fusing kilns have many outstanding features and can be designed as top-loading, clamshell loading, or both top and clamshell loading; and as a Bell design with the firing chamber electronically raised and lowered and a removable floor for convenient loading and unloading.
The frames of the Production glass fusing kilns are built of heavy angle iron and metal tubing. Kiln walls are 4 ½” insulating brick with 1” ceramic fiberboard and 1” air space created by the tube frame. The result is an energy-efficient heavy load production kiln with a cooler outside surface and temperature. These models are built with double insulated floors consisting of brick and ceramic fiberboard. The kiln's walls and floor are constructed of kiln brick and board insulation. Kiln brick, ceramic board, and pyro-block modules comprise the easy opening counter sprung lid.
Floor elements, when selected as an option, are controlled by infinite switches which can be adjusted by the kiln operator as needed. Glass fusing production kilns are equipped with heavy gauge elements and industrial relays for long life. These models have a hinged electrical box for easy access and their own breaker box for easy access, safety, and lockout.
Production glass kiln models come equipped with pilot light, heavy angle iron frame, stainless steel jacket, breaker box, KilnStar 12-key digital electronic controller, instruction manuals, and warranty card. One-year Limited Kiln Warranty. Options are available to include Type S thermocouple, 2 or 3 zone control, 480 volt, vents, and much more. Furniture Kits are available and provide 1 layer of shelving with smooth ceramic fiberboard, ceramic paper, and large square posts.
