Product Overview
Salt Bath 709:
**PLEASE NOTE THAT SALT POT IS SOLD SEPERATELY. PLEASE CONTACT US FOR A QUOTE. Salt pots are available in 4", 5" or 6" opening in schedule 40 or 80. ***
The Salt Bath 709 with it's relatively shallow depth of 9" was designed for the folder knife maker but is equally at home for any short steels.
Special TAP control software utilizes two thermocouples to control proper heat-up and heat treat operations, as well as an over-temp thermocouple circuit for safety.
A solid state relay was chosen for driving the heating elements to give tight control, longer heating element life and a low failure probability.
Additional features include drip shields on both the lid and control panel to stop any "drag-out" from reaching critical components, a pivoting control enclosure that allows for relaxed programming and safe storage as well as electrically grounded salt pot and thermocouples for electrical safety.

TAP Controller
Evenheat salt bath kilns are built exclusively with the TAP control. The TAP utilizes a touchscreen that's very easy to navigate and understand with all operations displayed in word form.
The TAP control features a thermocouple switching function for reliable and safe salt bath use. When the heat treat process is started, the TAP uses the temperature of the firing chamber to control from. The chamber temperature is a steady and reliable point from which to control as the salts in the salt pot are solid at the beginning of the process. Once the salts in the salt bath become molten (liquid) the TAP is switched over to the immersion thermocouple for precise salt bath temperature control. It's a very useful and reliable feature that only the TAP control can offer.
The TAP control features an Over-temp (high-limit) thermocouple circuit that aborts the heat treat process if the temperature exceeds the process temperature. This over-temp circuit adds a level of safety not found in other controls.
Setting up the TAP for use is a very simple process that requires a single press of the Start key to get things rolling.
While running, the TAP displays current temperature and thermocouple selection (chamber or immersion) in a large, easy to read format. It's easily seen from across your shop or work area. Evenheat salt bath kilns are standard equipped with solid state relays for high reliability. The TAP control has been specifically designed to operate these solid state relays.
The TAP Controller features a touchscreen design that offers a large screen with full text . All commands and menu items are legible, easy to read and easy to operate. Simply respond to the screen with a touch! The TAP Controller is supplied pre-loaded with firing schedules as well as allowing the artist to create and store their own custom programs. On-the-fly features such as adding time to a hold, adding temperature to a hold and skipping ahead are available and easy to use. The TAP Controller allows for Wi-Fi connection via our well placed USB and Ethernet ports. This connectivity allows the artist to monitor the kiln, develop and edit programs and perform TAP Controller functions from a networked computer, tablet or mobile device. WiFi Dongle Add-On Touchscreen technology offers many improvements and Evenheat is dedicated to providing this technology to our customers. |
