We wind heating elements. Mostly for kilns.

Who we work for

Almost everyone who contacts us is a potter, a ceramics studio, or a supplier serving them. The usual story is a kiln that has started firing slowly, or stalls short of temperature, with a load of work waiting.

Most of those people do not know their part number, and they do not need to. A photo of the data plate, a look inside the kiln, or the old element next to a tape measure is usually enough for us to work out what to wind.

A coil manufacturer, not a kiln manufacturer

We do not make kilns, and we are not affiliated with any kiln brand. What we do is wind resistance wire to a specification. If you can give us the resistance, the length and the wire thickness, we can wind it, whatever the equipment. That covers kilns, but also industrial and one-off jobs where the original part is no longer available.

How we work

• We confirm the spec before we wind. You see what we plan to make and approve it. Nothing ships that we have not checked against your kiln.
• We hold every coil to ±2% resistance tolerance. Each one is measured against its target before it leaves.
• We wind and ship within 48 hours of confirming your spec. When a quote takes longer, it is almost always because we are waiting on a detail, so sending photos early speeds things up.
• We will tell you not to buy. Sometimes a slow kiln is a relay, a thermocouple or low supply voltage rather than the elements. We would rather say so than sell you a set that will not fix it.

Why the free tools

The calculators and guides on this site exist so you can check your elements before spending anything. A potter who orders the right set the first time comes back when that set wears out.
