The Knife Makers Brand

 

KF Knife Ovens
240V Operation

The KF Series offers the knife maker the size and power to take on any heat treating opportunity. Features like the swing-out door and cool-touch handle make working in the heat cool and comfortable. Full stainless jackets and corner mounted hinge assemblies mean they're built for life. Add to this a variety of depth and control options and you'll see why the KF Series has been so well received.

Currently the KF 18 is the most popular model followed closely by the KF 22.5. For those needing extreme depths we can build your KF up to 49.5" deep. Our KF ovens are stock equipped with our exclusive Set-Pro, three button control. It's very easy to use. If you need more than 4 programs or like the idea of a numerical keypad ask for our optional Rampmaster control.

KF Features

Side Opening Door

Working in the heat is fun, trying to avoid it isn’t. Doors that swing down throw off massive amounts of heat just below the chamber entrance. Our side hinged doors swing out to the left to keep the heat away for more cool and comfortable use. It’s an excellent design choice that makes all the difference.


 

 

 

KF Features

Cool & Comfortable Door Handle

The handle on our swing out door is conveniently located at the front of the door, not hidden along the side. This spring loaded, phenolic handle is cool to the touch, is one-handed in design and serves as the door latch as well.

KF Features

Full Stainless Jacket

Multi-section ovens are designed to lower production costs for the oven manufacturer. It's a worthy goal but it comes at the cost of oven quality. It’s a trade off we’re not willing to make. We build our KF ovens with full stainless jackets from front to back. Full jackets mean absolutely solid, life extending construction. There are no leaks, no shifting, no buckles and no weakness. Insist on Full Stainless Jackets for true build quality.


 

 

 

KF Features

Corner Mounting Technique

The corners of the oven body and door provide excellent strength for mounting. The flat sides of the oven don’t offer this strength. We install our load bearing hinge brackets on these corners for this very reason. Longer life, high reliability: solid design makes a difference.


 

 

 

KF Features

Power Interrupt Switch Option

All KF Series Ovens are available with our Power Interrupt Option (a.k.a. door switch). The Power Interrupt automatically removes power from all heating elements as the door is opened and reapplies power as the door is closed. The switch used for this feature is a true safety switch and is designed specifically for safety applications. The choice of this switch adds an additional level of safety and security not found in ordinary “safety” switches.


 

 

 

KF Features

Responsive Thermocouples

Our thermocouples (temperature sensors) are chosen for their quick response and reliable performance. Our standard thermocouple is a Type K. Type S thermocouples are available by request on Rampmaster equipped ovens at additional charge.
