Who it's for
Business-grade temperature control, for your own build.
This is for the hands-on builder who wants the best controller we offer. If you are wiring your own control box, building a forge or a kiln, or want the easiest one to read and set, this is the top of our line. It comes programmed and ready to wire into your build.
A working business tool · Model Touchscreen PID Controller (Wifi)
You get a full touchscreen, not a pushbutton unit.
You set and read everything on the screen: the live temperature, your set point, and the built-in timer.
It is a fully featured controller, not a bare-bones one.
The cheap controllers you find online usually skip the extras. This one is our top controller: it has the built-in timer and the pulse output (it rapidly switches the element to hold temperature) for a solid-state relay (the electronic switch that pulses the heating element on and off).
You program it with a real person on the phone if you want.
Call us for as long as you own it and we will walk you or your employees through the programming. That does not stop when the warranty does.
It runs more than a powder oven.
On one of our ovens the controller is capped at the oven's material limit. On its own it can be set well beyond that for a forge or a kiln, or switched to run a cooling application.
It arrives in a box, programmed, ready to wire in.
It is the controller itself, not a wired-up control box, so you or your employees wire it into your build. A setup manual and short how-to videos come with it, and the hinged cover with built-in wire clips keeps your wiring tidy and easy to reach.

Every spec, printed in plain text.Confirm the fit before you buy.

From their shops
Real ovens, in real shops, from a real company.
“Just received my 5x4x4 electric oven and it looks absolutely amazing. Extremely well built, delivery was timely and professional, and customer service has so far been top notch!”
“Thanks for the crazy quick and precise delivery. You guys went above and beyond to accommodate my schedule.”
“It was packaged very well. They told me they would ship it within just a couple days. Believe it or not, it actually happened that way.”
Every review here was freely given. We do not buy reviews and we never have.
Straight answers
The questions buyers actually ask. Answered on the page.
Is this company real? Who am I buying from?
Fair question. Silverback is a real shop. Every oven is built and tested in our shop, our address is on this site, and the company is veteran owned. Call 314-202-4027 and you will talk to a real person.
Will it work with my power?
Everything you need is printed on this page, in plain text. Not sure? Snap a photo of your panel and call us, and we will walk through it together.
I could just build one myself.
You could, and on materials alone a home build can come out cheaper. The real cost is time and risk: the weekends spent cutting, sealing, and wiring are weekends not spent coating paid work, and a home build is not engineered, tested, or warrantied. It shows up in 5 to 7 business days, programmed and ready to wire into your build, with a 2-year parts warranty behind it. If you are set on building, we also sell the PID controller and parts, which are the hard part to source.
Will it fit my box or panel?
Confirm the fit in your own box or panel before you buy: the manual linked on this page covers your unit, and if you are not sure, call us and we will walk through it together.
What is included in the price?
It arrives programmed and ready to wire into your build, and a 2-year parts warranty and lifetime phone support are included at no upcharge. Add-ons are optional, so you only pay for what your work needs.
Do you help with setup?
Yes. Lifetime phone support is included: call for as long as you own it and we will walk you through setup, programming, or a repair, no matter when you bought. Everything you need is printed on this page in plain text.
Does the touchscreen include ramp and soak?
No. The touchscreen we sell runs standard PID control: it holds your set temperature and runs your timer, without stepped ramp and soak programs.
If you need ramp and soak, that is the Bluetooth Ramp and Soak controller, sold as its own unit or as the controller choice on either control box.
Will it run a forge or kiln, not just a powder oven?
Yes. On one of our ovens the controller is capped at the oven's own limit. On its own it can be set well beyond that for a forge or a kiln, or switched to run a cooling application.
Tell us what you are running and we will help you match the controller to it. Call 314-202-4027.
