Description
For studios and production facilities that demand relentless throughput, the Cress EC32FH Ceramic Kiln pairs a spacious front-loading chamber with robust construction designed for continuous high-temperature firings.
Front-loading power and high-fire capability
- Interior: 28"W x 32"H x 26"D (13.40 cubic feet) for large batches of dinnerware, bowls, or sculpture.
- Maximum temperature: Cone 12 (2400°F) to handle high-fire glazes and thick-walled wares.
- Chamber wall construction: 3" brick walls with 1.5" backup insulation for improved efficiency.
- Heating elements and sensing: heavy-duty PM elements paired with a platinum thermocouple for reliable temperature control during back-to-back firings.
- Control system: digital controller with five preset firing speeds plus options for custom programming.
- Power and electrical: 208V or 240V operation; 74A (single-phase) / 49A (3-phase) at 240V; 86A (single-phase) / 53A (3-phase) at 208V; 17 kW.
- Exterior footprint: 47"W x 70"H x 44"D; shipping weight 1200 lbs.
Versatile configurations and installation options
- Versions: EC32FH (standard power) or EC32FHL (low-power) with the same large chamber.
- Optional sectional design for easier installation and integration into existing spaces.
- Optional 3-zone control to tailor firing profiles across multiple sections.
Why it fits serious production and big projects
Designed for studios, production potters, and teaching spaces that run high-fire work, the EC32FH supports multi-shelf runs of dinnerware, dozens of serving bowls, or oversized sculptures while maintaining temperature accuracy between firings. The reinforced heating elements and high-grade temperature sensor help you achieve consistent results and longer element life during continuous use.
