Cress EC32FHL Ceramic Kiln

Cress EC32FHL Ceramic Kiln

The EC32FHL front-loading ceramic kiln is built for studios that need substantial capacity. Its expansive 28" wide by 32" high by 26" deep chamber lets you roll a ware cart right up to the door and load whole shelves with minimal bending. This design supports large-scale sculpture projects, multi-class batches, or production runs while keeping loading and unloading smooth and efficient.

• Front-loading chamber enables easy loading and unloading; no reaching over kiln walls
• Interior dimensions: 28"W x 32"H x 26"D (13.40 cubic feet chamber volume)
• Maximum temperature: Cone 10 (2350°F); optimized for low to mid-fire ranges with standard elements and a Type K thermocouple
• Power and installation: available in standard power (EC32FH) or low-power (EC32FHL); sectional kiln option for easier installation
• Controls: digital controller with 5 preset firing speeds plus custom options for repeatable schedules
• Construction: 3" brick walls plus 1.5" backup insulation for maximum efficiency
• Exterior dimensions: 47"W x 70"H x 44"D; shipping weight around 1200 lbs
• Electrical specifications: Voltage 208V or 240V; EC32FHL-240: 74A single-phase / 49A 3-phase; EC32FHL-208: 86A single-phase / 53A 3-phase; Watts: 17kW

For frequent Cone 12 firing, consider the EC32FH model with upgraded PM elements and a Type S platinum thermocouple. If you primarily fire low to mid-range, the EC32FHL offers economical operation with standard elements and a Type K thermocouple. For setup and operation details, see the Cress EC32FHL Manual.

Designed for studios, production potters, and teaching spaces, this front-loading kiln simplifies maintenance and element replacement compared to top-loading designs. It’s also available as a sectional kiln to adapt to tighter installation environments, and it supports shelving configurations across multiple levels for efficient batch firing.
