Ceramic Kilns

The kilns may only be operated by the workshop management.

The KITTEC X 300 S kiln and the Pyrotec PC are electric kilns used for firing ceramics. They are top-loading kilns, which means they opens from above and they are easy to load.

KITTEC X 300 S can reach temperatures up to 1320 °C, which makes it suitable for many ceramic processes. It has a chamber volume of about 294 litres. The inner dimensions are about 690 mm diameter and 780 mm height, giving enough space for medium to large ceramic works.

Pyrotec PC can reach temperatures of up to 1280 °C. Its internal dimensions are approximately 230 x 230 x 230 mm, providing enough space for small-scale ceramic experiments.

The kilns are designed for even heat distribution and energy efficiency, using high-quality insulation and heating elements.

Materials Suitable for Firing in a Ceramic Kiln

The following materials may be fired in a ceramic kiln, depending on the manufacturer’s specifications and the recommended temperature range:

  • Ceramic bodies and clays
  • Terracotta
  • Earthenware
  • Stoneware
  • Porcelain and porcelain clay
  • Glazes
  • Engobes and ceramic colours

    No material may be fired in the ceramic kiln without a complete technical data sheet. The data sheet must include information about the appropriate firing temperature. No metals or glass may be melted or fired in the ceramic kiln.
