Large-Scale Firing for Studios and Classrooms with the Olympic FL17E Commercial Kiln

The Olympic FL17E gives potters, schools, and art centres the space to fire big loads without compromise. With a 17 cubic foot chamber (28" x 28" x 38"), you can load tall sculptures, large dinnerware sets, or multiple shelves of bowls and mugs in a single cycle. Cone 10 capability (2350°F) means it handles everything from stoneware to porcelain with ease.

The front-loading design makes loading heavy platters or delicate forms more comfortable than leaning into a top-loader. A welded angle iron frame and stainless steel jacket provide the durability needed for frequent use. The standard 12-key KilnStar controller lets you schedule firings with precision using features like delay start, preheat, cone offset, and skip-step, so you can trust your results every time.

For studios with ongoing production or classrooms that fire often, the FL17E delivers consistency, safety, and efficiency on a large scale.
