Description

Olympic FL42E Commercial Kiln Built for Large-Scale Ceramic Production

The Olympic FL42E is designed for potters, schools, and studios that need the capacity to fire more work at once. With a 42 cubic foot chamber (35" x 46" x 45"), this kiln provides space for tall sculptures, full class loads, or high-volume dinnerware runs in one cycle. Firing to Cone 10 (2350°F), it handles stoneware, porcelain, and a wide variety of glaze finishes.

A front-loading design makes it easier to handle heavy or delicate work compared to top-loading kilns. Strong construction with a welded steel frame and stainless steel jacket ensures durability under frequent use, while the 12-key KilnStar controller gives you the ability to fine-tune firings with ramp-hold cycles, preheat, delay start, and cone offset.

For busy studios, art centres, and production potters, the FL42E combines scale, consistency, and safety to help you meet large production schedules.
