Precision at Scale: Olympic FL53E Electric Kiln

Looking to supercharge your ceramic production? Meet the Olympic Kilns FL53E, a front-loading electric kiln that's a game-changer for high-volume firing needs. With its massive 53 cubic feet capacity and generous interior dimensions of 46" wide x 46" deep x 45" high, this kiln is tailor-made for busy studios, schools, and production potters who demand both space and efficiency.

The FL53E isn't just about size – it's engineered for precision and durability. Capable of firing up to cone 10 (2350°F), it features a robust welded heavy-angle iron frame and a stainless steel jacket built to withstand intensive use. The included steel rail track system makes loading and unloading a breeze, perfect for managing large batches or oversized pieces.

At the heart of this powerhouse is the Bartlett Instrument's 12-key digital KilnStar controller. This advanced system offers both cone fire and ramp-hold programs, along with features like delay start, preheat, and skip step. The result? Precise, consistent firings every time, giving you complete control over your ceramic creations.

***The importation of Mercury Displacement Relays (MDRs) is restricted in certain states. This unit includes MDRs, so the manufacturer will need to replace them with Solid-State Relays. This substitution is not one-to-one and may involve additional costs. By making this purchase, you agree to be contacted about any extra charges that may apply. Read below as to how Solid State Relays will help you save in the long-haul!

MDR Restricted States: CA, CT, RI, IL, NH, MA, MN, ME, VT, NY, LA, MD, WI

Optional Add-Ons for Olympic Kilns FL53E

Solid State Relay: Efficiently controls kiln elements, handling high power loads with precision. Offers faster response times and longer lifespan compared to mechanical relays, ensuring accurate temperature control and energy savings.

Orton Vent Master: Removes harmful toxins and improves airflow through downdraft venting, promoting safety and even heating. Extends kiln life and reduces maintenance costs by minimizing buildup of corrosive vapors.

Rolling Stand with Caster Wheels: Simplifies kiln movement for storage and workspace optimization. Particularly useful when using a vent system, allowing easy access for maintenance and cleaning.

Power Interrupt Switch: Automatically cuts power to heating elements when the kiln lid is open, preventing accidents. Protects both the operator and the kiln, enhancing overall safety during use.

Shelf/Furniture Kit: Maximizes kiln firing space with a comprehensive set of shelves and posts. Purchasing with the initial kiln order saves costs and provides a complete setup, though shelves may have minor imperfections.

Dual Media Lid Element: Expands kiln versatility by allowing both ceramic and glass fusing applications in a single unit. Enables seamless transitions between different firing processes, maximizing studio space efficiency.
