Description

Olympic FL53E Commercial Kiln Built for High-Volume Ceramic Firing

The Olympic FL53E is made for serious production needs. With a massive 53 cubic foot chamber (46" x 46" x 45"), it handles large pottery runs, oversized sculptures, and school or studio projects in one cycle. Firing to Cone 10 (2350°F), it covers everything from stoneware to porcelain and glaze finishes.

This front-loading kiln features an optional steel rail track system that makes loading and unloading heavy or bulky work far easier. A welded angle iron frame and stainless steel jacket ensure strength for daily use, while the digital 12-Key KilnStar Controller gives you complete control over your firing schedules.

Whether you’re running a busy production pottery, teaching in a large program, or handling industrial applications, the FL53E brings space, consistency, and reliability to your workflow.
