Olympic FrontLoad Large Kilns

Olympic Commercial Front Load kilns

FL5.5 - with casters
and electronic controller

Olympic Square Front Load kilns are commercial quality, and excellent for firing high fire loads. The firing chamber is a brick and board combination designed to optimize insulation efficiency with low mass. Most models have an adjustable door wheel for extra support, and floor elements are optional.

The welded frames/firing-chamber are built of heavy angle iron and metal tubing. Walls are 4 1/2" insulating brick with 1" ceramic fiberboard and 1" air space created by the tube frame. The result is an energy efficient electric commercial kiln with a cooler skin and outside temperature. The kilns are all built with double insulated floors consisting of brick and ceramic fiberboard.

The kiln doors are built with steel with a 4 1/2" brick insert in the door for the elements, backed by 1" x 1" steel tubing and 1" ceramic fiberboard. The ceramic fiber in the door or lid is energy efficient and forms a tight seal between the opening and body of the kiln. FL8 and larger has elements in the door. Kiln skins are stainless steel

* The FL4.5, 5.5, 8 and 12 standard design will fit through a 36" door ( if the kiln door is open 180 degrees). The FL17 and FL20 can be made to fit through a 36" wide door opening upon request. (The interior dimension doesn't change but the insulation is assembled a little differently.)

All models are equipped with heavy gauge elements for long life. Industrial relays insure quiet operation and long-life and the commercial electrical boxes are hinged and simplify kiln maintenance. Floor elements (std on FL31, FL36, FL42, FL53, or when selected as an option) are controlled by infinite switches and can be adjusted by the kiln operator as needed.

FL31 - with electronic controller

All model are cone 10 / 2350°F and include electronic controller. All models come with peephole plugs, instruction manual, and a one-year warranty.

We have to do individual freight quotes on these kilns. Please email with your ZIP code and we'd be happy to quote you.

Note: FL kilns are big and heavy. They can be very difficult to move. When ordering, determine how you will get the kiln to it's final location. Consider obstructions, stairs, doorways, flooring material, sprinkler heads, etc. It can be worth getting the castor option just for initial placement of the kiln. The largest model that can fit on a liftgate is the FL20, but please request this so we can make sure. For kilns larger than that, you definitely need a forklift or loading dock.
