Kilns & FurnacesFalcon 170L Front Load Pottery Kiln

A professional front-loading kiln built for studios that need a taller internal chamber for tall vases, sculpture, and pieces that need height more than depth. 171L of firing space, 1300 degrees C maximum, high-grade spiral wound elements, and Kilns and Furnaces engineering that serious studios rely on.

  • 171L front-loading chamber: 46cm (W) x 55cm (D) x 68cm (H) internal. Sized for studios that need a taller internal chamber for tall vases.
  • 1300°C maximum: The full ceramic firing range — earthenware, stoneware, and porcelain — all within the Falcon.
  • Electro-mechanical door interlock: UK-compliant safety system prevents door opening during operation.
  • High-grade spiral wound elements: Fitted to the sidewall and base for even heat across the full chamber volume.
  • TCS2 series controller (optional): 32 programmable firing segments — ramp, target temperature, and hold.

The Right Size for Your Studio

The Falcon 170L offers a different internal profile from the 160L — taller (68cm versus 58cm) but slightly less deep (55cm versus 61cm). At 230kg it is notably lighter than the 160L despite a similar capacity. The taller internal height makes it the right choice for studios working on tall vases, sculptural pieces, and forms that need vertical room.

The Falcon range is built around a consistent engineering philosophy across all sizes: highly thermally efficient construction with high-grade spiral wound elements in both the sidewall and the base, a UK-compliant electro-mechanical door interlock, over-temperature kiln lining protection, and ventilation cooling ports as standard. The same quality of construction applies at every size in the range.

The TCS2 series controller is available as an optional addition giving you 32 programmable firing segments for full control over ramp rates, target temperatures, and hold times. Kilns and Furnaces provide a full UK spares service and maintenance contracts for long-term support.

The Falcon 170L Is Right For You If

  • You work on tall pieces that need more internal height than the 160L
  • You fire tall vases, sculpture, or forms that need 68cm of clearance
  • You want a lighter kiln than the 160L at similar capacity
  • You want the 3-phase option at 25A per phase
  • You need more height than depth in your kiln chamber

What Every Falcon Is Built With

Thermally Efficient Construction

Every Falcon kiln is built for efficiency — optimised heat retention and distribution throughout the chamber. High-grade spiral wound elements are fitted to both the sidewall and the base for even heat coverage across the full firing volume. Consistent results, lower electricity consumption per firing cycle, and quality that holds up over thousands of firings.

UK-Compliant Safety Systems

The electro-mechanical door interlock prevents the door from opening during a firing — UK-compliant and engineered to protect both the operator and the work inside. An over-temperature kiln lining protection system provides an additional layer of safety. Ventilation cooling ports allow controlled post-firing cooling and gas venting. An instrument socket is included, compatible with the full Kilns and Furnaces controller range.

TCS2 Series Digital Controller (Optional)

Optional programmable control over the firing cycle — ramp rates, target temperatures, and hold periods across up to 32 segments. Precise enough for the most technically demanding ceramic applications, clear enough for everyday use. Full UK spares service and maintenance contracts available for every Falcon kiln for long-term operational reliability.

Requires a dedicated 50AA hardwired single-phase supply installed by a qualified electrician. 3-phase option available at 25AA per phase on request at point of order. Call us on 01206 648025 before ordering and we will help confirm your electrical setup is ready.
