When Your Work Outgrows a Top-Loader
The move from a top-loading to a front-loading kiln is a significant step ā and it's usually the right one when the combination of load size, load complexity, and firing frequency has reached the limits of what a top-loader can comfortably handle. At 90 litres with front-loading access, the Artizan 90 opens up a different way of working: easier loading of large pieces, better visibility when placing work, and room for the kind of ambitious projects that a smaller kiln simply can't accommodate.
Kanthal A1 elements are the specification choice that separates serious professional kilns from mid-range units. Made from Swedish high-resistance steel alloy, Kanthal A1 wire holds its properties at high temperatures longer than standard elements, resists oxidation more effectively, and delivers consistent performance over a significantly longer service life. For a kiln that's going to fire regularly for years, that longevity is a meaningful return on the investment.
The three-section automatic door seals are engineered to close consistently and completely across the full height of the Artizan 90's front opening. Even heat distribution in a 90-litre chamber requires good sealing ā cold spots caused by door gaps lead to uneven results. The Artizan 90's sealing system is part of why it produces consistent firing results across the whole load.
