Kilncare Ikon V100 Top Loading Pottery Kiln – Kiln Crafts

The Ikon V100 — 104 litres of British-built precision at 1315°C. Call us before ordering for installation advice.

Not sure which kiln is right for you?

KilncareIkon V100 Top Loading Pottery Kiln

104 litres. 1315°C. Type R thermocouple precision. SSR-controlled reliability. The IKON V100 is the largest top-loading kiln in the IKON range — a precision-engineered, British-built studio workhorse for serious ceramic artists, education departments, and professional makers.

  • 104-litre chamber: The largest IKON capacity — room for large-scale work, big batch loads, and the output demands of a busy professional studio.
  • Type R thermocouple: Premium thermocouple type used in professional and scientific applications — more accurate temperature measurement across the full firing range than standard Type K sensors.
  • SSR-controlled elements: Solid-state relay control gives smoother, more precise element switching than mechanical relays — better temperature accuracy, longer element life.
  • 1315°C maximum: The complete ceramic firing spectrum from low-fire earthenware to the most demanding high-fire stoneware and porcelain.
  • Made in Stoke-on-Trent: Kilncare's British manufacturing heritage. Precision construction, UK parts, UK support.

Precision at Professional Scale

The V100 is the flagship of the IKON top-loading range — not just larger than the V80, but more precisely engineered. The combination of a Type R thermocouple and solid-state relay (SSR) control represents a meaningful step up in firing accuracy over the standard thermocouple and mechanical relay systems found in smaller kilns.

Type R thermocouples are used in professional and scientific applications precisely because of their superior accuracy across a wide temperature range. In a kiln context, that accuracy translates directly to more consistent glaze results, more reliable technical firings, and tighter control over complex multi-stage programmes. The SSR-controlled elements switch more smoothly and precisely than mechanical relays, which extends element life and eliminates the small temperature overshoots that can affect sensitive glazes.

At 104 litres, the V100 is a serious commitment to scale. It's the right choice for professional studios with high output requirements, education departments running intensive ceramics programmes, and ceramicists whose practice has genuinely grown to the point where smaller kilns are the limiting factor. Call us before ordering — at this scale, getting the electrical and installation setup right is essential.

The V100 Is Right For You If

  • You need maximum IKON capacity — 104 litres
  • You want the precision of Type R thermocouple and SSR control
  • You run a professional studio, department, or production facility
  • You fire technically demanding glazes and need accurate temperature control
  • You want the best British-built top-loading kiln at this scale

The Engineering Behind the V100

Type R Thermocouple Precision

Type R thermocouples use platinum-rhodium alloys that offer exceptional accuracy and stability across the ceramic firing range — more reliable than the standard Type K sensors used in most entry and mid-range kilns. The result is tighter temperature control throughout the firing profile, more consistent results between loads, and the precision required for technically demanding work.

SSR-Controlled Element Switching

Solid-state relays switch the elements on and off electronically rather than mechanically. The practical benefits are significant: smoother power delivery, better temperature accuracy, no relay wear over time, and longer element life. For a kiln at this scale firing regularly, the improvement in reliability and the reduction in maintenance requirements justify the engineering investment.

104-Litre British-Built Chamber

The largest IKON chamber, manufactured in Stoke-on-Trent to the same quality standards as the rest of the range. At 104 litres, you have the room to fire large-scale work, run significant batch loads, and meet the output demands of a genuinely busy professional studio or educational facility without compromise.

What's Included

✓ V80/V100 Furniture Set
✓ Free UK delivery
✓ KCR32C controller

Every V100 includes the dedicated V80/V100 Furniture Set and free delivery to mainland UK. At 104 litres, delivery and installation require more planning than for smaller kilns — call us before ordering and we'll walk you through exactly what's needed for a smooth installation.

The V100 requires a hardwired dedicated electrical circuit. This is not a plug-in kiln. Please call us on 01206 648025 before ordering so we can confirm your studio's electrical supply is correctly specified for this model.
