The 160L studio kiln

The Top 160 is a natural choice for studios running regular commercial firings or teaching workshops with a steady flow of student work. The 520mm chamber diameter is generous, and the height gives you useful room for taller pieces.

Uses the same chamber circumference as the Top 130 and Top 190 — so the kiln furniture is interchangeable if you run multiple kilns of different sizes in a studio.

AC590 touch controller, RCF-free insulation, DEKRA certification — everything you expect from Nabertherm, at the 160L scale.
