Potterycrafts Heatworker 180L Capacity

With a generous 180-litre chamber, this kiln is ideal for high-output professional and educational environments where consistency and scale are essential.

Premium Construction

Constructed from durable low thermal insulation brick with two high-grade backup insulation boards, all enclosed within a high-quality pressed steel and powder-coated frame. The brick-to-brick door seal ensures a flush fit, reducing heat loss and increasing firing efficiency.

Advanced Tubed Element Design

Unlike conventional grooved-wall systems, the Heatworker 180L uses ceramic support tubes to mount the elements in free air, offering multiple benefits:

• Higher maximum temperature of 1320 °C.
• Reduced stress on elements and chamber walls.
• Improved efficiency as radiant heat enters the chamber directly.
• Easier element changes when required.
• Extended brickwork life as bricks are not weakened by grooves.
• Reduced risk of element failure causing brick damage.
