KM1222 Electric Kiln – Twelve-Sided Top-Loading Kiln with KilnMaster Controller and Lid Lifter
Please note: This high-capacity wired-in kiln requires fixed installation into your electricity supply. Standard price £4250 ex VAT.
The KM1222 is a large twelve-sided top-loading electric kiln designed for professional potters, studios, and schools needing excellent capacity with a slightly lower profile for easier loading. With its 28-inch diameter chamber, it’s perfect for firing wide platters, larger decorative pieces, and high-volume studio work. The reduced height makes loading and unloading heavy or fragile items more comfortable without compromising on capacity or performance.
Equipped with a digital KilnMaster controller and a smooth-action Lid Lifter, this kiln offers precision temperature control and effortless operation. The sectional body allows for straightforward transport or maintenance, while its robust construction ensures years of reliable service for both high-temperature stoneware and earthenware production.
