NABERTHERM 160L TOP 160 1300ºC Kiln

The Nabertherm TOP 160 is a top-loading ceramic kiln with a capacity of 160 litres and a maximum temperature of 1320 ºC. It is designed for ceramic workshops, schools, professional studios and potters who need a spacious, reliable and efficient kiln for bisque firing, glaze firing, stoneware, porcelain and other ceramic work.

Thanks to its top-loading design, it allows pieces to be placed comfortably while making excellent use of the internal space. Its cylindrical chamber provides even heat distribution, helping to achieve stable and consistent results in every firing.

This model combines a large loading capacity with robust construction and optimised energy consumption. It is made with high-quality insulating materials designed to reduce heat loss, improve energy efficiency and support more efficient cooling times. Its stainless steel outer casing provides strength, durability and a modern look for the studio.

The TOP 160 includes an AC590 touchscreen controller, making it easy to programme and monitor firings. It offers intuitive programme management and functions designed for safe and comfortable operation.

Advantages of the Nabertherm TOP 160

The TOP 160 is a very complete option for users who need greater capacity without giving up the convenience of a top-loading kiln. Its 160-litre volume makes it possible to fire medium and large pieces, or to complete firings with several pieces at the same time, optimising both time and energy consumption.

Its construction is designed to offer a long service life, thermal stability and reliable firing results. It is especially suitable for workshops with regular production, training centres or potters who want to move up to a kiln with more capacity and higher performance.

Thanks to its touchscreen controller, firing management is simpler and allows users to work with different temperature curves depending on the clay body, glaze or technique used.

Recommendations for use

• Always use suitable refractory kiln furniture: shelves, props and supports compatible with the working temperature.
• Leave enough space between pieces to allow heat to circulate properly.
• Choose the appropriate firing curve according to the clay body, glaze and final temperature.
• Check the electrical installation before first use, especially as this is a three-phase unit.
• Always follow the manufacturer’s instructions for installation, safety, maintenance and ventilation.
