NABERTHERM 80L TOP 80/R 1300ºC Kiln

The Nabertherm TOP 80/R is a top-loading ceramic kiln with a capacity of 80 litres and a maximum temperature of 1320 ºC. It is an ideal option for ceramic workshops, schools, professional studios and potters who need a compact, powerful and reliable kiln for bisque firing, glaze firing, stoneware, porcelain and other ceramic work.

The TOP 80/R version belongs to the high-power top-loading kiln range, designed for users who carry out frequent firings or need to reach high temperatures more efficiently. Its 7.0 kW power allows faster heating than standard models of similar capacity, making it a very interesting option for workshops with a regular workflow.

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

This model combines good 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 suitable cooling times. Its resistant outer casing provides durability and a modern look for the studio.

The TOP 80/R includes a controller for programming and managing firing curves in a simple and intuitive way, making it easier to work with different clay bodies, glazes and temperatures.

Advantages of the Nabertherm TOP 80/R

The TOP 80/R is a very balanced option for users looking for a medium-sized kiln with higher performance. Its 80-litre capacity makes it possible to fire medium-sized pieces or complete firings with several small and medium pieces at the same time, optimising working time.

The high-power version is especially useful for users who need to carry out frequent firings, reach high temperatures safely and reduce heating times. It is suitable both for growing workshops and for potters who regularly work with stoneware, porcelain or high-temperature glazes.

Its top-loading format makes it easy to place pieces inside the kiln and allows the internal volume to be used efficiently, while maintaining good thermal stability during firing.

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.
