Leading Electric Top Loader Kilns
Rohde’s Ecotop toploaders combine a lightweight, microporous insulating brick concept with robust construction to maximise heat retention and minimise running costs. A sturdy lid supported by gas-pressure springs ensures effortless and safe opening. At the same time, a door-contact switch automatically isolates the heating elements when the kiln is lifted, enhancing both safety and convenience.
The chamber design provides excellent heat distribution, reserve capacity, and stability during higher-temperature firings, allowing potters to reach stoneware temperatures with confidence. The Ecotop range features the trusted ST411 controller, highly efficient insulation, and durable heating elements, offering remarkable performance in a compact footprint.
Why Opt for a Top Loader?
Top-loading kilns offer excellent accessibility, efficient use of studio space, and straightforward loading, particularly for medium to large-batch work. Their deep chamber design is ideal for tall forms or stacked kiln furniture, while the top-opening mechanism creates a clear, unobstructed workspace. Ecotop kilns are particularly valued for their reliability, economical power consumption, and flexibility across clay bodies.
For users with limited electrical supply, the 13A plug-in Ecotop 43 provides an accessible route into high-quality kiln ownership without requiring major electrical upgrades.
