Electric Frontloaders S series
Rohde Electric Frontloaders from the S Series are robust, reliable front loading kilns with five-sided heating designed for consistent results across a wide range of firing needs. Suitable for studios, schools and community spaces, these kilns combine even heat distribution, durable construction and practical usability to support ceramicists from hobbyists to frequent firers.
The S Series comprises nine models with kiln capacities ranging from approximately 100 to 1000 litres, offering flexible options for both smaller studios and high-volume professional workshops.
Designed for Regular and Intensive Use
Rohde Electric Frontloaders in the S Series feature heating elements mounted on supporting rods, providing comprehensive five-sided coverage within the firing chamber. This design supports even heat distribution across all firing ranges, making the kilns an ideal choice for both bisque and glaze firings.
Developed for hard-wearing, long-term use, the S Series is particularly suited to professional workshops with frequent firing schedules, while remaining equally suitable for everyday use in educational environments. Robust construction is paired with a four-layer insulation system, using high-quality, reduction-resistant insulating firebricks in the firing chamber and advanced insulating materials to improve energy efficiency and heat retention.
Engineered for Reliable, Long-Term Operation
The entire steel construction is equipped with stainless steel in-frame ventilation, helping to reduce corrosion, manage external temperatures and support reliable operation over time. Rohde’s proven ceiling construction system, used successfully for more than 20 years, also helps prevent particles falling from the ceiling onto the ware, supporting clean and consistent firing results.
The front-loading design allows easier access and handling of larger or heavier workpieces, supporting efficient loading and smooth firing workflows. Combined with dependable heating technology, these kilns provide a flexible, reliable foundation for a wide range of ceramic techniques, from decorative and functional ware to more demanding studio applications.
Considering Alternative Rohde Front Loading Kilns
While the S Series is well-suited to studios with regular or intensive firing schedules, alternative options may better suit lighter use. Educational settings and hobby studios may prefer the accessible performance and strong value offered by the KE-B Series front-loaders, while studios seeking a balance between enhanced heat control and regular use may also consider the KE-N Series.
