Nabertherm NW series front-loading kilns, 150 to 660 liters

Nabertherm NW series front-loading kilns with pull-out drawer, five-sided heating, 1300 and 1340 °C, available in 10 variants with AC590 controller

The NW series front-loading kilns are the premium, ergonomic choice among Nabertherm front-loading kilns. The loadable kiln base can be pulled out like a smooth-running drawer, or, in the case of larger models from NW 440 upwards, functions as a freely movable bogie hearth. This allows you to load the kiln comfortably and ergonomically from three sides, a real advantage for daily operation in workshops, studios, clinics, and schools. Five-sided heating on support tubes ensures excellent temperature uniformity and, consequently, outstanding, reproducible firing results. The models cover volumes from 150 to 660 liters and reach up to 1300 °C, or up to 1340 °C in the H high-temperature version.

Like all Nabertherm kilns, these front-loading kilns are meticulously handcrafted in Germany, manufactured to current safety standards, delivered with a CE declaration of conformity, and come with a 36-month warranty.

Standard or high temperature (H): which NW series kiln is right for you?

The standard models reach 1300 °C and cover the entire ceramic range from bisque firing to stoneware. Models with an "H" in the title are designed for 1340 °C, feature a higher power rating, and are suitable for high-firing bodies and particularly intensive use. Both versions share the same robust construction and equipment. All NW series models require a 400 V three-phase power connection, which must be installed by an electrician.

The Nabertherm NW series is available in 10 versions:
