Pyrotec Studio Series top loading kiln

PYROTEC Studio-Line Top-Loading Kiln in 10 Variants with PY1 or TC66 Controller

The STUDIO series from the German manufacturer PYROTEC offers a cost-effective kiln solution, primarily used for earthenware, i.e., ceramics with medium firing temperatures. Thanks to the insulation specifically adapted for this application, it offers a particularly attractive price-performance ratio. The lightweight construction also allows firing temperatures of up to 1260°C.

All models in the STUDIO series are manufactured according to the latest safety standards and come with a corresponding declaration of conformity. We also offer a 36-month manufacturer's warranty on our kilns and controllers (heating coils and thermocouples are excluded).

What are the differences between the three PYROTEC series: STUDIO, PROFITHERM, and PROFITHERM HS?

The STUDIO series is the affordable entry-level model for hobby ceramists and ideal if you are looking for a solid top-loader with a maximum firing temperature of 1260°C. The PROFITHERM series is the more powerful series for higher temperatures up to 1320°C. The PROFITHERM HS models additionally feature a comfortable hinged lid with gas pressure springs, which makes opening and closing significantly easier, especially for larger kilns. This means that PROFITHERM HS models are generally aimed more at workshops and larger institutions.

The Studio-Line (series) from PYROTEC is available in 10 versions:

Model ST 52 H - 52 liters volume
Model ST 52 HD - 52 liters volume
Model ST 68 H - 70 liters volume
Model ST 68 HD - 70 liters volume
Model ST 85 HD - 85 liters volume
Model ST 103 HD - 105 liters volume
Model ST 120 HD - 122 liters volume
Model ST 145 HD - 145 liters volume
Model ST 173 HD - 177 liters volume
Model ST 208 HD - 209 liters volume

Optional accessories:

• Castors: Optionally, the kiln can be supplied with sturdy castors (Ø 75 mm with locking and crown brake). This allows the kiln to be moved conveniently and safely. Direct link: Pyrotec Castors for Kilns
  
• Firing Set: A suitable firing set is also optionally available, consisting of
  • 3 Cordierite kiln shelves Ø 35 cm, 1 cm thick
  • 18 Sillimanite props Ø 40 mm – 6 pieces each in 50, 100 and 150 mm height
  • 1 kg kiln wash
• Air intake slider in the base: For better ventilation of the firing chamber, an air intake slider can be integrated, which supplies the kiln atmosphere with additional oxygen. Direct link: Air Intake Slider
• Electronic Controllers: An electronic controller (PY1 or TC66) is included as standard:
  
  
  • The PY1 controller is manufactured by Pyrotec itself and is a modern compact controller for ceramic kilns, enabling precise and reproducible firing processes. The firing curve includes heating, final temperature, hold time, and natural cooling. Five preset programs can be individually adjusted and permanently saved. The controller has a key lock to prevent accidental changes.
    
    
  • The TC66 controller from the manufacturer Bentrup is a modern compact controller with a fully freely adjustable firing curve. It allows for a pre-start time as well as linear heating in two stages up to the desired final temperature, followed by holding and controlled cooling. Additionally, six preset programs are available which can be individually adjusted.

As a special feature, we offer our Formwerk Berlin customers the option to purchase the kiln without a controller at a reduced price. This makes sense for customers who already own a controller. Simply select the "No controller" option in the menu above. For more demanding firing programs, other compatible controllers are available upon request.
