Discover Expanded Firing Capabilities with the Olympic Kilns TopHat 2827E

Designed for Artists Requiring a Larger, More Versatile Kiln

The Olympic Kilns TopHat 2827E Electric Kiln is built for those who need the extra space and flexibility to bring their ceramic and glass projects to life. With an expansive firing chamber of 28 ¼" wide by 27" deep, this kiln is perfect for larger creations or high-volume studios. Whether you're crafting intricate sculptures or experimenting with new glazing techniques, the TopHat 2827E provides the space and precision needed to achieve consistent, high-quality results.

Built for Durability and Efficiency

Engineered to stand up to the demands of continuous studio use, the TopHat 2827E features 3" thick brick construction for exceptional heat retention and insulation. The kiln's rugged welded frame and stainless steel exterior ensure long-lasting durability, while the specially designed lid element ensures even heat distribution—making it a reliable choice for both ceramic and glass artists. From start to finish, the TopHat 2827E provides a smooth and consistent firing experience you can count on.

Advanced Control with the Digital KilnStar Controller

The TopHat 2827E comes equipped with the Digital KilnStar controller, a user-friendly interface designed to give you precise control over your firing schedules. Easily program and monitor each stage of your firing process to ensure every project turns out exactly as you envision. The controller features programmable segments, delay start options, preheat settings, and adjustable hold times, providing the flexibility to create custom firing profiles that meet your exact needs.

For even greater control and convenience, consider upgrading to the Genesis Touchscreen controller. This advanced system enhances your firing capabilities with its intuitive full-color display, real-time temperature tracking, and the ability to store expanded firing programs. The Genesis makes complex firing sequences easier to manage, giving you more control over your creative process.

Optimize Performance with Solid State Relays

The TopHat 2827E offers the option of Solid State Relays for improved performance and longevity. These advanced relays ensure rapid, accurate temperature adjustments and distribute heat evenly throughout the kiln. They also extend the life of the kiln elements and reduce maintenance needs, providing more efficient and reliable operation over time.

Safety Features and Convenient Design

Safety is a priority in the design of the TopHat 2827E. An optional Automatic Lid Shutoff feature is available, ensuring that power to the heating elements is automatically cut off when the lid is opened, giving you added peace of mind during firings. Optional caster wheels allow for easy mobility around your workspace, giving you the flexibility to rearrange your studio as needed.

Maximize Your Kiln's Potential with a Custom Furniture Kit

Take full advantage of the TopHat 2827E’s generous firing space with a specially designed furniture kit. Including shelves, posts, kiln wash, and essential tools, this kit helps support your pieces during firing, ensuring even heat distribution and flawless results.
