RAKU Kilns

RAKU is centuries-old Japanese firing technique that brings a lot of pleasure. Our Nabertherm RAKU 100 chamber kiln was developed to ensure that you can experience the joy of firing your unique works of art up close.

Being able to load the kiln from the front gives you a clear view of how to arrange the art works to be fired. The door can be opened easily facing away from the user while the kiln is still hot.

Unloading the ceramics while they are hot makes the firing process a real event. By quickly cooling the ceramics and covering them with material such as leaves, straw or sawdust reduces the glaze. This produces wonderful color shades and the distinctive surface crackle that give every work of art a unique character.

Standard Equipment

• High-quality, low-storage insulation for short heating times
• Special flame system for good temperature uniformity
• Positioning of the gas burner under the kiln resulting in centralized heat transfer to the charge
• Propane gas burner  with cylinder connection
• Set of furniture
• Temperature measurement device incl. thermocouple
• Adjustable door with an opening angle of approx. 270°
• Environmentally friendly, durable powder-coated housing
• Exclusive use of insulation materials without categorization according to EC Regulation No 1272/2008 (CLP). This explicitly means that alumino silicate wool, also known as “refractory ceramic fiber” (RCF), which is classified and possibly carcinogenic, is not used.
• Defined application within the constraints of the operating instructions

Technically sophisticated, but also full of emotion and personal experience – enjoy the art of RAKU firing with the RAKU 100!
