The Kilncare IKON V100 is not an entry-level kiln. It is a precision-engineered, British-built studio workhorse designed for serious ceramic artists, education departments, and professional makers who demand long-term reliability.

Manufactured in Stoke-on-Trent, the historic heart of British ceramics, the IKON V100 reflects true kiln craftsmanship — built with premium materials, advanced insulation, and professional-grade safety systems as standard.

With a generous 104 litre capacity, a maximum temperature of 1315°C, and a powerful 7.3kW output, the IKON V100 handles stoneware, porcelain, earthenware, and technical firing cycles with complete confidence.

Engineered for Thermal Efficiency & Longevity

At the core of the IKON V100 is its triple-layer insulation system:

• 75mm K23 low thermal mass firebrick

• High-grade body soluble fibre

• Micropore insulation layer

This engineered combination dramatically improves heat retention, reduces energy loss, and supports consistent temperature stability throughout the chamber.

The firing chamber and lid are reinforced with 304 stainless steel, offering corrosion resistance and structural longevity far beyond hobby-grade kilns.

Precision Heating & Component Quality

The IKON V100 uses Kanthal A1 elements seated in precision grooved brickwork, ensuring:

• Even heat distribution

• Reduced element stress

• Extended operational life

Switching is managed through Solid State Relay (SSR) technology, delivering near-silent operation and significantly longer component lifespan compared to mechanical relays.

A Type R thermocouple provides exceptional temperature accuracy and durability at high firing ranges — essential for consistent glaze and porcelain results.

Professional Safety Systems

Safety is built into the kiln’s architecture:

• Dual contactors

• Independent over-temperature monitoring

• Adjustable upper and lower vents for controlled atmosphere management

• High-capacity lockable castors for secure positioning

This is equipment designed for education environments and continuous studio operation — not occasional hobby use.

---

KCR32C Controller – Included as Standard

The IKON V100 comes equipped with the KCR32C controller, providing:

• 32 programmable programs

• 32 segments per program

• Full ramp, hold, and cooling control

• Integrated power usage display for firing cost calculation

For advanced monitoring, optional KCR32C WIFI and KCR32CWIFISOLAR upgrades allow remote access via the Kilncare GATEway app (Android & Apple compatible), enabling real-time kiln monitoring from anywhere.
