Alpine Kilns: Precision, Performance, and Reliability

For over 60 years, Alpine has been a leader in high-performance kiln manufacturing, known for superior craftsmanship, durability, and state-of-the-art controls. Built with heavy-duty steel and lined with 2800°F insulating firebrick, Alpine kilns provide excellent heat retention, energy efficiency, and precise firing results. Whether gas or electric, each kiln is designed with advanced safety features, customizable controls, and long-term reliability—many have been in continuous use for decades.

Alpine Gas Kilns

Alpine gas kilns are engineered for ceramicists who need powerful, efficient firing with fine-tuned atmospheric control. Featuring forced draft burner systems, these kilns provide even heat distribution, faster firing cycles, and up to 50% fuel savings compared to traditional designs. Their automatic electronic flame ignition system ensures safety by re-igniting the pilot flame if it goes out. Alpine gas kilns are ideal for both oxidation and reduction firing. Many older models can also be upgraded with modern control systems.

Alpine Electric Kilns

For those who prefer electric firing, Alpine electric kilns offer precision and ease of use with advanced digital controls. They reach temperatures up to 2350°F (cone 10) and are suitable for use in studios, schools, and industrial applications. Front-loading designs with smooth, hinged doors allow for easy loading and secure sealing. Solid-state relays, programmable controllers, and automatic shutoff features enhance reliability and safety. Like their gas counterparts, these kilns can be retrofitted with modern components to extend their lifespan and meet evolving safety standards.
