Classic-Line

CB Electric Top-Loader

CLASSIC-LINE model series CB electric top-loader up to 1,350 °C or 1,380 °C

KITTEC kilns in the CB model series are manufactured in small batch production and offer excellent price / performance ratio. This series is a redesign of the highly successful CB series, with which KITTEC was one of the first in Europe to launch a top-loader range in 1979.

Characteristics of the CB series


Wide opening angle (> 90°) for easy loading with reinforced lid frame for selected top-loaders

Two-layer insulation: Lightweight refractory brick + high-quality, ceramic fibre-free insulation


Heating elements on all sides for even heat distribution

Heating elements protected in grooves


On some models, the combustion chamber can be enlarged by means of an extension ring with its own heating elements.

Gas pressure spring support for easier lid opening (from CB 70)


Lid prop for accelerated cooling phases

Further features of model series CB:

  • Powder-coated base – in your choice of one of five colours
  • Stainless steel fastening clamps, welded on – rust-proof and easy moving
  • Continuous mortar-free brick lining reduces cracking
  • Exhaust cowl at right-hand side, protected from condensation
  • Lid lock (with lockable eyelet)
  • Reversible base for two possible working heights
  • Useful handles for secure and quick transport

CLASSIC-LINE model series CB:

  • CB Plus models contain high-quality and innovative premium insulation in the sides and the base, in addition to the lightweight refractory brick
  • CB Double models make lower energy consumption possible thanks to a three-layer insulation (lightweight refractory brick + double innovative premium insulation in the sides and the base), and therefore achieves considerably higher firing temperatures than comparable 230 V models.
  • CB S models are constructed for high current operation.
  • CB SX models provide more output, and the service life of the heating elements is increased at the same time because of the optimum utilisation of the kiln output.
  • CB extension rings (with own heating elements) make it possible to extend certain CB models to have bigger firing chambers.

Optionally available:


Lid heating

ESP Energy Saving Package


Inspection hole in door (including bung)


Hearth air inlet slide valve

Other available options:

  • Semiconductor relay (noiseless)
    An electronic semiconductor relay is used instead of the electric contactor,
    and makes noiseless switching procedures possible during firing.
  • Maximum temperature 1,350 °C or 1,380 °C
    Bricks, heating elements and insulation designed for 1,350 °C or 1,380 °C
  • Different controllers available
  • Different controllers available
  • Transport castors (BASIC up to 120 kg and PROFESSIONAL up to 400 kg, 2 of the 4 castors have a locking brake)
  • Exhaust air opening on the left instead of on the right
  • Flexible exhaust pipe
  • Levelling feet for compensating for floor unevenness

Additional capacity with extension rings

The KITTEC CLASSIC-LINE extension rings (with own heating elements) for the CB and SQ model series bring additional volume and therefore more space and flexibility. Upgrading from a CB 70 S to a CB 100 S adds 34 liters of volume, 230 mm of height, and 3.0 kW of power. The divisibility of these extendible or extended models makes transport through the narrowest of door openings possible (from door width of 50 cm). The extension rings are currently available for the following CLASSIC-LINE kilns: CB 70 S, CB 80 S, CB 95 S, CB 130 S plus, CB 130 SX, CB 200 S, SQ 90 S, SQ 150 S.
