Paragon Pearl-22 Glass Fusing Kiln
Create breathtaking glass in the deluxe
Pearl-22 Professional Series glass kiln. The Pearl-22 is proudly made in
America by skilled workers. The kiln includes features not found on
competitive kilns.
The Paragon Pearl 22 kiln top lifts away to give access to the shelf area. Air pistons assist in lifting the top of this glass fusing kiln. You can place the Pearl Paragon kiln on a table without an extra stand.
“You can compose directly on the kiln shelf,
then close the kiln top,” said glass artist Judith Conway, who uses the
Pearl-18 in her Washington, DC studio. “There is no need to balance and
carry a heavy kiln shelf from your work table over to your kiln, trying
to load the shelf in the kiln while not disturbing the glass pieces in
your design.”
The elements in the top are mounted in pinless
element grooves. Since the groove opening is narrower than the element
coil, the elements stay in place without pins. This is one more reason your Paragon Pearl 22 kiln will give you hassle-free firing. Enjoy the improved heat distribution of a side element, which is mounted in the top section of the glass fusing kiln sidewalls.
Electrical components are mounted inside the base of the electric glass kiln. Costly heavy-gauge nickel-plated copper wiring is
covered with high temperature glass-braided insulation. The
thermocouple, which senses temperature inside the kiln, is protected
with a high-nickel stainless steel sheath for long life. The Paragon Pearl 22 kiln uses the digital 12-key Sentry 2.0 controller.
A mercury relay is standard on this kiln. The
relay sends power to the elements on command from the digital
controller. The mercury relay in the Paragon Pearl 22 kiln is industrial-grade and far outlasts mechanical relays. The life of the quiet, reliable mercury
relay has been measured in millions of on/off cycles.
You will be amazed at the convenience of digital firing. The reliable solid-state Sentry controller
continually monitors the firing so you can spend your time productively
without closely watching the kiln. (Please remember, however, to check
the kiln during firing and to monitor it near the expected shutoff
time.) The sealed touch pad keeps out dust and is easy to wipe clean.
Paragon’s
innovative controller will help you achieve consistent results from one
firing to the next. The controller has powerful features that you will
enjoy using. Yet we have also worked hard to make the controller
user-friendly.
Do you ever wonder how much electricity your
kiln uses? The digital controller can figure this for you with the
press of a button. Find out how little a kiln actually costs to fire.
The Pearl-22 has a durable high temperature,
water-base finish. We chose water-base paint because of the low
emissions during spraying. This creates a safer working environment for
our employees and cuts down on pollution.
