The Trifecta Glass Crucible Kiln
This Paragon kiln for sale will take you to a new level of production. It holds three crucibles, which you
can access through three 9” holes in the lid. Enjoy the freedom of
mixing custom glass colors. Make huge glass figurines, paperweights,
blown vessels, stringers, and much more. Pull your own neon tubing. Make
glass castings. The Trifecta Glass Crucible Kiln is a glass blower’s dream kiln, designed by glass blowers. This kiln is pure celebration.
Crucible Covers, Extra Wall Insulation, K-25 Firebricks
The three crucible holes each include a
firebrick crucible cover with wooden handle. The lid is held in place
with four T-handle spring latches. (The lid does not have a hinge.) Four
hand lifts are mounted to the lid.
The 3” thick, high temperature K-25
firebrick walls are wrapped with ceramic fiber blanket between the
firebricks and stainless steel case. As with the walls, the K-25
firebrick lid and bottom are 3” thick, which is 20% thicker than the
standard 2 1/2” firebrick. The extra insulation and heavy-duty elements
are designed for very long heat soaks. Check the crucibles through the
peephole, which is tapered for easy viewing. Four hand lifts aid in
moving the kiln.
Platinum Thermocouple, Industrial Mercury Relay
The deluxe S-Type platinum thermocouple with
ceramic protection tube is standard on all Trifecta kilns. This deluxe,
hassle-free thermocouple far outlasts the standard K-Type for your
peace of mind.
A mercury relay, ideal for long firings, is standard on the Paragon Trifecta. (The relay sends power from the controller to
the heating elements.) The industrial mercury relay in this kiln
outlasts mechanical relays. The life of the quiet, reliable mercury
relay has been measured in millions of on/off cycles.
Separate Bottom, Steel Base Plate, 9” Stand
The Trifecta Glass Crucible Kiln has a separate bottom section held in place with four T-handle spring latches. Should a crucible crack
during firing and leak glass onto the firebrick bottom, merely replace
the damaged bottom section. With the detachable bottom, you won’t worry
about damage from a crucible “incident.”
A 9” tall kiln stand is included at no extra
charge. The stand is complete with mar-proof plastic feet. A heavy
galvanized steel base covers the reversible brick bottom completely. It
folds up under the stainless case on all sides to strengthen the firing
chamber. This is one more assurance that your reliable Paragon kiln is
built to last.
A Convenient Digital Controller
The Trifecta Glass Crucible Kiln includes the Sentry Xpress digital controller. Because of the extended holds at high temperatures,
the controller is in a separate wall-mounted panel and attached to the
kiln with 6’ cables. This keeps the controller away from the heat for
longer life. Program the digital controller for the exact consistency of
glass melt that you desire. Enjoy predictable results. You can also use
the kiln for pottery or glass fusing. The kiln comes with a one year
warranty. (Please note: Due to the long firing cycles of a crucible
kiln, the warranty does not cover the heating elements.)
The Paragon Trifecta Kiln has three elements. If one
element burns out, the kiln will still have 2/3 of its original power.
This may not be enough to keep the glass molten, but it might give the
glass blower additional time to use up the glass and save the crucible.
You will know an element burned out because you will see a drop in
temperature.
Quality Components
Wires are fastened to the elements with
heat-dissipating connectors refined and proven over many years in
Paragon kilns. Elements are coiled from the finest high-temperature wire
available. The Trifecta control box is finished in a durable high
temperature, water-base blue paint, which releases low emissions in the
factory during spraying. This creates a safer working environment for
our employees and cuts down on pollution.
And, of course, this Paragon kiln for sale is made in America by skilled workers. Many of them have been
with Paragon for over a decade. Paragon is proud to be an
employee-focused company.
