During busy seasons when orders are backlogged, you will be grateful you own a dependable Paragon kiln such as the CT102329 TnF-24-3. Studio owners call these kilns real work horses.
Paragon studio kilns have withstood years of abuse in school environments. High school ceramics teachers fire these kilns unmercifully, without remorse. Yet the kilns keep going. People swear by them.
The Paragon CT102329 TNF 243 studio kiln features sectional construction. Separate the 240-volt kiln bottom and sections to repair bricks, change elements, or to move the kiln down narrow stairwells or through the narrowest doorways. Twist-lock spring latches hold the assembled collars securely.
The top row of brick in the Paragon TNF 243 studio kiln is 2 high and without element grooves. It is less susceptible to damage during loading than a grooved brick.
Hinged at the bottom, the switch box on 8, 10 & 12 sided digital Paragon kilns opens forward for easy maintenance. A folding support arm holds the box in the open position. (See photo on cover.) The Sentry is mounted at the top of the switch box within easy reach. Operate your 240-volt kiln from a comfortable position.
The 10-sided Paragon TNF 243 studio kiln comes in deluxe 3 thick sidewalls, lid and bottom. The 3 brick is 20% thicker than the standard 2 brick. For porcelain or stoneware, order the TnF-24-3, rated to 2350F.
The massive lid is easy to lift with Paragon’s patented LiteLid, which does away with cumbersome pulleys and cords and reduces lid weight to only several pounds of pressure. Most people can lift the lid with one hand. Unlike pulleys and weights, the LiteLid is self-contained on the 240-volt kiln. No need to drill holes in the ceiling for pulleys. The LiteLid sharply reduces wear between the lid and top rim of firebrick. The truss and floating lid allow expansion of the lid. Ask competitors if their lid spring includes a truss and floating lid.
Something to consider if you already own a 12-sided kiln: Why purchase a 10-sided kiln such as the TnF-24-3 when you produce enough ware to fill a 12-sided kiln? It is because some ware fires more efficiently in a 10-sided kiln. Example: 10- and 12-sided kilns both fire four 10 wide bowls per shelf. When you own both sizes of kilns, you can choose the most efficient kiln for each size of ware. The 10-sided kiln is a good choice for those whose production depends on short firing cycles. Since 10-sided kilns are smaller than 12-sided, they can heat and cool faster. The 10-sided shelves are lighter than the 12-sided, and easier to lift.
Other Features of the 240-Volt Kiln
The Optional Furniture Kit (not included)
The furniture kit consists of carefully selected fireclay shelves and posts for the Paragon TNF 243 studio kiln. When estimating the price of the kiln, include the cost of furniture. The furniture allows you to stack multiple layers of ware. Without it, you could fire only the ware that would fit on the bottom of the 240-volt kiln.
