The GL-series kilns from Paragon are made for years of rigorous firing, as artists all over America can attest. The insulating firebrick, wrapped in heavy-gauge steel, soak up heat for slow, efficient cooling. A double heat shield and air gap between the kiln and ventilated switch box help keep electrical components cool for long, trouble-free service. 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 GL-series lid elements use an element groove that eliminate the need for element pins. The element coils are wider than the groove opening, so the elements stay in place. The GL-18ADTSD digital kiln fires from the top, three sides, and door for unsurpassed heat distribution. The firing chamber is 18 inches wide x 21 inches deep x 13 inches high. Use the side heat for taller projects such as drop-out vases sagged through a ring mold. Side elements, seated in dropped, recessed brick grooves, span the three walls.
The spring-pressure latch and a 1/2 inch recess around the edge of the firebrick door keep the door tightly closed. The door remains rock-steady on a heavy hinge shaft. Four hand lifts aid moving. The base is open in the back and slotted to dissipate heat.
Watch the red-hot glass through two tapered peepholes, drilled one above the other in the wall opposite the switch box. Peephole plugs are included.
A stand, data port and auxiliary output are available as add-on options.
