Paragon CT102329 10 Sided Kiln
The Paragon CT102329JANUS can fire both pottery and glass. Heating elements are mounted in the lid and sidewalls. Select between glass and pottery with the flip of a switch. With the switch in the glass position, heat comes from the top elements and the middle sidewall element. With the switch in the pottery position, heat comes from only the sidewall elements.
In the glass mode, fuse and sag large glass projects are placed on a single shelf. In the pottery mode, fire to cone 10. You can also fire several shelves of smaller glass pieces using the pottery mode.
The elements in the lid are mounted in a firebrick “ball” groove that eliminates element pins. The element coils are wider than the groove opening, so the elements stay in place without pins. The groove dissipates heat efficiently.
The lid on the CT102329JANUS is easy to lift with the exclusive, patented Paragon spring counter-balance. For easier maintenance, we use 2” high blank wall bricks in the top row. Since the brick is without element grooves, it is less susceptible to damage during loading.
Will you anneal glass for long periods in your CT102329JANUS?
The patented control box on the CT102329JANUS opens forward for easy maintenance. A folding support arm holds the box in the open position.
The CT102329JANUS control box is finished in a durable high temperature, water-base blue paint. We use water-based paint because of the low emissions during spraying. This creates a safer working environment for our employees and cuts down on pollution.
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 thermocouple is protected with a high-nickel stainless steel sheath for long life.
Large, tapered peepholes offer a wide view of the firing chamber with little heat loss. The peepholes, both sides of the lid, and the top rim of sidewall firebrick are hardened and sealed with a special refractory coating to protect the ware from dust
