If you have difficulty loading deep kilns, we recommend
the 22 "" deep TnF-23-3. If you need extra firing capacity in a short
kiln, consider the 12-sided TnF-27-3.
During busy seasons when orders are backlogged, you will be grateful you
own a dependable Paragon kiln such as the TnF-23-3. 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 10-sided TnF-23-3 comes in deluxe 3" thick sidewalls, lid and
bottom. This is 20% thicker than the standard 2 "" thick bricks. Since
the TnF-23-3 is designed to fire porcelain and stoneware, it will easily
handle low-fire ware.
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
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.
This kiln features a top row of 2" high blank wall bricks. Since the
brick is without element grooves, it is less susceptible to damage
during loading than a grooved brick.
The 24" wide stand for 10 & 12-sided kilns supports the brick bottom
with framing that is 4 "" wide across the top of each side. The stand
accommodates the Orton KilnVent. The stand is rock-steady, with 16-gauge
frame and heavy 12-gauge legs.
If you move your TnF-23-3 kiln out of the way when not in use, order an
optional deluxe kiln stand with steel casters.
Something to consider if you already own a 12-sided kiln: Why purchase a
10-sided kiln such as the TnF-23-3 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.
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
Paragon kiln is built to last.
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.
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. Learn to conserve energy by
experimenting with firing speed, load density, etc.
