The Viking-28 is a 12-sided 3" wall digital kiln. It
features sectional construction. Separate the 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 Viking-28 is 2" high and without element
grooves. It is less susceptible to damage during loading than a grooved
brick.
Viking kilns are designed for extra heavy-duty firing and high
temperatures. They are similar to our standard studio kilns but with
these additional features:
All Vikings are digital. As with the TnF studio kilns, they feature the
Sentry 12-key controller, easy access switch box, " amp fuse, and
LiteLid. But in addition, they use heavy-duty mercury relays instead of
our standard mechanical relays. Mercury relays outlast the standard
mechanical contactor relays by a wide margin. The Vikings have power to
spare. They are 14,400 watt kilns and fire on a 70 amp, 240 volt
circuit. (Note: we can also make these kilns for international
electrical systems.) UL/CUL & NEC compliant high amperage fuses protect
the kiln and circuit wiring. These fuses are built into the kiln switch
box.
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.
Exclusive LiteLid Spring Counter-Balance
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.
Easy Access Switch Box
Hinged at the bottom, the switch box on the Viking-28 opens forward for
easy maintenance. A folding support arm holds the box in the open
position. The Sentry is mounted at the top of the switch box within easy
reach. Operate it from a comfortable position.
Kiln Stand with Extra Support
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 is
rock-steady, with 16 gauge frame and heavy 12 gauge legs.
If you move your kiln out of the way when not in use, order an optional
deluxe kiln stand with steel casters.
