The Trifecta Crucible Kiln
The Trifecta glass blower’s kiln will take you to a new level of
production. It holds three crucibles, which you can access through three
9” holes in the lid. Enjoy the freedom of mixing custom glass colors.
Make huge glass figurines, paperweights, blown vessels, stringers, and
much more. Pull your own neon tubing. Make glass castings. The Trifecta
is a glass blower’s dream kiln, designed by glass blowers. This kiln is
pure celebration.
Crucible Covers, Extra Wall Insulation, K-25 Firebricks
The three crucible holes each include a firebrick crucible cover with
wooden handle. The lid is held in place with four T-handle spring
latches. (The lid does not have a hinge.) Four hand lifts are mounted to
the lid.
The 3” thick, high temperature K-25 firebrick walls are wrapped with
ceramic fiber blanket between the firebricks and stainless steel case.
As with the walls, the K-25 firebrick lid and bottom are 3” thick, which
is 20% thicker than the standard 2 1/2” firebrick. The extra insulation
and heavy-duty elements are designed for very long heat soaks. Check the
crucibles through the peephole, which is tapered for easy viewing. Four
hand lifts aid in moving the kiln.
Platinum Thermocouple, Industrial Mercury Relay
The deluxe S-Type platinum thermocouple with ceramic protection tube is
standard on all Trifecta kilns. This deluxe, hassle-free thermocouple
far outlasts the standard K-Type for your peace of mind.
A mercury relay, ideal for long firings, is standard on the Trifecta.
(The relay sends power from the controller to the heating elements.) The
industrial mercury relay in this kiln outlasts mechanical relays. The
life of the quiet, reliable mercury relay has been measured in millions
of on/off cycles.
Separate Bottom, Steel Base Plate, 9” Stand
The Trifecta has a separate bottom section held in place with four
T-handle spring latches. Should a crucible crack during firing and leak
glass onto the firebrick bottom, merely replace the damaged bottom
section. With the detachable bottom, you won’t worry about damage from a
crucible “incident.”
A 9” tall kiln stand is included at no extra charge. The stand is
complete with mar-proof plastic feet. 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 reliable Paragon kiln is built to last.
