The Paragon Dragon is an Industrial-Grade furnace designed for multiple Industrial purposes, and for pottery and ceramic classrooms and studios. Those who struggle with top-loading kilns should choose the Dragon. The door swings open 160 degrees on a heavy ¾” steel rod with sealed bearings. Two spring-loaded latches press the door tightly closed.
The Dragon Paragon Furnace is available in all voltage/phase configurations used in the US. It is available with either single zone temperature control, or 3-Zone temp control. It can also be built with an Orton VentMaster Kiln Vent installed.
Exceptional element life
The Dragon exudes power. With 16,500 watts, there is ample power to heat the 24” W x 24” D x 27” H interior to cone 10 (2350F). Having power to spare improves element life, because the elements do not struggle to reach high temperatures. The industrial-gauge heating elements are seated and protected in dropped, recessed grooves.
The elements are “tuned,” which means hotter elements are placed in the top and bottom of the firing chamber where more heat is needed. This results in superior heat distribution.
Hinged switch box for easy maintenance
The ventilated switch box is generously slotted for air circulation for the long life of the electrical components. Hinged at the bottom, the switch box opens wide for easy maintenance. Open the box in seconds by merely removing two screws at the top. A folding support arm holds the box in the open position. There is plenty of working space around electrical components. A bank of built-in NEC/UL compliant high-amperage fuses protects the kiln and circuit wiring.
The Dragon will fit through a 34” doorway if the handles and back element cover are temporarily removed.
