Paragon Industries has announced some exciting changes in their legendary top loading Ceramic and Pottery kilns starting in February of 2025.

The standard “TNF” Series kilns have received new Model/Part numbers.  But while these kilns are known by another name, they’re just as well built, and even more reliable now than ever!  Some upgrades:

·         All top-loading Ceramic and Pottery Kilns are built with 3” thick firebrick.  The 3-inch firebrick ensures efficient firing up to Cone 10.  Another advantage of 3” brick is that they help with element life, as the elements don’t “struggle” to reach temperatures.

·         All top-loading ceramic and pottery kilns are equipped with Solid State relays, while the Viking Series kilns use Mercury Relays.  Solid State and Mercury Relays provide extremely long-term reliability compared to standard Mechanical Relays.  Backup Mechanical Relays are installed as well.

·         An Auxiliary Power Outlet (AOP) is now standard on all Paragon top-loading Ceramic and Pottery kilns.   The AOP provides power for a kiln vent.  An Orton VentMaster Kiln Vent is recommended for all top loading kilns but is optional with your purchase.  Should you decide to add a Vent in the future, the kiln is already drilled for a Vent, and a Vent can be attached and programmed through the Touch Screen Sentinel Controller to operate without requiring a separate electric source. 

The Touch Screen TnF-82-3 Paragon kiln is large enough for most ceramic projects. Figured at cost per cubic foot, it is among our lowest priced kilns. .

This kiln features the easy-access drop down switch box. Remove two screws, and the box, hinged at the bottom, opens forward for easy maintenance. The 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 TnF-82-3 is made of 3” thick firebrick in the lid, walls and bottom. It is a Cone-10 kiln designed for porcelain, stoneware, low-fire ceramics, china paint, annealing, and decals and gold.

The Optional Furniture Kit

The optional furniture kit consists of carefully selected cordeirite shelves and posts for this particular model. When estimating the price of the kiln, include the cost of furniture. The furniture allows you to stack multiple layers of ware. Without it, you could fire only the ware that would fit on the kiln bottom.
