Paragon Super Dragon - gently used 18 months
Our Sale Price $5900.00 RETAIL $9850.00
The Super Dragon is an industrial furnace designed for pottery
and ceramic studios. And considering its features, it is surprisingly
affordable especially at this sale price.
The Super Dragon exudes power. Its 21,600
watts heat the 27” wide, 27” deep, 36” high interior to cone 10 with
ample power to spare. This results in long element life, because the
elements do not “struggle” to reach high temperatures. Dropped, recessed
grooves seat industrial-gauge elements.
Extra insulation saves energy and lengthens
cooling. The 4” thick walls, top and door are made of 3” firebrick
backed by 1” of ceramic fiber block insulation. The floor is 4 ½” thick
firebrick. The extra insulation not only saves energy but also cools the
kiln slowly without having to turn the elements back on. This gives the
micro-crystalline structure and color of the glaze sufficient time for
full development. Cool slowly to achieve dramatic shifts in glaze color
such as iron reds and enjoy the richer look of gas firing. Create
breathtaking pottery in the exciting Super Dragon.
The elements are “tuned,” which means hotter
elements are placed in areas of the firing chamber that need more heat.
This results in superior heat distribution.
The Sentry 2.0 digital controller is
standard on Paragon front-loading pottery kilns. Results are repeatable
from one firing to the next with astounding accuracy. The solid-state
controller continually monitors the firing. This is almost like hiring
an assistant.
Do you ever wonder how much electricity your
kiln uses? The digital controller will figure this for you; merely
program the kiln’s wattage and your cost of electricity into the
controller. Learn to conserve energy by experimenting with firing speed,
load density, etc.
The Type-K thermocouple, hermetically sealed
for accuracy, is standard. We also recommend the optional Type-S for
stoneware and porcelain.
Long-lasting mercury relays power the
elements. A bank of built-in NEC/UL compliant high-amperage fuses
protects the kiln and circuit wiring. Potters who struggle with
top-loading kilns will enjoy the Super Dragon. The door swings open wide
on a heavy hinges with sealed bearings. The Super Dragon has a floating
door system with four spring door latches. The door hinge is fastened to
a 2” tubular steel frame that extends from the floor to the top of the
kiln. The latches press the door tightly closed.
The ventilated switch box is generously
louvered for air circulation for the long life of the electrical
components. Yet dust is kept to a minimum.
The stand is built into the Super Dragon and
comes at no extra charge. (Note: Casters are not available for the Super
Dragon.)
Doorway Clearance
The Super Dragon will fit through a 42”
doorway.
Order the optional Orton Vent Master, which
mounts to the back of the kiln. (Note: Door elements and stainless steel
finish are not available on the Super Dragon.)
