Bailey
Pottery is proud to offer kilns from Paragon Manufacturing.
Paragon has
manufactured high quality kilns since 1948 and have
manufactured over 380,000 kilns for ceramics, pottery, heat
treating, enameling, glass fusing and much more.
Every Paragon
kiln is ergonomically designed with you in
mind so you get a continually reliable kiln that is easy to
use. They offer many ceramic, pottery, and glass front
loading kilns that make loading easy. All Paragon large
top-loading kilns come standard with a patented Lite Lid
system. You can lift the lid with two fingers. All of
their digital kilns use controllers from Orton Ceramics
because of the easy to read display and ease of
programming.
Paragon
manufactures kilns that produce consistent, repeatable
firings to eliminate wasted materials and time. Every
element is designed with the heaviest gauge wire available
for long element life. Further, the elements in every model
are tuned to produce even heat distribution. We have found
the digital controllers from Orton to be the most reliable
in the industry. Paragon warranties the Orton Sentry 2.0
controller for 2-1/2 years. Every kiln must pass a
15-step quality control inspection before it is shipped to
you. |
|
|
|
You can change
elements in minutes with Paragon's crimpless element
connectors; recessed grooves hold the elements of most
models without pins. The digital controller can be removed
in minutes for upgrade or repair. Included is a wiring
diagram and instruction manual with each model. |

|
Caldera
kilns (C-260-CA, C-260-CA-S) |
|
The Caldera
kilns feature 2-1/2" insulating refractory firebricks,
dropped, recessed brick grooves, louvered switch box, heavy
duty wiring, 4- 2x2 firebricks included with each kiln,
to be placed under the kiln during firing. The Caldera Test
kiln comes with a digital 3 key controller. The Caldera S
comes with an infinite switch and pyrometer. The bead collar
adds 4-1/2" of height and still fires to 2000 F/1093 C,
the collar has a 7-1/2" x 2 door for annealing glass
beads.

|
Dragon
kiln (C-260-DRG) |
|
The Dragon
kiln is an
economical front-loading electric kiln with power to spare.
The Dragon will fit thru a 34 door if kiln door handles and
element cover are removed. Standard features include: 4
walls (3 brick and 1 fiber block) top and door,
4-1/2" firebrick floor, Sentry 2.0 controller (1 zone),
mercury relays, industrial gauge elements, and (2) 1 spy
holes. Price does not include the stand.
|
|
FUSION
10 KILN (C-260-FSN-10) |
|
Paragons
new Fusion
series digital hot glass kilns are packed with exciting
features. The Fusion-series lid elements use a new element
groove that eliminates element pins. The element coils are
wider than the groove opening, so the elements stay in place
without pins. 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. The digital Sentry Xpress 3 key controller comes
standard on all Fusion-series kilns. Control both heating and
cooling with simple 3-key operation.

QUICKFIRE
6 KILN (c-260-QF6) |
|
Paragon QuikFire
6
From Zero to 1000°F in Five Minutes! The
QuikFire 6 brings instant gratification to ceramics, glass
fusing, enameling, silver, and china painting. Small glass
pieces can be fired and cooled to room temperature in only 30
to 40 minutes. Small ceramic pieces take only 40 to 50
minutes. No more waiting to fill your larger kiln to test-fire
a new technique or new glaze. The QuikFire is a ceramic fiber
shell with an embedded element. It measures 6" x 6"
x 6" inside. The shell rests on a ceramic fiber base with
steel stand. The QuikFire is rated to 2000°F. It fires on 120
volts and needs no other heating source. At only 1560 watts,
it uses less power than many hair driers. To see how your work
is progressing, tilt the shell up an inch for several seconds.
Read temperature at a glance with the built-in pyrometer,
which indicates when to start watching the ware inside the
kiln.You can make projects faster with two or more shelves. As
the kiln is firing, prepare your next project on the spare
shelf in the furniture kit. Remove the first shelf and insert
the second. Leave items on the hot shelf that need slow
cooling. The shelf keeps the pieces warm.

Viking
kilns (C-260-V24, C-260-V28) |
|
The Viking
kilns are designed for heavy use and high temperatures. Each
draws 60 amps (240V/1Ph version) for plenty of power and long
element life. Both feature the 12 key Sentry 2.0 controller,
easy-access switch box and mercury relays and a lite-lid
spring balanced hinge system. The Viking 24 is a 10 sided kiln
with 3 walls and single section construction. The Viking 28
is a 12 sided kiln with 3 walls and and sectional
construction for easy clearance through doorways. The top row
of no element grooves makes it much less susceptible to damage
during loading and unloading.
|
|
TnF
Series kilns (C-260-T233, C-260-T243, C-260-T273, C-260-T823) |
|
These
TnF

listed below are constructed in one-piece except the TnF-27-3
which features sectional construction with twist-lock spring
latches to hold the collars securely and a 2 top ring of
solid fire brick with no element grooves for added durability.

SC-2
WITH BEAD DOOR |
|
The
Paragon
SC-2
Silver & Glass Kiln with Bead Door and Window fires silver
clay, decals, china paint, enameling, and glass in minutes up
to 2000°F and plugs into a standard 120 volt household
outlet. It fires automatically at the rate and temperature you
enter. A large, brightly lit display prompts for firing rate,
temperature and hold time. Use the hold feature to
automatically soak any type of clay silver to its recommended
time.
The
6-1/2 wide bead door includes a brushed stainless steel
mandrel holder. The 1 x 3 window is beveled for a wide
view of the kiln interior. The high-tech ceramic fiber firing
chamber is wrapped in a steel inner case. The outer steel case
remains cool due to the layer of air between it and the inner
case. In addition, the case is slotted for air circulation.
Electrical components, located in the base, stay cool even at
extended hold times. The fast-firing element is embedded in
the firing chamber shell. The SC-2 heats from the sides and
back. The top vent comes complete with a tapered plug for lost
wax casting. Each SC-2 includes a 1/4 thick ceramic fiber
shelf.
