Paragon Pearl 22

Clamshell Perfection

List Price $2440.00

Dogwood Ceramic Supply's Discounted Price $1635.00

    The Paragon Pearl-22 is nearly identical to the smaller Paragon Pearl-18, except the Pearl-22 has increased chamber size and has been upgraded to the Sentry 2.0 12-Key Digital Controller.

    Like the Pearl-18, the clamshell design of the Paragon Pearl-22 Kiln allows for easy loading and assembly of glass projects at the eye level of the user inside the kiln chamber with access from 3 sides.  As the Pearl 22 is larger than the Pearl-18 the access from 3 sides can be very important as it allows the user easier access to the rear of the kiln. The voluminous top section includes a side wall element.  The voluminous top section will retain heat during firing stages when the kiln is open for working with the hot glass, while the added sidewall element will help to reheat the chamber to restore any heat that was lost while the kiln was open.

    The Paragon Pearl-22 has a 22" x 22" x 13" chamber size that is big enough to handle large glass projects or several smaller projects.  The top of the Pearl-22 can be clamped down during firing or for ease of the moving the kiln.  While the air pistons on the Pearl-22 are extremely helpful in lifting the heavy lid without disturbing glass projects within the kiln.  The elements are mounted in narrow element grooves that eliminates sagging elements and the need to pin elements in place.  And the Paragon Pearl-22 includes a lid safety switch to shut down power to the exposed elements whenever the kiln chamber is opened and a built-in louvered stand that allows the kiln to be operated from virtually any worktable.
