Ref: TnF-27-3
Max temp 2350 - Cone 10
Firing Chamber 28 W x 22 1/4 D
8.11 cu ft
The TnF-27-3 is easier to load than the deeper studio kilns. It is only 22 ¼" deep, yet larger inside than the 29" deep 10-sided 24-series kilns. Rated to 2350°F, the TnF-27-3 fires porcelain and stoneware, yet still fires on a 240 volt, 50 amp circuit.
The TnF-27-3 features sectional construction. Separate the kiln bottom and two sections to repair bricks, change elements, or to move the kiln down narrow stairwells or through the narrowest doorways. Twist-lock spring latches hold the assembled collars securely.
The top row of brick in the TnF-27-3 is 2" high and without element grooves. It is less susceptible to damage during loading than a grooved brick.
The massive, 12-sided Paragon digital TnF-27-3 kiln is a profit center of the busy ceramic studio. It eats up stacks of low-fire ware as well as porcelain and stoneware. It is rated to a full cone 10. At a cost per cubic foot, the TnF-27-3 is one of the most economically priced standard kilns we make.
During busy seasons when orders are backlogged, you will be grateful you own a dependable Paragon kiln. Studio owners call these kilns (real work horses).
Paragon studio kilns have withstood years of abuse in school environments. High school ceramics teachers fire these kilns unmercifully, without remorse. Yet the kilns keep going. People swear by them.
Easy Access Switch Box
Hinged at the bottom, the switch box on 8, 10 & 12 sided TnF kilns opens forward for easy maintenance. A folding support arm holds the box in the open position. The Sentry is mounted at the top of the switch box within easy reach. Operate it from a comfortable position.
The TnF-27-3 uses deluxe 3" thick firebrick throughout: in the sidewalls, the reversible brick bottom, and the 3" thick lid. The massive lid is easy to lift with the exclusive, patented Paragon counter-balance LiteLid. The LiteLid reduces the strain on the kiln body from the pressure of the lid. This lengthens the life of the firebricks. The LiteLid eliminates cumbersome pulleys and ropes.
The 24" wide stand for the TnF-27-3 kiln supports the brick bottom with framing that is 4 ½" wide across the top of each side. The stand accommodates the Orton KilnVent. The stand is rock-steady, with 16-gauge frame and heavy 12-gauge legs.
If you move your kiln out of the way when not in use, order an optional deluxe kiln stand with steel casters.
