The Viking-24 is a 10-sided 3" wall digital kiln. It features sectional construction. Separate the kiln bottom and 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.
Viking kilns are designed for extra heavy-duty firing and high temperatures. They are similar to our standard studio kilns but with these additional features:
All Vikings are digital. As with the TnF studio kilns, they feature the Sentry 12-key controller, easy access switch box, ½ amp fuse, and LiteLid. But in addition, they use heavy-duty mercury relays instead of our standard mechanical relays. Mercury relays outlast the standard mechanical contactor relays by a wide margin. The Vikings have power to spare. They are 14,400 watt kilns and fire on a 70 amp, 240 volt circuit. (Note: we can also make these kilns for international electrical systems.) UL/CUL & NEC compliant high amperage fuses protect the kiln and circuit wiring. These fuses are built into the kiln switch box.
Exclusive LiteLid Spring Counter-Balance
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.
Easy Access Switch Box
Hinged at the bottom, the switch box on the Viking-24 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.
Kiln Stand with Extra Support
The 24" wide stand for 10 & 12-sided kilns 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.
