Paragon Industries, L.P. GL44ADTSD

The Paragon GL-44ADTSD Glass Kiln Made in America The deluxe GL-44ADTSD Professional Series glass kiln will help you to unlock your potential as a glass designer. The kiln quickly pays for itself by producing large glass panels, curved windows, lampshades, or production loads of glass pendants. Experiment with reactive glass colors, screen printing on glass, painting with frit and stringers, and glass weaving. The GL-44ADTSD is proudly made in America by skilled workers. It is not just assembled, but hand-crafted and designed for those whose livelihood depends on glass production. Industrial-Grade Relays The kiln includes features not found on competitive kilns. For instance, mercury relays are standard on this kiln for your peace of mind. Relays send power to the elements on command from the digital controller. The industrial-grade mercury relays found on the GL-44ADTSD far outlast mechanical relays. The life of the quiet, reliable mercury relay has been measured in millions of on/off cycles. Interior Dimensions: 21” wide 43” long x 16” deep The 16” depth is ideal for glass sagging. The sidewall heating elements, mounted in all four sides, offer greater control of sagging and bending. The kiln uses advanced power ratio technology, pioneered by Paragon, to balance the heat between the top and side elements. Program the digital controller to balance the heat between the top and sides in increments of 10%. (i.e., 100% top - 0% sides, 50% top - 50% sides, 80% top – 20% sides, etc.) Set the heat balance for any combination desired between the top and sides so that the total heat output equals 100%. Imagine the precise control you will have in adjusting the kiln to slump glass or to improve heat distribution over large fused panels.
