Maximum Flexibility in a Tabletop Footprint
The Paragon Caldera Dual-Media Multipurpose Kiln is built for artists, educators, and studios who need maximum flexibility in a compact tabletop kiln. With an 8" W x 8" D x 6.7" H firing chamber firing up to 2,350°F, the Caldera delivers fast heat-up and precise digital control for metal clay, fused glass, enameling, ceramics, glaze testing, and specialty mixed-media applications.
The 2.5" insulating firebrick chamber stores heat efficiently with dropped, recessed element grooves that protect the elements and simplify maintenance. The Caldera is fully modular through Paragon's optional collar system: the Caldera-BC bead collar adds 4.5" of height with a bead door for annealing mandrels, the Caldera-X collar adds 4.5" of vertical space without a bead door, and the Caldera-E enameling collar adds 6.75" for taller workpieces.
Included with every order
Sentinel TouchXpress touchscreen controller, instruction manual, and 2-year limited warranty. Also available in a 240V single-phase configuration — contact us for details. Optional high-temperature viewing window available for glass artists.
