Maximum Capacity, Heavy-Duty Construction
The Paragon CT122829 Viking Heavy Duty Ceramic Kiln is engineered for maximum capacity, reinforced durability, and dependable cone-10 performance in high-demand studio and classroom environments. With a 28" interior diameter and 29" depth (10.57 cu ft), it's the largest, deepest model in the CT Series — ideal for tall sculpture, high-volume batch firings, and stacked production loads in facilities that fire frequently and require long-term reliability.
This heavy-duty edition includes reinforced electrical components, upgraded element pathways, and industrial-grade wiring that support faster recovery, consistent cone-10 performance, and extended service life during demanding, back-to-back cycles. Sectional construction with twist-lock spring latches allows rings to separate easily for maintenance or for navigating tight spaces, and Paragon's patented LiteLid spring lift system makes the massive 3" lid surprisingly light and stable for one-hand opening.
Included with every order
Sentinel SmartTouch controller, solid-state relays, instruction manual, and 2-year limited warranty. Also available in 240V 3-phase and 208V configurations — contact us for electrical details. Optional furniture kit, VentMaster kiln vent, and kiln stand available.
