Ovation-22 Oval Kiln  New!

KNPGOVATION22.jpg (26214 bytes)

The Ovation-22 is an oval pottery kiln.  It is similar to the Janus-Ovation except all the elements are in the sidewalls.  

The Ovation-22 is 11.4 cubic feet.  22 1/2” wide x 41 1/2” long x 22 1/2” deep interior.   If you have been firing a smaller kiln, you will be amazed at the space inside the Ovation-22.  Fire large projects such as bowls or platters in one load.  Firing production loads can quickly pay for this kiln.

Patented dual spring-assisted lid supports transfer the weight of the lid to a massive hinge assembly on the back of the kiln.  This reduces the stress on the kiln wall to give your kiln the long life that Paragon kilns are famous for.

The patented control box on the Ovation-22 opens forward for easy maintenance. A folding support arm holds the box in the open position.

The digital Sentry 2.0 includes two modes:  Cone-Fire with programmed slow cooling and 18-Segment Ramp-Hold.  It is manufactured by the Orton Ceramic Foundation exclusively for Paragon.

3” insulating refractory firebrick firing chamber
Sidewall elements in dropped, recessed brick grooves are easy to replace.
Two tapered peepholes for a wide view with little heat loss
A steel floor pan supports the entire brick bottom of each kiln.
One year limited warranty
Available in 240, 200, 208, or 380 volt, 50 or 60 hertz, single or 3 phase.
Easy-access control box with folding support arm.
