From the easy-access, glistening control panel to the built-in stand to the crucible cover lifting assembly, the kiln is built to far exceed your expectations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan class=\"”bodyText”\"\u003eThe Vulcan II heats approximately 50 pounds of glass to molten temperature. Mix custom glass colors. Make huge glass figurines, paper weights, blown vessels, stringers, and much more. Pull your own neon tubing. Make glass castings. The Vulcan II is a glass blower’s dream kiln.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eK-25 insulating firebricks, 4 1\/2” thick walls\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan class=\"”bodyText”\"\u003eThe rugged K-25 firebricks are designed for prolonged periods at high temperatures. They are much more suitable for crucible work than the standard K-23 firebricks. The K-25 sidewalls are a massive 4 ½” thick. The K-25 firebrick bottom, lid, and crucible cover are 3” thick.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003ePivoting crucible cover\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan class=\"”bodyText”\"\u003ePlace the crucible in the kiln on a shelf. Adjust the height of the crucible with posts under the shelf. The crucible hole in the lid is covered by a 12” firebrick cover that lifts out of the way on pivoting support arms so you won't have to find a place to lay the hot crucible cover. It pivots up and out of the way with one-handed operation.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFurniture (sold separately): Order the C10-R (10” round x 1\/2”) shelf and 1 ½” wide posts of the correct length to support your crucibles. Scroll down to Accessories below.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eS-type Platinum thermocouple (temperature sensor)\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan class=\"”bodyText”\"\u003eThe deluxe S-Type platinum thermocouple with ceramic protection tube is now standard on all Vulcan II kilns. This thermocouple far outlasts the standard K-Type. It is also resistant to temperature drift.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eAPM elements\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan class=\"”bodyText”\"\u003eThe Vulcan II is not just beautiful to look at it. It is designed from the inside out for consistent performance. The elements are made of Kanthal AMP wire, which lasts longer than the standard Kanthal A1.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eQuick release bottom section\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe bottom section of the Vulcan II includes the firebrick floor and the bottom row of blank 2 ½” high wall bricks. The bottom section is held in place with heavy duty spring-twist locks. Should a crucible crack and leak glass onto the kiln floor, merely replace the damaged bottom section. The 2 1\/2” high wall section is blank, so you won’t worry about damage to a heating element from a cracked crucible. The kiln sections each have two convenient hand lifts (four total).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eGalvanized steel base plate\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan class=\"”bodyText”\"\u003eA heavy galvanized steel base completely covers the reversible brick bottom. Tabs around the galvanized base are pushed up under the stainless case on all sides and fastened with screws to strengthen the firing chamber. This is one more assurance that your Paragon kiln is built to last.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eDigital convenience\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eProgram the digital controller for the exact consistency of glass melt that you desire. The hinged lid floats to compensate for expansion. You can also fire pottery or glass fusing in the Vulcan II. Comes with a one year warranty and heavy-duty stand. (Please note: Due to the long firing cycles of a crucible kiln, the warranty does not cover the heating elements.)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eA mercury relay is standard\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan class=\"”bodyText”\"\u003eA mercury relay is standard on the Vulcan II. (The relay sends power to the heating elements from the controller.) The Vulcan II has the same mercury relay found on our large industrial kilns. This type of relay far outlasts mechanical relays. The life of the quiet, reliable mercury relay has been measured in millions of on\/off cycles.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eVentilated control panel and built-in stand\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e The heavy-duty kiln stand is welded from tubular steel and includes locking casters. The kiln is held in place with twist locks. The control box is finished in a durable high temperature, water-base black paint, which releases low emissions during spraying. This creates a safer working environment for our employees and cuts down on pollution.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ctable border=\"0\" cellpadding=\"15\" cellspacing=\"0\" align=\"center\" width=\"640\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd valign=\"top\" align=\"left\" width=\"40%\"\u003e\n\u003ctable border=\"0\" cellpadding=\"3\" cellspacing=\"0\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr bgcolor=\"99b0bf\"\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMax.
