Description
The Paragon Fusion-16 is a mid-sized, top-loading glass kiln designed for artists who require a balance of chamber capacity and compact footprint. Firing up to 1700°F (926°C), it is well suited for fusing, slumping, and shallow mold work. The 16.5″ x 16.5″ x 6.5″ firing chamber provides enough space for plates, bowls, and medium-format art glass while maintaining efficient energy use.
Featuring the Sentry 12-Key Digital Controller, the Fusion-16 allows programmable ramp-hold cycles to control every step of the heating and cooling process. Its lid-mounted Kanthal A-1 heating elements ensure even heat distribution from the top down, while the 3″ firebrick insulation offers excellent heat retention and consistency.
The Fusion-16 operates on 240V, providing fast recovery and strong thermal stability—ideal for small studios and teaching environments where performance matters.
