Product Description
Introducing the sleek SC2 Professional Kiln from Paragon with Touch Screen Controller. Includes a soft ceramic fibre shelf kit.
** We think the SC2 Professional looks great in black but it is available for pre-order in other colours. Contact us for more details! **
This is the ideal kiln for Art Clay, PMC, and all silver metal clays on the market. It's also perfect for glass fusing, and enamelling.
This Professional silver and glass kiln has the same ceramic fibre firing chamber as the trusty old SC-2. But, in addition, the sleek and elegant SC-2 Professional features a brushed stainless steel door with an easy-to-open 9” long wooden handle. The door opens and closes gently with an adjustable, spring-loaded catch on the bottom. The large door opens 180 degrees to give you full access to the interior. The control panel is sloped so you can see the screen easier, which makes life easier when it comes to entering and choosing your program. The SC-2 Pro also has an easy-access back panel for quick maintenance.
And - another big difference, the SC-2 Professional elements are powered by a quiet, solid state relay. No clicks! And an even steadier temperature. For your security, the solid state relay is backed by a mechanical safety relay that turns off the heating elements should the solid state relay ever fail.
The high-tech ceramic fibre firing chamber is wrapped in a steel inner case. The outer steel case remains cool due to the air gap under it. In addition, the case is slotted for air circulation. Electrical components, located in the base, stay cool even at extended hold times.
The SC-2 Pro can hold three shelves filled with metal clay, yet is portable enough to take with you to classes. Program the firing schedule that is perfect for your projects. The kiln turns itself off after the firing is completed. The SC-2 Pro is great in classrooms because the elements are safely embedded in the ceramic fibre.
The SC-2 Professional has separate heating elements in the left and right sides of the firing chamber. The back of the chamber has no element, so the heat distribution in the SC-2 Pro is even throughout the firing chamber, because heat does not build up in the back.
It fires automatically at the rate and temperature you enter. A large, brightly lit display prompts for firing rate, temperature, and hold time. Use the hold feature to automatically soak any type of clay silver to its recommended time.
Each SC-2 includes a 6mm (1/4") thick ceramic fibre shelf.

** OPTION ABOVE TO ADD ON A HARD CERAMIC SHELF KIT
This solid ceramic shelf can withstand temperatures up to 1222°C. Create multi-layered kiln shelves for firing numerous items inside the kiln by stacking kiln posts and shelves. Perfect size for the Paragon SC2, Paragon SC2 Pro and the Lilly Kiln.
Shelf Dimensions: 17.8cm x 17.8cm x 1.5cm (7" x 7")
3 x 1" kiln posts also included. We recommend you use three kiln posts instead of four to support shelves. Four posts can cause the shelves to wobble unless the bottom of the kiln is completely even, the kiln shelf is completely flat, and the posts are exactly the same height - three things which you'll rarely find all together!
Position the kiln posts close to the kiln walls and away from the centre of the kiln.
Please note: Ceramic kiln posts are fragile, and they don't always look perfect. We make every effort to pack them well, but accidents (and brutal delivery services) can happen and one might break in shipping. If this happens, just email us a photo and we will credit you the cost of the post. We won't ship a replacement as this isn't viable with postage and packing costs. Small chips which are cosmetic only and doesn't affect the functionality will not be credited.
