F500 Pro Glass Annealing Kiln

PARAGON F500 PRO: Precision and Power for High-Performance Lampworking

The PARAGON F500 PRO is built for serious professionals who demand more than just space—it’s designed for repeatable precision, faster responsiveness, and studio-grade control. With the same generous interior dimensions as the F500, the PRO version adds critical performance upgrades that make it ideal for demanding lampworking applications.

Enhanced Lampworking, Elevated Performance

Whether you're annealing tall, sculptural pieces or loading multiple punty rods at once, the F500 PRO gives you professional-grade control over every firing. Its expanded 24.00" W x 18.00" D x 22.00" H interior can accommodate ambitious projects, batch loads, or advanced sculptural work—all while maintaining exceptional temperature uniformity.

What Makes It a PRO?

The F500 PRO includes all the core strengths of the standard F500, with important enhancements:

• Solid-State Relay (SSR) Only: All PRO models come standard with SSRs mounted on heat sinks, delivering silent operation, longer lifespan, and tighter thermal control for delicate annealing cycles.

• Advanced SENTINEL Controller: Touchscreen interface with ramp/hold programming, 12 custom program slots, up to 32 segments each, Novice Mode assistance, and the ability to automate accessories like gas injection kits.

• Top-Tier Thermal Consistency: 3" firebrick insulation combined with carefully calibrated side-mounted elements ensures even heating across the entire chamber—even with larger or uneven loads.

• Bead Door Included: The F500 PRO comes standard with a spring-loaded bead door for punty rod access, allowing you to add or adjust pieces mid-cycle without significant heat loss.

• Drop-Switch Safety Feature: Integrated door safety switch shuts off element power when the door opens, increasing both safety and equipment longevity.

• Heavy-Duty Steel Construction: Built for daily use in active studios, the F500 PRO’s rigid steel case stands up to the demands of full-time lampworking environments.

Ideal For:

• High-output studios producing marbles, beads, and sculptures

• Glass artists working with large-scale pieces requiring uniform annealing

• Educational institutions offering advanced lampworking courses

• Professionals upgrading from entry-level kilns to a precision system
