J14 XPRESS Kiln

PARAGON J14: Larger Chamber, Lightweight Build, Mold-Making Precision

Built for jewelers who demand consistency, the PARAGON J14 combines lightweight ceramic fiber construction with a spacious firing chamber and intuitive digital control. Designed for jewelry mold production but fully capable of handling silver clay, glass, and light enameling work, this kiln delivers fast heat-up, excellent insulation, and hands-off firing precision.

Why Choose a Kiln Like the PARAGON J14?

If you create rubber or silicone molds for jewelry casting, you know the value of a kiln that reaches temperature quickly, holds it with stability, and offers repeatable results. The J14 eliminates the guesswork and wasted time that come with manually controlled firings. And because it opens from the front with a tightly sealed spring latch, you retain full access and safety without needing a bulky top loader.

Why Choose the PARAGON J14?

The J14 is constructed with a durable one-piece ceramic fiber shell, ensuring both energy efficiency and rapid temperature response. Heating elements are embedded within the walls for even distribution and protection from mechanical wear. Additional ceramic fiber insulation between the shell and the steel outer case boosts thermal efficiency, minimizing heat loss and conserving energy.

Controls are housed in the base—not a side box—keeping the footprint compact and tabletop-friendly. A built-in top vent hole and steel plug support burnout processes for lost wax or cork clay applications, while a second vent in the door enhances airflow when needed.

The spring latch keeps the door tightly sealed, yet easy to open with one hand. No stand is required; the built-in base stays cool during operation.

Who Is This Kiln For?

• Professional jewelers producing rubber or silicone molds requiring stable, digital temperature control

• Casters and wax modelers using cork clay or burnout techniques

• Silver clay and glass artists seeking a slightly larger fiber kiln with fast cycling

• Studios and schools that value efficiency, low power requirements, and safe design

• Technicians needing precise thermal control with compact design

Digital Precision with the Sentinel Touch Xpress

The PARAGON J14 includes the Sentinel Touch Xpress controller, offering full touchscreen access to custom firing programs. With both single-setpoint and multi-segment ramp-hold capabilities, the Sentinel provides flexibility whether you're curing molds or firing creative projects. The bright display, temperature hold features, and real-time feedback make operation effortless—even for beginners.

Optional Accessories

The J14 is compatible with a wax tray, available as an add-on, for clean and safe lost wax casting workflows.
