Paragon W18 Casting & Burnout Kiln: Production-Size Burnout for Wax and 3D-Printed Resin
When you're casting every day, burnout capacity sets how many pieces you can pour. The Paragon W18 gives you a full 18" x 18" x 18" firing chamber, with room for 6–8 large flasks (depending on flask size) in a single cycle. That makes it a strong fit for trade casters, production shops, and jewelers moving from a small burnout oven into higher volume.
Built for Wax and Resin Burnout
Traditional carved and injected wax is forgiving. Castable resin is not. Printed patterns need a slow, controlled ramp and a long enough hold to burn out completely. If the cycle is rushed or the heat is uneven, you get ash residue, investment cracking, and rough or incomplete castings.
The W18 ships with the Sentinel TouchXPress touchscreen controller, so you can program multi-segment ramp-and-hold schedules and save them for repeat use. Run your wax schedule one day and your resin manufacturer's recommended burnout the next, with the same results cycle after cycle. The 1700°F maximum gives you plenty of headroom above typical burnout peaks.
Why Casters Choose the W18
- Fits 6–8 large flasks. Burn out full production runs, mixed flask sizes, or tall flasks in one load.
- Sentinel TouchXPress touchscreen controller. Program, save, and repeat precise burnout schedules for wax and resin.
- Fires to 1700°F. Covers standard wax burnout and the extended high-temperature holds castable resins need.
- 6,400-watt heating. Enough power to follow demanding ramp schedules on a fully loaded chamber.
- Paragon build quality. Made by one of the most trusted names in American kilns, and built to hold up to daily production use.
- More than burnout. The chamber also suits annealing, enameling, and other heat-treating work.
