Kiln manufacturer, Paragon Industries has added a third CNC computer-controlled firebrick router to its factory in Texas, USA.
The router cuts element grooves in pre-assembled and cemented kiln walls, roofs, and lids. The roofs and lids are used in glass fusing kilns; the walls are used in square front-loading ceramic, glass fusing, and heat treating kilns.
A third CNC (computer numerical control) router is aimed at improving kiln production time.
“Many years ago we grooved the firebrick lids of glass kilns by hand,” said John Hohenshelt, President of Paragon.
