Similar in size to the popular Paragon SC2, the Pro-7 is ideal for firing precious metal clays, including silver, gold, copper, and bronze clays, while also excelling at glass fusing, enameling, low-fire ceramics, china painting, annealing, and metal hardening applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eWith a maximum temperature of 2012°F and an easy to use programmable digital controller, the Pro-7 delivers professional performance in a studio friendly size.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eStress-Free Firing with 11 Preset Programs\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eEvery Prometheus Pro-7 includes \u003cb\u003e11 preloaded firing programs\u003c\/b\u003e, developed and tested through years of real-world use. These proven schedules allow you to begin firing immediately without having to create programs from scratch.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe controller provides 15 total program slots. 11 are preloaded and four are left blank for your own custom firing schedules.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eWant to customize? No problem. Every preset can be modified or overwritten, giving you complete control over your kiln.

It's equally useful for glass fusing projects that require controlled heating, annealing, and cooling schedules.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eOnce a program is created, it remains stored in memory until you choose to change it. You can dedicate individual programs to silver clay, glass fusing, enameling, ceramics, or any custom firing process you develop.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eChamber and Construction\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eThe Pro-7 features a durable steel exterior with ventilation slots that help keep the outer case cooler during operation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eThe front-loading door opens fully for easy loading and unloading, and a small vent above the bead door assists with ventilation when needed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eThe firing chamber measures:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cb\u003e9\" W x 8\" D x 6\" H\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e(230 x 205 x 155 mm)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eHeating elements are embedded in the top, sides, and floor of the chamber for even heat distribution and efficient firing performance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eChoose a Bead Annealing Door\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eIf chosen, the Pro-7 features a generous 6\" x 2.25\" (150mm x 57mm) letterbox-style bead annealing door. The bead door is hinged at the top and opens upward, allowing lampwork bead makers to insert mandrels through the opening while the kiln remains at temperature.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eWhen open, the bead door rests on the mandrels and does not remain upright on its own.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eMany artists also use the bead door to quickly check the progress of enamels, china paints, glass, and glazes. The opening provides a wider viewing area than a traditional kiln window while minimizing heat loss compared to opening the main door. As with any hot kiln, always use appropriate eye and heat protection when viewing the firing chamber.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eBecause lampwork mandrels typically keep the bead door slightly open during use, a small amount of heat loss is normal. As with all kiln processes, we recommend testing and refining firing schedules to suit your materials and workflow.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eNote: Some discoloration around the door area and vent is normal with use. The refractory chamber expands and contracts during firing cycles. Small cracks are normal and may even be present in a new kiln. These do not affect kiln performance and typically close as the kiln heats.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0596\/7092\/1404\/files\/Prometheus-PRO7PRG-QuickStart.pdf?v=1781111800\" title=\"prometheus kiln manual\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eClick here for the Prometheus Pro-7-PRG Manual\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Odak LTD","offers":[{"title":"Standard - 120V - US - Displays in °F","offer_id":46836441940156,"sku":"KLN-005","price":1299.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"with Bead Door - 120V - US - Displays in °F","offer_id":46836441972924,"sku":"KLN-006","price":1369.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0596\/7092\/1404\/files\/KLN-005a.png?v=1781553299","url":"https:\/\/cooltools.us\/products\/prometheus-pro-7-prg-digital-kiln","provider":"Cool Tools","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
