Paragon Adds Third Plasma Cutter to Kiln Production

02/03/2010

Paragon has just installed its third high-capacity plasma cutter to make kiln and furnace sheet metal parts. The computer-controlled plasma cutters use electrically charged, high temperature gas to cut through steel. This process does away with blades and stamping dies.

“The main reason we bought our third plasma cutter is to speed up the delivery time of Paragon kilns,” said John S. Hohenshelt, president of Paragon. “We are constantly looking for ways to improve our service. We are fortunate that 2009 was a busy year for us.”
