Jen-Ken AF 2422 Mega Coil Ceramic Kiln
Discover the Mega Coil Series from Jen-Ken—designed for busy studios and artists who need reliable, low-maintenance firing. This 22-inch-deep kiln blends the familiar brick construction with oversized Mega Coils, delivering robust heat and extended element life.
Coil Design and Heat Delivery
Four oversized Mega Coils extend heat output beyond the kiln walls through color-coded wiring to a dedicated power block. This design not only heats efficiently but also simplifies maintenance, making coil changes possible in about 10 minutes.
Control System and Firing Programs
The stand-alone controller sits in a wall-mount enclosure to stay out of the kiln’s heat, preserving component longevity. It provides full cone firing settings with slow, medium, and fast options, plus 9 user-programmable firing schedules for custom sessions. A 60-amp mercury relay supports long service life, and an 8-gauge thermocouple continuously records temperature during firing. The kiln plugs directly into the Orton AutoFire Digital 12-button controller for consistent, repeatable results.
Automatic heat-work adjustments and final firing temperatures are calculated by the controller based on ongoing kiln performance, ensuring dependable results as the kiln ages. It can also estimate the cost of each firing for planning and budgeting.
Durability and Maintenance
Mega Coils are designed to extend firing life by 10–15 years compared with similarly sized kilns. Internal wiring uses 8 color-coded element tails that uncouple for straightforward, stress-free coil replacement.
