Jen-Ken AF3P 24-E 15" Glass Kiln — Precision Firing with Flexible Controller Options
Meet the Jen-Ken AF3P 24-E 15" Glass Kiln. This model ships standard with the AF3P Orton digital 3-button controller, and you have the option to upgrade to either the Orton AutoFire 12-key controller or the TAP preprogrammed digital controller to tailor firing control to your workflow.
Solid State Relay for Superior Reliability and Efficiency
A Solid State Relay powers the kiln’s elements with fast, precise switching. Compared to traditional mechanical relays, SSRs deliver tighter temperature control, longer element life, and lower energy use. Mechanical relays involve moving parts that wear with time, whereas a solid state relay is designed for longevity, reducing maintenance and downtime and saving you time and money over the kiln’s life.
