Designed for home studios, the Jen-Ken AF3P 24-E Glass Kiln features both top and side firing, delivering versatile performance in a compact footprint. It can accommodate pieces up to a 20-inch bowl or a table-top project, making it a capable workhorse for glass fusing, slumping, and other at‑home pursuits.
Power and control options
- Includes a standard AF3P Orton digital 3‑button controller.
- Upgrade paths available to an Orton Autofire 12‑key controller or a TAP controller, to fit your firing needs.
Solid State Relay for precise performance
A Solid State Relay powers the kiln’s elements with fast, clean switching, delivering tight temperature control, longer element life, and improved energy efficiency. Unlike mechanical relays with moving parts, a solid state design minimizes wear and tear and is likely to last the life of the kiln.
