The Jen-Ken AFG ProFusion 52 Deep Glass Kiln offers generous interior space measuring 52 inches wide by 26 inches long and 15 inches deep, making it suitable for large-scale glass projects that smaller kilns cannot accommodate.
Stand and Workspace Design
An integrated stand with casters positions the kiln floor at approximately 34 inches high, aligning with standard kitchen counter height to reduce strain during loading and unloading. A full 52-inch solid fiber shelf provides a stable base for workpieces, while the separate wall-mountable controller eliminates the need to bend over the unit for programming.
Lid Operation and Floor Durability
The spring-assisted lid feels light despite the kiln's size, simplifying access. The floor consists of individual kiln bricks that are not cemented together, allowing quick replacement of any damaged section without rebuilding the entire base.
Controller Choices
This model ships with the Orton AutoFire 12-key controller as standard. Upgrading to the TAP touchscreen controller from SDS Industries adds extensive program memory, unlimited profile storage, and optional Wi-Fi connectivity for remote operation from phones, tablets, or computers.
Solid State Relay Performance
The included solid state relay replaces traditional mechanical relays, delivering faster power cycling for tighter temperature control, extended heating element life, and reduced energy consumption. With no moving parts, it typically lasts the full service life of the kiln and removes the need for periodic relay replacements.
