26" Square With 15" of Depth. A Fiber-Top Fusing Kiln Built for Speed and Bigger Slumps.
The ProFusion 26 is a Jen-Ken innovation that takes the standard 26" square footprint and adds an extra 3" of depth, giving you 15" of vertical room for taller slumps, deeper molds, and dimensional work that won't fit in a standard fusing kiln. With a 26" W x 26" L interior and 4.69 cubic feet of capacity, it's the right size for a wide range of fused pieces, slumped vessels, and panel work.
What makes this kiln fire fast is the 2300°F rigid fiber top. Fiber heats up quickly and cools quickly, which means you can run firings at rates up to 500°F per hour when your schedule allows it. The kiln ships standard with a fiber shelf, and the quartz-encased elements protect the heating wire while delivering even heat to the work below.
Loading is comfortable. The kiln sits on an integrated stand with casters, so you can position it where you want it and roll it out of the way when you don't need it. The spring-assisted lid takes the heavy-lifting feel out of opening a kiln this size, even at the end of a long day.
It fires up to 1700°F, the right range for full fuse, tack fuse, slumping, and draping. Ships standard with the Orton AutoFire 12-Key controller, a reliable P-I-D controller with 4 custom programs. Upgrade at checkout to the TAP Smart Touchscreen with Wi-Fi or the Orton AutoFire Slide if you want more storage or remote control.

Who Is This Kiln For?
The ProFusion 26 is built for fusers who care about speed, vertical room, and a comfortable workflow. Here's how to tell if that's you.
✓ Fusers who slump or drape into deeper molds
The extra 3" of depth over a standard 12" fusing kiln is what makes the difference between a deep slump or tall drape you can fire and one you can't. If your molds and forms have been bumping the lid, this is the fix.
✓ Production fusers who fire often
Fiber top, fiber shelf, and the ability to ramp up to 500°F per hour means short firing cycles and faster cooldowns. You can run more firings per day on smaller work without waiting around for brick to give up its heat.
✓ Artists working on square or near-square pieces
26" x 26" is a sweet spot for plates, tiles, panels, and square platters. No wasted corners and no compromise on layout.
✓ Studios that need mobility
The integrated caster stand lets you roll the kiln where you need it and tuck it away when you don't. Real flexibility for shared studios and tight spaces.
For a kiln of this size, the Solid State Relay (SSR) is a worthwhile upgrade. It gives you tighter temperature control, longer element life, and quieter cycling, and tends to outlast the standard mechanical relay by a wide margin.
