Introducing the Jen-Ken Kiln's ProFusion 38 Deep! Interior Dimension: 26" width x 38" length x 16" depth. Big enough to handle your larger work. The top section is an all rigid fiber with the elements incased in quartz tubes.
The tubes hang just below the lid to emit the maximum radiant heat possible. It comes with an intigrated stand with casters, 1 - 25" x 37" Fiber Shelf, and a 15" by 21" rectangle clay shelf, 8 short kiln posts and a bag of kiln wash. The stand puts the floor of the kiln at about 34" high; the perfect height for ease of loading or simply assemble the piece right at the kiln. No leaning over to put the shelf or glass project in.
The lid (top muzzle) is a clamshell design and is spring-assited, so it has an EXTREMELY light feeling for it's size. The floor is made of individual kiln bricks that are NOT cemented together, for easy replacement in the event of an accident. The controller is seperate from the kiln, eliminating heat issues, and can be attached to the side of the kiln on a tilt or wall mountable at eye level. No more bending over to program the kiln!
Jen-Ken Kilns has made a 25" by 37" 1 inch fiber shelf that comes with the ProFusion 38. It is made out of the same rigid fiber material as the kiln. The benefits are no seams when fusing, and when this fiber shelf is placed flat on the floor of the kiln for even support then it becomes and all fiber kiln on the inside.
All fiber kilns can fuse glass with amazing speed with the glass on the fiber shelf. It is a clay shelf that holds the glass back, because the glass has to heat at the same rate as the shelf. The idea is that glass on a fiber shelf the glass can heat and fuse quicker and that by eliminating the brick the kiln can travel quicker up and down.
A clay shelf holds the glass back from quicker turn around times. Two firings a day are possible for the busy studio and for the teaching studio the kiln is about room temperature the next morning.
Solid State Relay
A Solid State Relay is hands down the best investment you can make in your kiln!
The relay is what controls the power cycling of the elements in the kiln and they need to be able to withstand a ton of power as they do so. The solid state relays are incredibly efficient compared to the standard mechanical relays and are able to operate at much faster speeds. What this equates to is incredibly tight temperature control for accurate firings, longer element life, and savings on your electrical bill!
The standard mechanical relays have moving parts which cause wear and tear over the years and will eventually need to be replaced; however with a solid state relay it's likely to last the entire life of the kiln! You willsave money and time by never needing to worry about this in the future!
Controller Selection
Jen-Ken has close relationships with the manufacturers of a variety of digital controllers, such as those from SDS Industries and Orton. This means you will have nothing but the best the best in terms of performance and accuracy in your firings.
With a selection of multiple controllers available - you can choose exactly what fits your needs.
TAP Touchscreen Smart Controller by SDS Industries
The top of the line. The bread and butter. The cream of the crop. The controller for those who want to make their lives easier, improve their craft, and make incredible quality products.
This is our top selling controller - And for good reason!
The TAP Smart Controller is without a doubt the best choice on the market right now - It's easy to use, has stellar performance, and is packed full with features!
It has more memory than any other controller, allowing you to more easily utilize, revise, and save many different kinds of firing programs.
Storage for firing programs is virtually unlimited! Create as many profiles, with as many steps as you'd like - you won't be limited by this controller.
Our favorite part though: When ordered with the Wi-Fi Dongle, you can control everything from any device! Prefer to work on your computer or tablet - how about your phone?
With an internet connection to your TAP Smart Controller, updates from SDS Industries can be applied to your controller automatically - ensuring you always have the most up-to-date software for years to come!
Easily adjust the in-progress firing, skip steps, and view all graphical information on your firing with just a "TAP"!
The amount of time you save by working with the TAP Smart Controller pays for itself for years to come - you'll be so happy with this investment that you won't know how you managed so long without it.
The TAP Smart Controller supports the Loud Alarm option.
Orton AutoFire Slide Touchscreen Controller
The AutoFire Slide is the latest addition to the AutoFire controller family. It has all the benefits and features of the AutoFire 4000 with a user-friendly touchscreen interface.
Using P-I-D control algorithms to tightly control kiln temperature, this controller eliminates temperature cycling. Cycling occurs when the controller turns the kiln on or off in a way where the actual temperature does not closely follow the desired firing schedule, so this ensures your firing schedules are very accurate (Tip: Order your kiln with a solid state relay to close the gap even further!)
This controller allows the operator to create, program, and save 35 separate firing schedules with 20 user-defined heating and cooling rates, target temperatures and hold times. For glass crafters, ceramicists, and heat treaters alike - you’ll find maximum flexibility with your firing programs.
For you ceramic artists, this controller provides a quick selection of preset cone programs that are designed specifically for ceramic firings. Every cone-fire program allows the operator to set a preliminary preheat cycle for drying ware, an optional hold time at the final heating temperature for additional heat-work and an optional cooling cycle at the end of the heating cycle. Every cone-fire program also allows the operator to select an optional firing speed that can shorten or lengthen the firing time up to 40% for large or small kiln loads.
Orton AutoFire 12-Key (AF/AFG) Controller
The Orton AutoFire 3000 12-Key (AF/AFG) controller has 12 keys for programming.
The Orton AF 12-key supports up to 4 custom firing programs.
Orton controllers use P-I-D control algorithms to tightly control kiln temperature. This eliminates temperature cycling. Cycling occurs when the controller turns the kiln on or off in a way where the actual temperature does not closely follow the desired firing schedule.
Orton controllers store all of the program information in memory when shut off. This is helpful for if power is lost in the middle of a firing, the controller remembers how far the program has progressed and determines if it can resume once power has been restored.
The AutoFire controller can add hold time to firings already in progress, edit programs in progress, and even skip in progress! These are some of the most useful features that are offered in both the TAP and AF 12-key controllers.
