52 Inches Wide. For Pieces That Don't Fit in Any Other Kiln.
Architectural panels. Custom door inserts. Conference table tops. Long fused wall art. If you've been turning down the work that doesn't fit your current kiln, the Jen-Ken ProFusion 52 changes what you can say yes to. The interior is 52" wide by 26" long, with 10.17 cubic feet of capacity. That's room for full sized architectural glass work in one firing.
It also keeps everything the ProFusion line is known for. The kiln ships with a solid 52" fiber shelf. Drop it onto the floor of the kiln and you've got an all fiber interior, top to bottom, which means fast ramps, fast cooldowns, and the ability to run multiple firings a day on smaller work. Big enough for your largest pieces, fast enough for everything else.
The lid is a spring assisted clamshell, so even at this size it feels surprisingly light to open and close. The whole kiln sits on an integrated stand with casters, putting the floor at a comfortable 34" loading height. You can load standing up, or assemble your piece right at the kiln. The controller mounts separately on the wall at eye level, so you're not bending over to program firings either.
The floor is built from individual uncemented kiln bricks, so if a brick ever gets damaged you swap it out instead of replacing the whole floor. Maxes out at 1700°F, plenty of headroom for full fuse, tack fuse, slumping, draping, and casting work.
Included with every order
Integrated stand with casters, solid 52" rigid fiber shelf, 2 year limited warranty through Jen-Ken, and free freight shipping to the US Lower 48.
Who Is This Kiln For?
The ProFusion 52 is built for a specific kind of artist. Here's how to tell if that's you.
✓ Architectural and commission based glass artists
If clients want door inserts, panels, signs, or wall installations that don't fit a standard kiln, the 52" chamber finally lets you take those commissions.
✓ High volume production studios
10 cubic feet of capacity plus fast fiber firing means you can run more pieces per day, or way bigger pieces per firing. Either way, more output.
✓ Glass artists scaling up
If your work has been getting bigger but your kiln hasn't kept up, this is the kiln that lets you grow into larger commissions and exhibition pieces.
✓ Established teaching studios and glass schools
A 52" kiln supports large group projects, demos of architectural work, and advanced student pieces that smaller fusing kilns can't accommodate.
The ProFusion 52 ships standard with the Orton AutoFire 12 Key, which gives you reliable programmable firings with up to 4 custom programs. For more storage and remote control, upgrade at checkout to the TAP Smart Controller with Wi Fi. The TAP's virtually unlimited program storage and phone/tablet control is genuinely useful when you're running long firings on large work, since you can check status from anywhere instead of staying in the studio for hours.
