Jen-Ken AF Mega Coil 2422 Ceramic & Pottery Kiln – Built for Production Power, Speed & Reliability
The Jen-Ken AF Mega Coil 2422 is engineered for serious ceramic artists, makerspaces, and production studios that demand fast heat-up, consistent results, and minimal downtime. This kiln takes Jen-Ken’s proven 22"-deep format and upgrades it with oversized, super-heavy-gauge Mega Coils—designed to last 10–15 years longer than standard kiln elements and to be replaced in minutes, not hours.
Say goodbye to waiting for repair techs—you can replace a coil in about 10 minutes, thanks to external color-coded leads and stress-free plug-in connections. Combined with a wall-mounted control enclosure that stays cooler for longer controller life, this kiln is built to stay online and keep your production moving.
Perfect for studios running back-to-back cone-6 cycles, small-batch pottery shops, and teaching environments, the AF Mega Coil 2422 delivers industrial-level reliability in a manageable footprint.
