Jen-Ken AFG 1815 Glass/Casting Kiln – Dual Firing Precision for Glass & Ceramics

The Jen-Ken AFG 1815 is a deep-chamber glass and casting kiln built for versatility, control, and consistency. With both top and side firing capabilities, this model supports a full range of warm glass and ceramic processes—including fusing, slumping, casting, and low-fire ceramics—with even, reliable heat distribution.

The deeper 15” chamber accommodates a 15” shelf and larger pieces up to 10.5” square, giving artists greater flexibility for molds, layered projects, or thicker glass work. In Glass Fusing mode, top elements deliver uniform radiant heat supported by side coils for balanced firing. Switch to Casting mode for precise side heating up to 1,700°F, protecting the lid coils from overexposure while maintaining accurate holds and ramp rates.

This kiln comes standard with the Orton AF3P 3-Button Controller for simple operation and dependable temperature management. For enhanced control, users can upgrade to:
– Orton AutoFire 4000 12-Key Controller for expanded program capacity and fine adjustments
– Orton AutoFire Slide Touchscreen Controller for intuitive, modern navigation
– TAP II Touchscreen Smart Controller with Wi-Fi connectivity, data logging, and cloud access

The optional solid-state relay (SSR) upgrade ensures silent, precise temperature cycling for long-term reliability, while the optional furniture kit (15” shelf and three ½” posts) supports flexible workspace configurations.
