Jen-Ken AFG ProFusion 38 Deep Glass Kiln
The Jen-Ken AFG ProFusion 38 Deep Glass Kiln represents the next generation of high-performance fiber kilns. With a spacious 38″ × 26″ opening and 15″ interior height (14″ to the bottom of the quartz-encased elements), this kiln delivers the speed, efficiency, and precision that serious glass artists demand. Designed for both large and small-scale glass fusing and slumping projects, it features a rigid fiber top that’s “hard as a rock,” offering faster, cleaner firings without the fluff or wear common in soft fiber designs. The included 25″ × 36″ solid fiber shelf transforms the chamber into an all-fiber firing environment, making it possible to reach full fuse temperatures in just 90 minutes—ideal for studios running multiple firings per day.
The ProFusion 38 sits on an integrated stand with casters for easy mobility and perfect counter-height loading. Its clamshell-style, spring-assisted lid makes operation effortless, and the controller can be wall-mounted for comfortable, eye-level programming. With quartz-encased elements, modular brick flooring, and durable construction, this kiln is built for long-lasting performance and professional results.
Controller Options
The kiln comes standard with the Orton AutoFire 4000 12-Key Controller, offering precise temperature control and easy program customization. For those who prefer modern interfaces, two touchscreen upgrades are available:
-
Orton AutoFire Slide Touchscreen – intuitive, easy-to-use interface with streamlined programming.
-
TAP II Touchscreen Smart Controller – advanced Wi-Fi-enabled control with mobile app access, real-time monitoring, and firing data logging.
Firing Performance
This fiber kiln’s design enables ultra-fast heating—up to 500°F per hour—and controlled cooling for repeatable, high-quality results. Its quartz-encased elements ensure even radiant heat distribution, while the modular brick base makes maintenance simple. Capable of two firings per day, it’s perfect for studios, teachers, or artists who need both speed and accuracy.
Optional Add-Ons
Add an SSR (Solid State Relay) for smoother, quieter temperature transitions, or include a Furniture Kit for expanded firing flexibility.
