The Jen-Ken Profusion 16 is manufactured using premium-quality fiber. As a square kiln with a clamshell design, this kiln is immensely easy to use.
With an integrated shelf, the Profusion 16 saves you from investing in a separate shelf to use the kiln, and allows you to carry out the projects on the surface of the kiln.
The ProFusion 16 is designed to reach its maximum temperature within a time span of 1.5 hours, which allows you to fire your glass without any heat resistance. You can utilize a thermocouple into the kiln to determine the temperature.
The Jen-Ken AF3P ProFusion 16 kiln is supplied with a AF3P Orton digital 3-button controller, which is used for facilitating a number of options regarding to the use of the kiln. It also allows the users to upgrade the kiln to Orton AutoFire 12-key or TAP controller, which permits the users to make the best out of the kiln. Additionally, the kiln could be plugged into a controller, which could be plugged into a wall socket for its use.
The ProFusion 16 is designed to meet an exclusive range of requirements, which is why it is equipped with an upgradability feature, which allows you to upgrade to the Solid State Relays. The addition of the SSR to the kiln can supplement the life-expectancy of your kiln, as it does not have any moving components, which strengthens the lifespan of the product.
Soul Ceramics is committed to providin shipping on all standard orders free of any charges.
The range of the Jen-Ken AF3P ProFusion 16 is a clam-shell shaped, light-weight, and all-fiber kiln, which is immensely convenient to use. The use of the clam-shell design allows the users to carry out and assemble their projects on the surface of the kiln without any hassle.
Also, the use of an all-fiber design entails that the heat is absorbed by the glass and not the kiln itself during its use. It also takes no time to cool down, as the fiber does not absorb the heat in comparison to other materials. The composition of the kiln allows its users to accomplish several firings in a single day.
The kiln is not equipped with a shelf to support its use; however, you can incorporate fiber glass or Kaiser lee board into the kiln for its use. If you resort to using a clay-shelf on posts, it will result in reducing the depth of the kiln, which will also result in increasing the fire time of the kiln.
The ProFusion 16 is also equipped with adjustable leveling feet, kiln wash, and an instruction’s manual.

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!
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.
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.
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.
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.
The AF 3-Key (AutoFire Express) is our basic, no frills controller. It gets the job done, but does not offer nearly as much flexibility as the others. The AF 3-Key has the ability to store up to 6 eight-step custom firing profiles.
While the AF 3-Key controller is fantastic, and certainly will help you achieve your end goals - we always recommend an upgrade to the AF 12-key or TAP Smart as the controller is the heart and brains of your kiln. It's what you'll be working with day in and day out, and being able to take advantage of the expanded user interface on the other controllers as well as their overwhelming number of features - we've always found that users are happiest upgrading.
This is a good choice if you're only planning to occasionally use your oven and do not want room to expand in the future.
