The ProFusion 16 is a clam shell shaped, all-fiber, light-weight kiln that is quick and convenient to use. The clam shell design allows for projects to be assembled on the base of the kiln. The ProFusion 16 can fuse in about 1.5 hours for small items. The all fiber design means most of the heat is absorbed by the glass and not the kiln. Cool down is also quick since the fiber does not absorb the heat like fire brick. The end result is that several firings may be accomplished in a single day.

The kiln has no shelf, but you can use fiber paper or kaiser lee board. If you use a clay shelf on posts, the depth is reduced and firing time will increase. You can fire glass as fast as the glass can take the heat. Firing thin pieces may take about 1 hour, but slumping may require more time and a rate of 300 degrees per hour to account for the thicker glass and the ceramic mold.

The ProFusion 16 includes 2" tall feet - designed for table top use.

Price Includes: Kiln, kiln wash and manual. 1 Year Limited Warranty. This kiln is UPS-able.

TAP controller with touchscreen technology

This kiln includes the TAP controller with touchscreen technology and wi-fi compatibility. The Touchscreen displays all programming and use commands in full text for easy use and understanding. The TAP Controller menu driven software is well laid out, logical and very intuitive. During standby and run operations the TAP Controller displays large format, high contrast screens that display kiln temperature and current state.

The TAP Controller includes pre-loaded firing schedules and the ability to create you own, unique firing schedules. During an actual firing the TAP offers on-the-fly changes including adjusting set point temperatures, hold times and skipping ahead. The controller includes kiln error information and diagnostics features. Diagnostics provide a real-time look into the usage of critical kiln components. The TAP Controller monitors many functions and allows you to calculate your actual cost per firing.

The TAP Controller is designed for computer networking via USB wi-fi or ethernet connections. This connectivity will allow for monitoring the kiln, developing and editing programs, or performing TAP Controller functions from a network connected computer, tablet or mobile device. Web based apps are expected to be available early 2016.
