Wheaton Science Products has introduced two crimping jaw sets for its Crimpenstein electric crimper/decapper, designed for laboratories that crimp or decap large volumes of aluminium seals.
The crimping jaws are engineered to accommodate 13mm and 20mm flip-cap aluminium seals.
As with the 8, 11, 13 and 20mm crimper or decapper jaw sets for standard seals, the flip-cap crimping jaws are completely compatible with the Crimpenstein controller and are interchangeable with the other jaw sets for quick change between different sizes and models.
The lightweight, semi-automatic, ergonomically designed Crimpenstein electric crimper/decapper is now available with a choice of four different size crimper or decapper jaws for standard seals plus the new two-size crimper jaws for flip cap seals.
The ability to quickly change between different sizes or between crimping, decapping, and different types of seals is said to offer a high level of flexibility and economy.
The Crimpenstein features an adjustable jaw intensity to allow users to regulate jaw action as required to achieve the perfect crimp.
Since it is AC powered, the need for regulated compressed air or batteries, which discharge over time, is eliminated.
A sturdy stand is available to hold the Crimpenstein in a fixed vertical position.
