However, selecting the best tool may be a bit difficult as various brands produce crimpers with various quality levels and you should choose the tool properly. If you need effective, hard-wearing tools, you should differentiate crimpers from decappers. Crimpers attach aluminum caps and seals to bottles for lab-scale manufacturing, while decappers remove the seal, you need to place the decapper on the seal and press handles together.
Hand Vial Crimpers are applied for small vial sizes, such as 8, 11, 13, 18, 20, 28, 30, and 32mm.
They are produced to crimp different cap styles, varying from standard to recessed, flip top, flip cap, and flip tear long reach.
Hand Vial Decappers are applied for low volumes, for the caps to be simply removed without damaging the glassware and they are perfect for the following vial sizes: 8, 11, 13, 18, 20, 28, 30, and 32 mm.
Crimpers and decappers are major tools for crimping and decamping seals on vials.
When the seal is removed from the glass bottle by the vial crimper, twist until you see the rubber cap come off the container. These tools are ideal for those who need to do their job properly. Select the best crimping tool for you on Prime Lab Med!
