Electric Crimper-Decapper

Wheaton Science Products introduces the new Crimpenstein Electric Crimper/Decapper. This lightweight, semi-automatic product is ideal for laboratories that crimp or decap large volumes of aluminum seals. Its ergonomic design also helps to reduce hand fatigue caused by the use of manual crimpers and decappers. The Crimpenstein is available with a choice of four different size crimper or decapper jaws (8, 11, 13, and 20 mm). The Crimpenstein features an adjustable jaw intensity which allows the user to regulate jaw action as required to achieve the perfect crimp. A memory feature also retains the last crimp setting when changing from decapping back to crimping. Since it is AC powered (electric), there is no need for regulated compressed air or batteries which discharge over time. A sturdy stand is available that will hold the Crimpenstein in a fixed vertical position for operations where vials need to be handled one at a time.
