The Crimptronic is an electric crimp station. The vial is put into the Crimptronic with the cap in place. The crimp head descends onto the bottle head and an electric cylinder closes the vial with a predefined pressure. Just like a hand crimper only really reproducible. The Crimptronic is so good, it even evens out the tolerances in the glass and the septum thickness because it crimps with predefined pressure instead of working against a mechanical stop. This assures that one vial is crimped exactly like the other.
The Crimptronic is not faster than a hand crimper but produces much more reproducible and uniform results particularly when working with difficult closures like lyophilisation stoppers or magnetic metal caps.
Crimp heads are exchangeable and available for the standard cap sizes. No tools are required.
De-Crimping heads are also available.
For clean room applications, the Crimptronic is also available in steel and the crimping can be certified. |
