Take 3 to 4 empty vials and place the cap with seal onto the vial. Rest the tool on the vials. Press the
go-button and hold until the crimp is complete. Check the crimped vial for tightness and form. (Figure
8 A to C)
In case the crimp is to tight (Figure 8B), adjust the crimp tool for a softer crimp pressing . In case the
crimp is to soft (Figure 8C) press to get a tighter crimp.
Use a new vial and cap and perform the crimp test again.
Note:
Crimping the same vial two or more times will not give the same results and might result in
breakage of the vial. Always use a new vial and cap.
