CRIMP SETUP AND OPERATION
NOTE: It may be necessary to clean and lubricate the crimper jaws from time to
time. If an indentation begins to appear on the side of the seal being crimped,
cleaning and lubricating of the jaws will usually correct the problem.
In order to use your Kebby Power Crimp correctly and obtain the best crimp, use the
following steps:
STEP 1: Set the air pressure to zero psi. Turn the regulator adjustment knob (Figure 1-6)
counter clockwise to decrease the air pressure to zero psi.
NOTE: The knob is a push to lock, pull to unlock knob. If the knob will
not turn, it may be in the locked position. To unlock the knob,
pull up on the knob and push down on the knob to lock.
STEP 2: Insert appropriate Power Head (sold separately) for crimping into the Power
Crimp assembly.
STEP 3: Assemble stopper and cap on the top of the bottle.
STEP 4: Increase the air pressure to approximately 15 psi.
STEP 5: Insert the bottle and cap assembly into the Kebby Power Head Crimp with
the pressure set to 15 psi and actuate the Crimp. Wait approximately 1 to 2
seconds before releasing the Crimp.
Inspect cap for proper seal. If seal is not crimped to meet your requirements,
increase the air pressure by turning the knob clockwise at approximately
2 to 3 psi increments until seal meets your requirements.
Remove crimped seal or partially crimped seal, replace with new seal and
stopper if necessary before crimping at increased pressure. Repeat increasing
pressure approximately 2 to 3 psi until crimped seal meets your requirements.
NOTE: If a verification gauge is installed,
it is used as a visual aid to determine when
the crimp is complete. The crimp has been
completed when the needle on the gauge has
stabilized and no longer moves. The needle
on the verification gauge shows the pressure
at which the crimp is being performed.
STEP 6: If the crimp is unsatisfactory and the pressure
needs to be adjusted, unlock the pressure knob
to change the pressure and lock the pressure
knob before crimping. To avoid pressure variation
throughout the run, push down on the pressure
knob to lock it in place.
