Stoppering-Tainer
The Stoppering-Tainer mechanism manually applies pressure to partially-inserted
stoppers, forcing them into the vials. Manual stoppering must be performed with
evenly distributed vials of equal height to ensure uniform stoppering force distribution
and prevent vial shifting. Vials should contain pre-frozen product.
Stoppering-Tainer Operation
Place an evenly distributed amount of vials containing pre-frozen product and 1.
partially inserted rubber stoppers into the Stopping-Tainer stainless steel
container.
Place the Stoppering-Tainer top plate on the opening of the stainless steel 2.
container. The top plate should seal to the container with an O-ring.
Turn the Stoppering-Tainer handle until the clear stoppering plate is almost 3.
touching the stoppers.
Fit the 1/2” Hose Nipple (located on the top plate) into a Quik-Dry valve, or 4.
connect it to an existing auxiliary port using rubber tubing and the appropriate
adapters.
After system drying is complete but while the system is under vacuum, turn 5.
the Stoppering-Tainer handle clockwise to firmly press the stoppers into the
vials.
Once stoppering and the system process is complete, disconnect the 6.
Stoppering-Tainer hose nipple, and remove the top plate by turning the
Stoppering-Tainer handle in the opposite direction.
Remove the vials from the Stoppering-Tainer stainless steel container. 7.
