Crimpers & Decappers

Vial crimpers, decrimpers and decappers

For crimping and decapping aluminium caps on crimp top glass vials and bottles for HPLC, GC, Headspace and other applications.

  • Crimpers are used to correctly place the cap on the vial.
  • Decrimpers remove the cap by un-bending and physically removing it. They are easiest to use.
  • Decappers require more force and may bend or tear the cap from one side.
