Proper UN Pail Crimping
A preferred pail crimp sees the flowed-in gasket fully compressed because the cover is completely tucked when the angle is less than 90°.
An acceptable pail crimp has a slightly less compression as the cover’s tuck is at (or a little less than) 90°.
Unacceptable pail crimps have a closing angle greater than 90° resulting in a flowed-in gasket that is not fully compressed.
Closing Tool Repair and Loan
Closing tools include heat treated, die formed jaws and hardened spring steel pivot pins. Each tool is fully adjustable in both the open and closed positions to accomplish high quality closures. Pneumatic tools are readily adaptable to counter-balance or spring suspension systems, reducing operator fatigue.
