Choosing the Right Capseal Crimping Tool

A properly selected drum capseal crimper helps apply a capseal securely over a drum closure. Capseals are commonly used to provide tamper evidence, help protect drum closures, and identify whether a container has been opened or disturbed.

Not all capseal crimping tools are interchangeable. The correct tool depends on the capseal's diameter, material, and design.

What to Consider When Selecting a Capseal Crimper

Capseal Size: Drum capseals are commonly available in 2-inch and 3/4-inch sizes. Select a crimping tool designed for the size of the capseal being applied.

Capseal Material: Steel, aluminum, and poly capseals may require different tools or application methods. Confirm the tool is intended for your specific capseal material.

Capseal Design: Standard capseals, VGC capseals, and hex-head capseals can have different crimping requirements. Matching the tool to the capseal style helps ensure proper application.

Drum Closure Compatibility: Verify that the capseal, bung closure, and crimping tool are compatible before use.

A capseal crimper is a tool used to apply and secure a capseal over a drum bung or closure. It crimps or forms the capseal around the closure area, depending on the capseal design, helping provide tamper evidence and additional closure protection.
Some crimping tools are designed to work with both steel and aluminum capseals, while others are material-specific. Check the individual product specifications before using a tool with multiple capseal materials.
No. A capseal is not a replacement for a properly installed drum plug, gasket, or closure. The primary closure system is responsible for maintaining the drum's seal. Capseals provide additional protection and, depending on their design, tamper evidence.
Start by identifying the capseal size, material, and design. Then verify that the crimping tool is compatible with the capseal and drum closure configuration. If you're unsure, BASCO can help you identify an appropriate tool for your application
