INTRODUCTION AND SAFETY
INTRODUCTION
This manual has been prepared to aid you in the operation of your KEBBY POWER
CRIMP.
The Kebby “Power Crimp” is a pneumatically controlled crimping tool. It has been
designed to increase the speed, ease, pressure and repeatability of crimping for most
sizes of bottles and caps.
Kebby Industries is very well-known for the high quality of all their crimping and
de-capping tools. The Power Crimp is no different. The quality of the Power Crimp is
easily seen in the top grade fittings, high quality regulator assembly, stainless steel hose,
and the corrosion-resistant finish. The variety of accessories will enhance the ease and
function of the Power Crimp.
This unit has been designed for ease in set-up and operation. The Power Heads are
easily removed from the Power Crimp so that size changes can be accomplished
quickly. The Kebby “Power Crimp” and Power Heads will provide a smooth, fast and
accurate crimp. The quickness and quality of the crimp makes the Power Crimp very
cost effective.
Kebby Industries feels that once you have used the Kebby “Power Crimp” and
accessories, you will not want to go back to hand crimping.
