Operation (Opening): The ampoules are placed into a manually operated spring loaded chuck and a flame is brought to bear on the top of the ampoule. As the flame approaches the glass an electric switch is thrown and the chuck rotates and the ampoule is opened with the flame.

Operation (Sealing): The gripper jaws are placed onto the ampoule neck and the flame operated. As the glass becomes plastic the counter weight pulling on the jaws draws off the ampoule neck and a perfect rounded finish is achieved with very little practice. The drawn off tip is dropped into a detachable box at the side of the machine to cool before disposal. The sealing process is quick, regular in height and equivalent to that obtained from an automatic machine.

Although specially designed to open and close closed-type ampoules, this versatile machine will also handle open-type ampoules after washing.
