405 Wick Sustainer Crimping Machine with .109 Non Puncturing Tools

The Stimpson 405 Bench Press, paired with .109 Non-Puncturing Tooling, is the ideal solution for candle manufacturers seeking greater control and flexibility in their production process.

This setup is specifically designed to crimp metal sustainers onto waxed wick in-house, giving candle manufacturers enhanced control over their production process. The .109 Non-Puncturing tooling is intended for use with sustainers that have a hole diameter of 3.0mm or larger, and creates a non-punctured crimp—meaning the metal is crimped securely without being pierced during the process.

This method of crimping allows the flame to self-extinguish when it reaches the top of the sustainer barrel—provided the sustainer is firmly glued to the bottom of the container, preventing liquid wax from flowing underneath. As a result, some wax will remain at the bottom of the candle, supporting safety and reducing the risk of overheating or container failure.
