We study the motion of noncompact hypersurfaces moved by their mean curvature obtained by a rotation around $x$-axis of the graph a function $y=u(x,t)$ (defined for all $x\in \mathbb{R}$). We are interested to estimate its profile when the hypersurface closes open ends at the quenching (pinching) time $T$. We estimate its profile at the quenching time from above and below. We in particular prove that $u(x,T)$ ~ $|x|^{-a}$ as $|x|\to\infty$ if $u(x,0)$ tends to its infimum with algebraic rate $|x|^{-2a}$ (as $|x| \to \infty$ with $a>0$).
