Achieve high-quality standards with pharmaceutical dehumidification

During the filling and packing stage of medicinal products, dry air is essential. If indoor atmospheres are too damp, active ingredients can spoil, the safety of your items declines, pharmaceutical packaging breaks down, and the shelf-life of your drugs can plummet.

Maintaining ideal conditions in these sensitive areas demands nothing less than capable, industrial dehumidifiers. Our dry air technology represents the best in European engineering and build quality, protecting your equipment and products’ integrity from water damage with optimal energy efficiency.

Humidity control and drying for pharmaceutical packaging: FAQs

Why is humidity control important in pharmaceutical packaging?

Humidity control is vital when filling and packing pharmaceutical products. Moist ambient air in these settings can quickly degrade or entirely ruin hygroscopic powders, granules and dragées.

Whether that’s because water vapour causes powders to go lumpy, damp air makes active ingredients less effective, or moisture contaminates pills – uncontrolled relative humidity (RH) often results in faster product degradation, shorter shelf-lives and subpar performance.

Poorly managed indoor air can also damage the pharmaceutical packaging you use, be that paper instructions, foil pouches or cardboard boxes. Furthermore, the machinery that handles this key task can sustain long-term water damage when exposed to high humidity levels.

To prevent costly product wastage, disruptive equipment repairs and GMP compliance breaches, talk to our experts in pharmaceutical climate control for bespoke advice on securing the right dehumidifiers and dryers for your facilities.

How do dehumidifiers help maintain product stability in pharmaceutical packing?

Dehumidifiers maintain product stability during the filling and packing stage by constantly processing room air. As excess water vapour is captured and drained away, the resulting dry air prevents your pharmaceutical products from absorbing excess moisture, clumping, developing mould or becoming unsafe to consume.

What types of dehumidifiers are commonly used in pharmaceutical packing facilities?

Desiccant dehumidifiers, condensation dehumidifiers and industrial dryers can maintain suitably dry environments, helping you shield your sensitive pharmaceutical products, machinery and packaging materials from water damage.

As a manufacturer with decades of experience supplying humidity control to pharmaceutical manufacturing processes worldwide, reach out to our team for help selecting the most fitting solution for your settings.

Can dehumidifiers help prevent microbial contamination in pharmaceutical products?

Yes. Our air moisture removal systems minimise the risk of mould growth and harmful microorganisms lingering in the air, helping ensure your finished products are safe from contamination.

How do dehumidifiers contribute to regulatory compliance in pharmaceutical packing?

Keeping moisture under control when packing pharmaceutical products is essential for adhering to GMP guidelines and other strict regulatory standards. By helping to safeguard the quality, safety and efficacy of your medicinal goods, dehumidifiers support your efforts to stay compliant.

What are the benefits of using desiccant dehumidifiers or industrial dryers when packing pharmaceuticals?

When you use a capable desiccant dehumidifier or industrial dryer to keep the atmospheres in your packing environments carefully controlled:

  • The quality, safety and efficacy of the items you handle are maintained

  • You ensure compliance with GMP guidance and other regulatory standards

  • You reduce the amount of spoilt medicine you have to discard

  • The shelf-life of your finished products is maximised

  • The condition and reliability of your packing machinery improves

  • The lifecycle costs of your equipment are reduced

When you deploy fit-for-purpose dry air equipment in your facility, your business’s operational efficiency and overall profitability improve.

To get the solutions you need to power your operations long-term, talk to our experts for bespoke recommendations based on your unique requirements.

How do dehumidifiers protect packaging materials in pharmaceutical packing?

By physically removing water vapour from the air, moisture control systems shield pharmaceutical packaging from water damage, be they plastic blister packs, paperboard cartons or anything in between.

Can I buy your humidity control units for pharmaceutical packaging online?

We don’t make our pharmaceutical dry air equipment available to purchase online to ensure that every system we design, manufacture and supply fits your exact requirements. By taking a consultative approach with a highly-trained expert, we make sure that you are only recommended equipment that meets your needs – and fulfils these in the most efficient, cost-effective way possible.
