Dehumidifiers for Pharmaceutical & Nutraceutical Manufacture

A pharmaceutical-grade dehumidifier system maintains precise low-humidity conditions to protect sensitive materials and prevent moisture-related degradation.

Our systems help you:

  • Prevent caking, sticking, and powder flow issues

  • Improve coating consistency and drying performance

  • Protect hygroscopic compounds

  • Maintain compliance with TGA & GMP standards

We advise on desiccant vs. refrigerant dehumidifiers based on:

  • RH requirements

  • Room classification

  • Heat load

  • Airflow and pressure requirements

  • Integration with existing HVAC

Our Dehumidifiers
 

Climate-Controlled Pharmaceutical Production

Humiscope designs and builds controlled temperature (CT) rooms and low-humidity environments for pharmaceutical and nutraceutical manufacturing across Australia.

Our custom solutions integrate HVAC, refrigeration, desiccant or refrigerant dehumidifiers, thermostats, and high-performance insulation to achieve precise temperature and relative humidity control.

Applications of Humidity Control in Pharmaceutical Manufacturing

Drying process of gelatin capsules under controlled humidity

Gelatin Capsules

Both hard and soft gelatin capsules require strict humidity and temperature regulation during formation and drying.

If humidity is too low, gelatin becomes brittle; too high, and it fails to solidify correctly. Humiscope systems maintain ideal drying conditions, ensuring capsule uniformity and preventing product loss.

Tablet coating process with dry air supplied by Humiscope dehumidifier system

Tablet Pan Coating

Moisture during the coating process can alter the stability and release profile of the finished product. Our systems supply dry, temperature-controlled air to coating pans, enabling efficient evaporation and consistent film quality.

Effervescent tablet production line with humidity control equipment

Effervescent & Hygroscopic Compounds

Effervescent tablets and hygroscopic powders are extremely moisture-sensitive. Maintaining low RH throughout production and packaging prevents unwanted absorption and preserves reactivity.

Ideal Humidity Levels for Pharmaceutical Manufacturing

All humidity recommendations align with common GMP AND TGA manufacturing requirements.

For most powder and compound formulations, the relative humidity should not exceed 25% RH. The optimal inlet airflow for coating pans is typically between 32–35 °C with 15–20% RH.

Maintaining these precise conditions reduces batch variation, prevents microbial growth, and ensures compliance with industry standards.
