Precise Humidity Control for Pharmaceutical & Nutraceutical Manufacturing
Prevent product degradation, protect hygroscopic materials and maintain GMP & TGA compliance.
✔ Serving Australian pharmaceutical manufacturers for 30+ years
✔ Custom GMP-ready designs
Precision humidity control is essential for the consistent quality, safety, and shelf life of pharmaceutical and nutraceutical products. From R&D laboratories to mass-production facilities, fluctuations in relative humidity can affect both chemical and mechanical properties compromising the integrity of tablets, capsules, and coatings..

This all-in-one desiccant dehumidifier and air conditioner was installed for a GMP-compliant pharmaceutical facility in NSW. It provides precise temperature and humidity control for production and packaging environments.
““A Huge Thank you for your help today. Andrew got the unit up and operational very quickly. Your assistance was greatly appreciated. ”
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
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.

Whether you require a validated cleanroom for capsule drying or a large-scale production space with stable RH levels, Humiscope engineers and technicians deliver systems that meet stringent GMP standards.
Applications of Humidity Control in Pharmaceutical Manufacturing
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 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 & 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.
