Stop Moisture Ruining Your Plastic Production
Reliable Dehumidification for Injection Moulding & Plastics Manufacturing
Moisture in the air can cause havoc in the manufacture of plastics. Reduce rejects, prevent condensation on moulds and keep granules dry with engineered dehumidification systems for plastics plants.
HOW DOES MOISTURE AFFECT PLASTIC?
Moisture in the air condenses on cold moulds and is absorbed by plastic granules. That leads to defects, quality issues and unplanned downtime.
Condensation on moulds creates surface defects and shock cracks
Granules absorb moisture, causing bubbles and voids in finished parts
Stored hygroscopic compounds degrade and change properties
Loss of clarity and poor crystalline structure in clear plastics
Clarity and crystalline structure of end product is of poor quality.

FAQ
Here are some of the most common questions we receive from plastics manufacturers looking to improve quality, efficiency, and environmental control in their production space.
-
Moisture in hygroscopic resins can cause defects such as silver streaking, splay, and warping. Controlling humidity ensures resins stay dry before processing, improving surface quality and dimensional accuracy.
-
Yes. Our engineered solutions can be integrated into your current HVAC+R system or installed as standalone desiccant units, depending on your facility layout and production requirements.
-
It depends on your process. Many facilities only require targeted humidity control at the moulding machines or drying area, while high‑precision manufacturing may need a dedicated, climate‑controlled room. We design both.
-
Yes. Lower humidity and low dew point conditions help resin dryers work more efficiently, often reducing drying times and energy consumption.
-
We assess several factors including room size, production heat load, airflow patterns, number of people working in the area, moisture sources, and your required dew point. This ensures we specify a system that maintains stable conditions and delivers consistent performance.
