Precision Humidity Control for the Pharmaceutical Industry
Maintaining optimal humidity levels is critical in the pharmaceutical industry, where excess moisture can lead to product degradation, equipment failures, and hygiene concerns. Strict humidity control is essential for tablet coating, granulation, capsule drying, and packaging, ensuring product stability, reduced waste, and increased efficiency.
The Impact of Uncontrolled Humidity in Pharmaceutical Production
Excessive moisture during pharmaceutical manufacturing and storage can cause:
- Condensation on production equipment – leading to contamination risks
- Clumping of hygroscopic materials – affecting powders and granulated ingredients
- Tablets sticking together during coating – increasing waste and production inefficiencies
- Slow drying of hard and soft gelatin capsules – reducing productivity
- Loss of active ingredients – as high drying temperatures degrade sensitive compounds
- Mould and bacteria development – compromising hygiene and regulatory compliance
- Packaging adhesion issues – causing sealing and labelling problems
- Frequent equipment maintenance and downtime – increasing operational costs
Where Humidity Control Is Critical in Pharmaceutical Processing
Precise moisture control is essential across various stages of pharmaceutical production, including:
- Granulation & Powder Processing – Prevents clumping, improves flowability, and enhances tablet compression
- Tablet Coating – Reduces adhesion issues, accelerates drying time, and enhances coating uniformity
- Gelatin Capsule Drying – Speeds up drying time for soft and hard capsules
- Packaging & Storage – Prevents moisture absorption, clumping, and degradation of active ingredients
- Cleanrooms & Controlled Environments – Ensures regulatory compliance and contamination control
When humidity is controlled with desiccant technology, drying time for pharmaceutical processes can be reduced by up to 50%, increasing efficiency and output.
