Engineering Solutions for Your Packaging Challenges

We know that in pharmaceutical and diagnostic packaging, precision is a necessity. Here is how our engineering solves the specific risks you face:

1. Eliminate Dust & Contamination Risks

You cannot compromise on sterility. In your sterile environments, the risk of traditional sachets breaking or shedding fiber dust is simply unacceptable. 

We protect your product integrity using rigid, medical-grade plastic casings topped with a fused breathable mesh. This all-plastic design guarantees you a zero-dust environment, preventing any direct contact between the desiccant material and your sensitive tablets or test strips.

2. Overcome Automation Bottlenecks

You shouldn’t have to slow down your production line. Irregularly shaped desiccant bags often jam high-speed insertion hoppers, leading to downtime that costs you time and money.

We engineer our capsules with precise dimensional tolerances. They are designed to integrate seamlessly with your standard dispensing equipment, ensuring your lines maintain 100% throughput efficiency without the headache of mechanical jams.

3. Secure a Predictable Shelf-Life

You need to ensure your APIs remain potent. You face the constant challenge of fluctuating humidity during shipping, which threatens to degrade your Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients (APIs).

We help you maintain a stable internal environment regardless of external conditions. Whether you need high absorption at high humidity (using our Silica Gel) or superior stability in low-humidity/high-temperature conditions (using our Molecular Sieves), we provide the exact formulation required to protect your product’s lifespan.

Common Questions About Desiccant Capsules

Silica Gel capsules are best for general moisture protection and perform well across a range of humidity levels. Molecular Sieve capsules are more aggressive; they are ideal for applications requiring very low relative humidity (RH) or when products are exposed to higher temperatures.

Yes. Our products are manufactured using non-toxic materials. We operate under GMP standards , and our silica gel is DMF-free and meets RoHS/REACH requirements.

Absolutely. Our rigid capsules are engineered with precise dimensional tolerances specifically to prevent jamming in high-speed automated filling lines, unlike flexible sachets.

Yes, we offer customization options. While we have standard sizes (e.g., 0.5g, 1g), we can work with you to develop specific dimensions or print branding on the capsule casing depending on volume.

When stored in their original sealed packaging, our desiccants typically have a shelf life of up to 1 years. We recommend keeping them in a cool, dry place.
