Solving Your Moisture Control Bottlenecks
We understand that in high-speed manufacturing, your packaging components must perform as flawlessly as your product. Here is how we help you eliminate common production risks:
1. Keep Your Production Lines Running Smoothly
You cannot afford unplanned downtime. We know the frustration of high-speed hoppers jamming due to poorly dimensioned sachets or inconsistent canisters. Every stoppage costs you time and money.
We deliver Precision Engineering. Our desiccant cylinders are manufactured with uniform dimensions and smooth HDPE casings. We guarantee you 99.9% smooth runnability on standard insertion equipment, ensuring your line keeps moving at top speed.
2. Protect the Purity of Your Product
Your product quality is non-negotiable. In pharmaceutical and nutritional packaging, you have zero tolerance for “dusting”—where low-quality casings shed plastic fines or leak sorbent dust into your pill bottles.
We guarantee a Non-Dusting Design. By using advanced ultrasonic welding and medical-grade porous plastic ends (or non-woven barriers), we securely contain the sorbent. This ensures maximum airflow for moisture control while keeping your product completely free of contaminants.
3. Eliminate Regulatory Compliance Risks
You shouldn’t have to worry about recalls. Using uncertified materials exposes your brand to regulatory fines and the nightmare of product recalls.
We offer Full Compliance Confidence. Our canisters are manufactured in strict GMP-controlled environments. We ensure your packaging meets FDA 21 CFR, USP <670>, and EU food contact standards, so your documentation is always audit-ready.

Desiccant Canisters: Frequently Asked Questions
While both adsorb moisture, desiccant canisters (or cylinders) are rigid, usually made of HDPE. They are specifically designed for automated insertion machinery, allowing for much faster packaging speeds compared to packets, which often require cutting and can jam equipment.
Silica Gel is the most common and cost-effective choice for general moisture protection. Molecular Sieve is recommended for products that require very low relative humidity levels (close to 0%) or are exposed to higher temperature fluctuations.
Yes. Our canisters are manufactured using FDA-approved HDPE/PP plastics and high-grade sorbents that meet USP <670> requirements for auxiliary packaging components. They are safe for direct contact with food and pharmaceuticals.
Yes. While we offer standard sizes (1g, 2g, 3g) that fit most standard bottles, we can engineer custom dimensions and fill weights to match your specific bottle headspace and shelf-life requirements.
