Dehumidification for Soft Gelatin Capsule Manufacturing


A dry room is a specialized environment designed to maintain extremely low humidity levels. These controlled spaces are vital in various industries, particularly in manufacturing processes that require precise moisture control.

Precise Environmental Control for Quality Capsule Production

Our custom solutions provide exact control over air conditions including specific temperature, airflow, and humidity levels for soft gelatin capsule manufacturing.

Why Humidity Control Matters

Gelatin’s sensitivity to environmental conditions makes dehumidification essential. When humidity levels are too high:

  • Gelatin ribbons fail to solidify properly
  • Production lines slow down or stop
  • Product quality becomes inconsistent
  • Manufacturing waste increases

Optimal Conditions Through Desiccant Dehumidification

Bry-Air’s desiccant dehumidifiers maintain the precise environment needed for successful soft gel capsule production:

  • Steady air temperature
  • Controlled humidity levels
  • Balanced air velocity
  • Consistent production conditions

Benefits of Proper Dehumidification

Implementing effective moisture control delivers measurable advantages:

  • Reduced production delays
  • Improved product consistency
  • Lower manufacturing waste
  • Extended equipment life
  • Reliable production schedules

Frequently Asked Questions

What humidity level is needed for soft gelatin capsule production?

Most manufacturers require relative humidity between 35-45% for optimal capsule formation. The exact level depends on your specific process and product requirements.

How does humidity affect gelatin ribbon formation?

High humidity prevents proper gelatin solidification, while low humidity can make ribbons brittle. Controlled humidity ensures consistent ribbon formation and capsule quality.

Can existing HVAC systems handle soft gel manufacturing needs?

Standard HVAC systems typically cannot maintain the precise conditions required. Purpose-built desiccant dehumidification systems provide the necessary environmental control.

What maintenance does a pharmaceutical dehumidification system need?

Regular filter changes, desiccant wheel inspection, and performance monitoring help maintain optimal operation. Bry-Air provides comprehensive maintenance guidance and support.

How quickly can a dehumidification system be installed?

Installation timelines vary based on facility requirements and system specifications. Most systems can be operational within 2-4 weeks after delivery.
