Desiccant strips are designed to seamlessly integrate into automatic packaging lines, enhancing efficiency and ensuring consistent protection across packaged products.

Filled with absorbing materials, such as silica gel, activated clay, and molecular sieve, they are tailored to provide efficient moisture absorption, ensuring the integrity and longevity of goods during storage and transportation.

Precision Dispensing for Effective Moisture Control

Automatic packaging lines with specialised dispensers accurately place desiccant packs into packages at predetermined intervals. These dispensers are programmed to match the packaging speed and volume, ensuring that each product receives the exact amount of desiccant required for effective moisture control.

The use of desiccant strips in automatic packaging lines streamlines the packaging process, eliminating the need for manual insertion and thereby reducing labour costs and potential human error. This efficiency speeds up the production line and ensures a consistent level of protection for every item packaged.

Our desiccant strips are made to be non-dusting, ensuring that products remain clean and uncontaminated. They are safe for food, pharmaceuticals, electronics, and more. Adherence to ISO 9001 and 14001 standards ensures our products meet high quality and environmental management systems. Our desiccant strips are available in continuous rolls or pre-cut lengths, offering flexibility to accommodate various packaging designs and requirements.

Desiccant strips are versatile and used in various applications. Here are some of their primary applications:

  • Pharmaceuticals: Protect medications, tablets, and capsules from moisture.
  • Diagnostics and Medical Devices: Keep diagnostic kits, medical devices.
  • Food Packaging: Extend the shelf life of dry foods by controlling humidity levels.
  • Electronics: Prevent moisture-induced corrosion and damage in electronic devices, components, and circuit boards during storage and shipping.
  • Optical Instruments: Protect optical components and instruments.
  • Textiles and Clothing: Maintain the quality and prevent mold and mildew in garments, textiles, and leather goods.
  • Industrial Products: Protect machinery parts, metal components, and industrial products from rust and corrosion.
  1. Assess Moisture Sensitivity: Determine the moisture sensitivity of the product to select the appropriate type and quantity of desiccant. Factors such as product type, packaging size, and expected environmental conditions play crucial roles.
  2. Select the Right Desiccant Material: Choose desiccant strips filled with materials suited to your product’s needs. Silica gel is versatile, while clay offers cost-effective moisture absorption, and molecular sieve is ideal for extremely low humidity requirements.
  3. Determine the Quantity: Use the manufacturer’s guidelines or a desiccant calculation tool to estimate the correct amount of desiccant required to protect your product effectively.
  4. Integrate into Packaging Lines: For automatic packaging lines, ensure desiccant strips are loaded into the specialized dispenser. These dispensers automatically insert the correct length of strip into each package at the set intervals, matching the line’s speed and volume.
  5. Manual Placement: If inserting manually, place the desiccant strip inside the packaging in a location where it won’t directly contact the product (unless it’s safe to do so), typically near the seal to ensure maximum exposure to trapped air.
  6. Ensure Proper Packaging: Desiccant strips work best in airtight or sealed environments. Ensure the packaging is sealed properly after inserting the desiccant to prevent external moisture from entering.
  7. Storage and Handling: Store unused desiccant strips in a sealed container to prevent them from absorbing moisture from the surrounding environment before use.
  8. Regulatory Compliance: Make sure the desiccant strips comply with any relevant regulations, especially for food and pharmaceutical products, ensuring they are safe for use with your specific goods.
  9. Monitor and Replace as Necessary: Depending on the duration of storage or shipment and environmental conditions, it may be necessary to replace desiccant strips to maintain optimal moisture protection.
