Efficient Humidity Control for the Pharmaceutical Industry
Why effective dehumidification is critical in pharmaceutical manufacturing and processing
Pharmaceutical ingredients and products are often extremely hygroscopic and are easily damaged by excess moisture. Uncontrolled humidity in pharmaceutical production can also lead to dangerous mold and bacteria growth, contaminated or poor-quality product, and serious compliance issues.
Munters has decades of experience in the pharmaceutical industry, and we provide a range of desiccant dehumidifiers for the pharmaceutical industry. Our solutions are available for every area of pharmaceutical production, from small R&D labs to large clean rooms and commercial processing lines.
Benefits of Moisture Control
- Protect sensitive active pharmaceutical ingredients
- Ensure product quality and safety
- Adhere to GMP and maintain regulatory compliance
- Avoid unexpected downtime
“Without dehumidification, even the slightest amount of excess moisture will cause ice to build on the specimens. This is a fundamental barrier to producing quality electron microscopic images. If the resolution is poor, we won’t get the image and won’t solve what we need to”.
Dr Chris Russo, Laboratory of Molecular Biology (MRC LMB), Group leader

Problems caused excess moisture in Pharmaceuticals
Without precise humidity control, every step of the pharmaceutical manufacturing process can be negatively affected. Without precise humidity control:
- Raw materials will clump and stick during storage and conveying
- Dosing and granulation can be compromised during mixing and blending
- In cleanrooms and R&D labs, uncontrolled humidity can affect test result reproducibility
- Excess moisture can create instant drying and coating
- During filling and packing, humidity and moisture can harm product efficacy and reduce shelf life.
- Moisture in the cold chain creates frost, ice, and dangerous conditions.
Benefits of Dehumidification in Pharmaceuticals
The most effective way to control moisture in you pharmaceutical manufacturing facility or clean room is with a Munters desiccant dehumidifier.
Benefits of desiccant dehumidification:
- Year round, precise humidity and moisture control
- Maintain industry standards and regulatory compliance
- Maintain product efficacy and shelf life
- Reduce the risk of mold or bacteria growth
- Eliminate condensation
- Prevent ingredient or product clumping and sticking
Pharmaceutical manufacturing requires precise humidity control all year round to ensure critical formulations are manufactured in the perfect climate.
Secure your process and production targets with the Munters DSS Pro. A quality solution that provides stable, long-lasting performance, while still saving energy. When you need the air to remain at a precise humidity during production, the DSS Pro is the solution you can rely on.
Do you use a cold store in your process? Without good climate control, your cold storage will develop condensation and a buildup of ice. State-of-the-art cold room dehumidification solutions prevent condensation before it turns into frost or ice, improving safety, product quality, and operational efficiency.
Discover Munters IceDry 1400 AirC. Safe, efficient, and proven in operation, it tackles humidity at its source. This stand-alone dehumidifier is designed specifically for cold storage and freezer facilities, and minimizes downtime as well as defrost or maintenance in your cold storage facility.
