Collection: Capsules & Cannisters

Desiccant canisters are a drop-in style desiccant and sorbent components that help maintain drug stability and prolong shelf life inside healthcare packaging containers.  Available with a variety of active materials, canisters offer the added benefit of high-speed insertion on standard packaging equipment.  Unlike desiccant packets, canisters do not require a cutting process for automatic insertion and can be hopper fed. 

Canisters are ideal for pharmaceutical and nutraceutical products that are susceptible to either chemical or physical degradation due to moisture.  Silica gel (silicone dioxide) and molecular sieve (zeolite) are offered depending on the moisture adsorption attributes required for any given application.  Active carbon is used either independently or in combination with silica gel to provide odor adsorption properties.

Royco offers desiccant canisters that are fully compliant with US FDA and EU regulations for use in pharmaceutical applications and that comply with US Pharmacopeia USP <670> standard for pharmaceutical desiccants.
