The new generation of desiccant capsules - Sanner AdCap®

The innovative design of AdCap® combines the advantages of both conventional desiccant capsules and desiccant canisters into a single product. Our desiccant capsules ensure that moisture or odors are optimally adsorbed immediately after filling. And it doesn't matter where the AdCap® desiccant capsule is located inside the product container thanks to its integrated cardboard disc and the lattice structure within the canister wall. AdCap® desiccant capsules are your 360-degree moisture absorber.

High adsorption desiccation and easy processing properties for safe and efficient moisture control

  • Filling process speeds of 300 to 600 pieces per minute thanks to the cylindrical and flat shape on all standard filling systems
  • High pressure stability compared to conventional desiccant canisters
  • Reduced risk of unwanted intake thanks to the unique canister lattice structure
  • No dust formation thanks to filling with spherical silica gel (SG) and molecular sieve (MS) desiccant materials
  • Easier desiccant identification with type and weight printed on the cardboard disc
  • All materials used in Sanner AdCap® desiccant canisters comply with relevant U.S. FDA 21 CFR and EU food safety regulations, as well as United States Pharmacopeia (USP) <661.1> and <670>. In addition, Sanner AdCap® is listed in a Type III DMF with the U.S. FDA
