Munters Climate Control
COST-EFFECTIVE ENVIRONMENTAL CONTROL FOR DIVERSE APPLICATIONS
Achieve Optimal Environmental Conditions Throughout the Production Process with Munters and Engineered Solutions from
Lincoln Associates
Munters’ HCD and ICA series modular dehumidifiers and air handlers deliver essential dehumidification capabilities at every stage of the production process. Clients can seamlessly integrate these desiccant dehumidifiers into their processes or existing air conditioning systems, or combine additional modules to form an HCD Plus unit.
The Pharmaceutical Dehumidification Process
1. Dry Storage
Year-round humidity stability in dry storage areas helps prevent condensation, enhances powder flow, and minimizes cleaning frequency.
2. Cleanroom & R&D
In cleanroom environments, every element must be precisely controlled, including air quality. Inadequate humidity management can lead to outside conditions negatively impacting room environments.
3. Drying
Proper moisture balance is crucial for reliably blending excipients and active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs), ensuring that the granulating mixture stays in equilibrium with the surrounding air.
4. Weighing, Mixing, Granulating
Maintaining ideal environmental conditions allows for consistent blending of excipients and APIs while mitigating the effects of excess moisture.
5. Milling & Compressing/Tableting
Keeping humidity at the designated levels enhances production efficiency, reduces energy usage, and improves dosing precision.
6. Coating
Select optimal drying conditions to avoid coating issues such as roughness, blistering, haze, sticking, and erosion.
7. Vaccines & Parenteral Formulations
The quality of biologics, vaccines, and parenteral products relies on a clean, controlled environment. High humidity levels (>70% Relative Humidity) increase the risk of microbial contamination, while humidity control shortens drying times post-cleaning.
8. Packaging
During blow-fill-seal packaging processes, condensation on chilly surfaces can lead to defects affecting both appearance and structural soundness. Effective dew point management can prevent these issues.
9. Storage
Supplying low humidity air to cold storage areas helps avert the formation of ice, frost, and fog. After production, dried capsule shells are susceptible to humidity variations that can compromise their strength and appearance. A stable climate during packaging and storage mitigates these risks.
Munters helps maintain high product quality while optimizing energy consumption and enhancing productivity, ensuring your facility achieves the ideal humidity levels necessary for your specific food and beverage applications.
With extensive expertise in climate control, Munters effectively prevents condensation and significantly reduces the growth of mold and fungi. Trust Lincoln Associates and Munters to provide consistent conditions year-round, guaranteeing reliable quality, decreased waste, and extended shelf life for your food and beverage products.

HCD Series Modular Desiccant Dehumidifiers
Designed to effectively lower moisture levels, the modular desiccant dehumidifiers in Munters’ HCD Series handle airflow rates from 300 to 12,000 CFM. The unit casing, constructed from fully welded and strain-hardened aluminum, minimizes air leakage. The electrical control system adheres to NEC standards, with UL certification available as an option. All controls are securely located in a NEMA 4 control cage, and each unit is PLC controlled. Their robust design allows for both indoor and outdoor installations, providing flexibility in placement. The HCD Series includes all necessary components and controls for standalone dehumidifier operation.
Integrated Custom Air Handler (ICA) Series
The Munters Integrated Custom Air Handler (ICA) Series simplifies humidity control in construction or manufacturing. Collaborate with your Lincoln Associates sales engineer to design the perfect system for your needs using advanced selection software.
Offered in multiple configurations, the ICA Series has processing capabilities of up to 100,000 CFM and can withstand challenging conditions, such as -40°F dew points. This system includes a dehumidifier with eleven rotor sizes, five desiccant options, high-efficiency heating and cooling coils, refrigeration packages, supply and return HEPA filters, and is manufactured in an ISO 9001:2015 certified facility and is NRTL approved to UL standards.
ICA SERIES with RightDry®
The Munters Integrated Custom Air Handler (ICA) featuring RightDry® delivers enhanced energy efficiency for processes requiring dew points between 20°F and 40°F. Through innovations in rotor design and reactivation circuits, Munters has achieved a 10-15% improvement in energy efficiency compared to conventional desiccant dehumidifying systems.
