Desiccant Inserter Applications
SaintyCo desiccant inserters protect moisture-sensitive products like tablets, capsules, and softgels in the pharmaceutical and nutraceutical industries. They’re also used in food and cosmetics for everything from candy and mints to bath salts and powders for personal care.
What Is A Desiccant Inserter?
A desiccant inserter is an automated machine that forms part of a packaging line, usually positioned after the filling station and before the capping stage.
They’re a critical stage of packaging, as the desiccants prevent product degradation caused by moisture or humidity. This is essential for everything from probiotic pills to COVID test kits and cancer medication.
The machinery’s function is to place desiccants into containers like bottles, tubes, or vials. The most common type of desiccants are silica gel sachets, though SaintyCo equipment is compatible with other materials (like activated carbon) and forms (like canisters or capsules).
While our product catalog is diverse, SaintyCo desiccant inserters typically consist of a feeding mechanism, cutting mechanism (for sachets), insertion mechanism, conveyor, sensors, rejection system, control panel, and safety guards, all combined in a sturdy stainless steel frame.

Desiccant Inserter Components
We manufacture the components for our desiccant inserters in-house, using precision CNC machining, EDM, and custom tooling. This means we control every stage of production to ensure perfect integration between parts and maximum performance.
Containers are fed into the desiccant insertion zone from a bottle unscrambler. We offer models with vibratory tracks, star wheels, or servo-driven conveyors.
Our intelligent system aligns bottles using precise indexing mechanisms like linear rails or rotary star plates, with adjustable guides for bottles of different sizes.
We offer various feed systems like vibrating hoppers, cassette magazines, and coil feeders with cutters, depending on the desiccant format.
A pneumatic or servo-driven actuator places desiccants in bottles, with options for vacuum-assisted pick and place or gravity-assisted drop tubes.
Moves bottles away from the desiccant inserter zone, past reject stations, which separate incorrectly filled or damaged units, onto the next stage, such as capping.
SaintyCo’s PLC units manage desiccant inserter functions as they happen, with a user-friendly HMI for live alarms, maintenance prompts, and adjustments.
Insert Any Desiccant Type
Whether you’re working with standard silica gel pouches, molecular sieves, activated carbon, or a combination of the above, our desiccant inserters can handle the task. Our machines are built for packet rolls, canisters, tablets, or pre-cut strips.
Cleanrooms & HPAPIs
SaintyCo desiccant inserters are appropriate for ISO 5-8 cleanrooms. Many of our clients handle HPAPIs in their facilities, and our machinery is designed with that in mind. Our models include pharmaceutical-grade features like HEPA enclosures, automatic cleaning, dust containment, and negative pressure zones. We also provide full validation support for GMP, FDA, and EU Annex 1 compliance.

Desiccant Inserter Product Categories
Whether you’re packaging life-saving medication or tasty snacks, you can rely on SaintyCo dessicant inserts to get the job done. We offer single and multi-head products to suit your budget and production goals.
Our single-head desiccant inserters feature one dispensing mechanism. This means one desiccant is inserted into one bottle at a time. These machines tend to have a smaller footprint and are more than adequate for low-medium speed lines.
Instantly double your output with two insertion heads. Our dual-head machines are ideal for high-volume production. The heads can operate in tandem or alternately, and maximize uptime even if one head needs repair or replacement.
SaintyCo are pharmaceutical machinery experts. All our desiccant inserters are suitable for cGMP-compliant pharma lines with strict validation requirements and are compatible with desiccants pre-approved for drug contact.
Dried snack and confectionery producers trust SaintyCo desiccant inserts. Our machinery safely handles food-grade desiccant sachets and is built with FDA-compliant materials like stainless steel.
Choose Your Automation Level
At SaintyCo, we offer different levels of automation depending on how you want the desiccant inserter to integrate with your existing machinery and setup.
Our automated desiccant inserters use advanced methods like photoelectric, fiber-optic, and weight sensors to detect bottles on a conveyor and inspect them post-insertion. Insertion includes pneumatic or servo-controlled methods with no operator necessary, ideal for 24/7 high-speed production lines.
For low-medium volume production, pilot runs, smaller lines, contract manufacturing, or multi-product facilities, our semi-automated desiccant inserters may be the right choice. Depending on the model, they may rely on visual checks, bottle placement, system oversight, and manual adjustments from a trained operator.

“We were operating with a semi-automatic desiccant inserter for many years. When we decided it was finally time to bring this phase up to speed and in line with the rest of the packaging line, I got quotes from around 4 or 5 manufacturers. SaintyCo was by far the fastest and most reasonably priced. After having been through the whole process, I’m glad we went with them. Their service is fantastic, and the desiccant inserter is an exemplary piece of machinery.”
Martin KempDirector of Production, PharmaEqua“I’d like to express my thanks to the whole team at SaintyCo who handled our desiccant inserter order. The price was fair, the shipping was fast, and they kept us informed about the status of the order regularly. The communication was great, and nothing was too much trouble. The dual-head design is exactly what we needed to optimize packaging line speed and efficiency. So far, it’s been operating for roughly 15 months with zero downtime.”

Desiccant Inserter Feeding Mechanism
Our desiccant inserters are available with several types of feeding mechanisms, including roll feeders, vibratory bowl feeders, and tube or magazine feeders. Each type is engineered for particular desiccant formats.
Roll feeders are designed for packets, which may also be called sachets or pouches. The packets are supplied on continuous rolls, which must be cut into individual packets before insertion. This is done with a precision indexing mechanism.
Vibratory bowl feeders are ideal for canister-type desiccants. These small, round, plastic canisters are guided from the bowl to a track and into the insertion head using vibration.
Our models with tube feeders, also known as magazine feeders, are made for pre-stacked desiccant units, often made up of rigid cartridges. As the bottles move underneath a drop point, the feeder releases a single unit. Because the units are pre-cut, there’s no orientation required, which simplifies the process.
