Why are INDE Dry Cabinets so important?

The fundamental objective of a Dry Cabinet is to maintain a preset RH (Relative Humidity) level inside the cabinet to help protect the sensitive products like SMD components, DSLR Cameras and Expensive Camera Lenses placed inside it away from the outside humidity. As outlined earlier, the humidity inside the Dry Cabinet is sucked out by the powerful Zeolite Desiccant. These desiccant are automatically recycled with the in-built heating mechanism and does not require any replacement. The moisture absorbed by the zeolite desiccant is then released outside of the dry cabinet automatically.

Uncontrolled humidity levels (particularly on the coastal belt of India) can easily destroy sensitive SMDs and expensive DSLR Cameras. Our ESD Safe Dehumidifying Dry Storage Cabinets are a must to maintain high reliability of Bare/Assembled PCBs and expensive VLSI ICs & other SMD components. Photography experts also need our dry storage cabinets for storing their expensive DSLR Cameras and Camera Lenses away from Humid Environment. Our Dry Storage Cabinets not only prevent moisture from entering into SMD Circuits and expensive camera lenses, but also prolong their life significantly.

Just to expand it further, the miniaturization in the field of electronics requires use of expensive VLSI (Very Large Scale Integration) ICs that are not only sensitive to static charge but are also vulnerable to uncontrolled moisture. Such VLSI ICs need higher level of moisture control as otherwise they will have internal cracking during reflow process because of moisture expansion. Prevention lies in storing such VLSI ICs in an ESD Safe and Humidity controlled Dry Storage Cabinet.

Moisture can cause fogging or clouding on lenses, which can reduce their effectiveness or render them unusable. By maintaining a low humidity environment, dry storage cabinets can prevent moisture damage and help to maintain the clarity and effectiveness of optics.

- ARTIFACTS: Museums and archives often use dry storage cabinets to protect artifacts and documents from moisture damage. Moisture can cause degradation and decay of materials like paper, leather, and textiles, which can result in irreversible damage. By controlling the humidity levels, dry storage cabinets can preserve the condition of these materials.

- PHARMACEUTICALS: Dry storage cabinets are also used in the pharmaceutical industry to store drugs and vaccines. Moisture can cause degradation and loss of potency of drugs, which can compromise their effectiveness. By maintaining a low humidity environment, dry storage cabinets can help to preserve the potency and effectiveness of pharmaceuticals.

- FOOD: Dry storage cabinets are used in the food industry to store dry goods like grains, seeds, and nuts. Moisture can cause spoilage and mold growth, which can render the food unsafe for consumption. Dry storage cabinets can help to maintain the freshness and quality of these foods by keeping them dry and free from moisture.

In summary, dry storage cabinets are essential equipment in a variety of industries and applications where maintaining a low humidity environment is critical to protecting moisture-sensitive items from damage.

TO OBTAIN OPTIMUM PERFORMANCE

INDE Dry Cabinets are designed and manufactured to perform at an optimum level at all times. However, to get the best out of our Dry Cabinets there is an electronic calibration feature in every dry cabinet. We provide a comprehensively detailed instruction manual for the same. A calibration of dry cabinet is required once every year particularly if you keep sensitive SMD components and expensive DSLR camera lenses to store it. The procedure of calibration is very simple.

To get the best performance out of INDE Dry Cabinet, do keep it away from direct sunlight or near to heat sources. Keep adequate space between the rear of the INDE Dry Cabinet and the wall to allow proper venting. To avoid the valve doors being blocked by tiny objects and dust particles keep it in clean environment. Just as a precautionary measure do not store items inside the INDE Dry Cabinet too close to the desiccator unit. This may hinder the proper functioning of desiccator and the humidity level may not be reduced. These basic steps are enough to get the best out of our Dry Cabinets. These implies to all modes of our dry cabinets.

RECOVERY TIME OF A DRY CABINET

The fundamental objective of a Dry Cabinet is to maintain a preset RH (Relative Humidity) level inside the cabinet to help protect the products placed inside it away from the outside humidity. However, once the door of the Dry Cabinet is opened the ‘RH’ value inside the cabinet suddenly increases due to exposure to outside humidity. Recovery time of a Dry Cabinet is the time required for the cabinet to reach the RH level inside the cabinet back to its set point after the door has been opened and closed. The Recovery Time of our dry cabinet is very quick as we see this feature mandatory to protect sensitive SMD components from any prolonged exposure to high humidity. We use top quality desiccators in our dry cabinets to ensure smooth running for many years without any problem.

The main unit of the dehumidifying cabinet contains powerful molecular sieve desiccants. These molecular sieve desiccants traps moisture via van-der-Waals force and capillary attraction. Thus, during power outage, the INDE Dry Cabinets continues its de-humidification abilities.

INDE DRY STORAGE CABINETS - THE LARGEST BASE PAN INDIA WITH REPEAT ORDERS

INDE Enterprises is the Number 1 Supplier of Dry Storage Cabinet (Dry Cabinet) in India with largest installation base PAN India with repeat orders. INDE Dry Storage Cabinets are simply the best in India. We are constantly updating all our visitors about our new clients on our official Twitter Account - however, some of our repeat order clients are:

Desiccant technology uses highly porous crystalline material belonging to alumino silicates class, called Zeolite. Zeolite desiccant is refreshed by controlled heating and allows the trapped moisture in it to escape thru the vents located at the back side of the Cabinet. Once Zeolite desiccant material is refreshed thru heating, it seals off the back side vents and opens to the interior side for dehumidification to set level as programmed.

The de-humidification level inside is continuously compared to the preset level till it achieves the desired RH level. Zeolite material Re-heating of the Zeolite desiccant material starts only when the humidity inside the cabinet exceeds the absorption capacity of Zeolite drying material. Normally the re-generation of the Zeolite desiccant material thru just 8 minutes heating, suffices for many weeks of de-humudification process.

Absorption Stage:
Valves are opened inward and closed outward in order to absorb moisture in the desiccators from the Cabinet and stored items/ components placed inside and maintains the set humidity with repeated process.

Exhaustion Stage:
Valves are closed inward and opened outward in order to exhaust moisture from saturated desiccators to atmosphere outside the dehumidifying dry cabinet.
