WHAT ARE DESICCATORS?
Desiccators (also known as dehydrators or dehumidifiers) are self-contained moisture control systems that use desiccant to protect the contents of enclosures from moisture damage and are used in a wide variety of aerospace and electronic applications. There are two basic types of desiccators: dynamic and static. Dynamic desiccators are self-regenerating, usually large and expensive, and require an external power source. Static desiccators, on the other hand, can vary in size from tiny packets or capsules to 55-gallon drum-sized canisters and larger, filled with chemical desiccant. They are generally much less expensive, but require periodic re-energizing or replacement. Over the last 40+ years, AGM has designed and produced hundreds of different static desiccators. The ones shown on this website demonstrate the wide variety of shapes and sizes that are possible to fit the required application. They are available in both standard and custom configurations, made from various materials an
