The WAVE Hygromax is a heavy-duty industrial cold trap that removes moisture from the air by condensing and continuously collecting water — up to 25 litres per hour. Unlike desiccant dehumidifiers, the Hygromax uses the proven cold-trap refrigeration system from the WAVE IC-series freeze dryers, requires no consumables, and runs continuously without interrupt-for-defrost cycles. It is built as a custom, made-to-order solution for facilities where precise humidity control is mission-critical.
KEY FEATURES
Up to 25 litres of water condensed per hour
Continuous operation — no stop-for-defrost cycles
Based on proven WAVE IC-series refrigeration
Clean-room compatible, low particulate output
No consumables — no desiccant to regenerate or replace
Made-to-order — configurable airflow, filtration, HVAC integration
Where the Hygromax Is Used
The Hygromax is designed for facilities where air moisture directly impacts product quality, yield, or safety. Typical installations include:
Pharmaceutical & Biotech
Clean rooms, vial-filling suites, API storage, tablet compression — wherever moisture would spoil the product or compromise sterility.
Hospitals & Clinics
Sterile suites, operating-theatre preparation, medicine storage, and dehumidification of isolation rooms.
Lithium Battery Manufacturing
Electrode drying and cell-assembly dry rooms, where sub-1% relative humidity is essential for cell quality and safety.
Food Production
Bakeries, chocolate tempering, powder handling, spice and ingredient drying — preventing caking and microbial growth.
Semiconductor & Electronics
PCB assembly, wafer handling, and moisture-sensitive component storage in tightly controlled clean-room atmospheres.
Composites & Aerospace
Carbon-fibre layup, pre-preg storage, and adhesive curing — all processes that demand a dry, stable environment.
Museums & Archives
Long-term preservation of paintings, manuscripts, and artefacts at stable, controlled humidity.
Cold Storage & Logistics
Preventing ice build-up on evaporators and door seals in refrigerated warehouses and cold chains.
Why Choose the Hygromax
Highest capacity in its class
Up to 25 litres of water condensed per hour — orders of magnitude more than typical desiccant wheel dehumidifiers.
Continuous, uninterrupted operation
The dual-circuit defrost removes ice without stopping airflow, so humidity levels stay stable 24 / 7.
No consumables, lower TCO
Unlike desiccant systems, the Hygromax consumes no silica gel, molecular sieves, or regeneration gas. Electricity is the only input.
Clean-room compatible
Stainless construction, low particulate emission, and quiet operation make it safe to install inside GMP and ISO-rated spaces.
Built on proven industrial technology
The refrigeration circuit is the same field-hardened design used in WAVE IC-series industrial freeze dryers operating in 30+ countries.
Fully customisable
Airflow rate, inlet/outlet filtration, voltage, refrigerant choice, and HVAC integration are specified per project.
Configuration
QUALITY
Built around the proven cold-trap refrigeration circuit from the WAVE IC-series industrial freeze dryers — a robust, field-proven design.
SERVICE
Full WAVE support programme: remote diagnostics, spare-parts availability, and on-site service from Austria, Denmark, Spain, India, and the USA.
VERSATILITY
Ideal for clean rooms, pharmaceutical production, hospitals, battery manufacturing, electronics assembly, museums, and cold-storage facilities.
COSTS
From EUR 135,000 net. Electricity-only operation and zero consumables keep long-term running costs low compared to desiccant systems.
