Abstract
A desiccant container (10) includes a cylindrical body (12) having a first end (14) and an opposed second end (16). The cylindrical body (12) defines a desiccant chamber (18) within the cylindrical body (12) for holding the desiccant material within the chamber (18) between the first and second ends (14, 16). The cylindrical body (12) is made of a flexible, gas permeable, liquid impermeable material. A first disk (20) is secured adjacent the first end (14), and a second disk (22) secured adjacent the second end (16) to facilitate closing of the ends (14, 16) and to support maintenance of a cylindrical shape of the container (10) during usage of the desiccant container (10) in high-speed automated packaging machinery.
