Dehumidifier Servicing

Industrial dehumidifiers operate continuously in many environments, managing moisture loads that change throughout the day and across the year. To keep performance consistent, regular servicing is essential. At Newsome, we provide a detailed dehumidifier servicing programme designed to preserve system efficiency, protect components and maintain accurate humidity control. With decades of experience working across many sectors, we recognise the importance of keeping equipment in good working order and ensuring it continues to support production, storage and processing requirements.

We service systems from SEIBU GIKEN DST AB and many other manufacturers. This broad knowledge allows us to support facilities with mixed equipment, older units and bespoke systems that require careful handling. With regional account managers, nationwide engineering teams and a strong service structure, we offer reliable servicing support throughout the UK.

    The Purpose of Routine Servicing

    Routine servicing plays a key role in preventing performance drift and reducing the risk of unexpected faults. Industrial dehumidifiers rely on accurate airflow, effective heat exchange and reliable control systems. Dust, moisture, natural wear and seasonal changes can all affect these elements over time. Without regular checks, a system can begin to remove moisture less efficiently or operate outside its intended performance range.

    Servicing helps maintain energy efficiency, extends component life and supports consistent humidity control. It also allows early identification of issues such as worn bearings, damaged seals, heater problems or sensor inaccuracies. By identifying these signs early, we help customers avoid more significant breakdowns and protect the reliability of their operations.

    Comprehensive Servicing for Many Manufacturers

    Here at Newsome, we have extensive experience with many types of industrial dehumidifiers. Although we work closely with DST as an approved partner, our servicing programmes also cover legacy systems and units from other well-known manufacturers. This means we can support customers with a varied equipment portfolio, whether they operate a single unit or a site with multiple brands.

    Our engineers understand different rotor designs, airflow systems, control technologies and reactivation methods. This knowledge helps us service systems efficiently and apply the correct procedures for each manufacturer’s equipment.

    What Our Servicing Includes

    Our servicing visits involve a thorough review of the dehumidifier’s performance, condition and operating environment. Each service is tailored to the specific type of system, whether it is a desiccant dehumidifier, refrigeration-based unit or a specialist drying system.

    Inspection of Key Components
    The core of a servicing visit focuses on the major components that affect moisture removal and airflow. Our engineers check filters, fans, belts, bearings and the condition of the desiccant rotor. Any signs of restriction, wear or reduced performance are noted and addressed. By maintaining these core components, we help ensure a steady flow of air and consistent moisture removal.

    Heater and Reactivation System Checks
    For desiccant dehumidifiers, the reactivation process is vital. We assess electric, steam, gas or hot water heaters to confirm they operate at the correct temperature and respond safely to control inputs. A poorly performing heater can significantly affect moisture removal capacity, so accurate testing is essential.

    Electrical and Control System Testing
    Modern dehumidifiers rely on control systems to regulate performance. We test sensors, wiring connections, PLC panels and safety features to make sure they operate correctly. For systems connected to building management systems, we verify that all communication signals are functioning and that control responses match the required settings.

    Airflow and System Performance Assessment
    Stable airflow is central to a dehumidifier’s performance. During servicing, we check air volumes, inspect ductwork where accessible and measure temperature changes across the system. These checks help us verify that the dehumidifier is achieving the right level of drying and that the environment remains within the expected range.

    Cleaning and General Maintenance
    Cleaning is an important part of servicing. Dust and debris can gather inside both the housing and airflow pathways, affecting sensors, fans and heat exchangers. By keeping the system clean and free from obstruction, we support efficient operation and protect mechanical and electrical parts from unnecessary strain.

    Planned Servicing Programmes
    Many customers choose a planned servicing schedule that provides regular visits throughout the year. These programmes can be structured around operational hours, production cycles, seasonal conditions or industry standards. Planned servicing ensures that systems receive attention before issues become significant, helping to maintain reliable performance during periods of heavy use.

    By working with each customer’s preferred schedule, we provide a consistent level of care that fits naturally into site operations. This approach also supports clearer budgeting and long-term planning.

    Nationwide Coverage and Local Support

    With regional account managers and engineering teams across Scotland, the North, the Midlands, Wales, the South West and the South East, we provide a dependable servicing network throughout the UK. This structure ensures that customers receive prompt attention, local communication and consistent service across all locations.

    Our national service desk coordinates all servicing activity and provides updates from the moment a visit is scheduled. This helps maintain clear communication and ensures our engineers arrive prepared with the correct information and equipment.

    Supporting Industrial Environments Across the UK

    Industrial dehumidifiers operate in a wide variety of environments, each with different demands. We service systems in food production plants, pharmaceutical facilities, engineering sites, warehousing, cold stores, printing, packaging, plastics production and research settings. Each environment presents different challenges, from high moisture loads to sensitive production processes. Our servicing programmes account for these variations and support stable, predictable humidity control.

    Because we understand the effect of poor humidity control on product quality and operational reliability, our servicing aims to protect your production environment and reduce risks linked to moisture imbalance.

    Servicing Older and Legacy Dehumidifiers

    Many sites run dehumidifiers that have been in place for more than a decade. These systems can continue to perform well when they receive consistent servicing. Our engineers regularly work on older units, carrying out checks on rotor condition, electrical components, seals and heater assemblies. Where necessary, we can recommend upgrades or replacement parts that extend the useful life of the system.

    If a dehumidifier shows significant wear or inefficiency, we provide clear advice on whether servicing, repair or replacement offers the best long-term outcome. This practical guidance helps customers plan maintenance budgets and avoid unexpected downtime.

    Integration with Repair and Maintenance Services

    Servicing is often the starting point for identifying repair needs. When our engineers uncover early signs of component wear or performance drop, we can carry out corrective work during the same visit or schedule a follow-up appointment. This integrated approach reduces the likelihood of unexpected breakdowns and keeps humidity control stable.

    For sites that use multiple dehumidifiers, regular servicing allows us to build an accurate picture of long-term performance. This helps plan future work, replacement parts or potential upgrades.

    Clear Reporting After Every Service

    Once servicing is complete, we provide a detailed report outlining the condition of the system, any work carried out and recommendations for future care. These reports help site teams understand the health of their equipment and support compliance, record-keeping and internal planning. Our communication is clear, direct and focused on giving you the information you need to manage your humidity control systems effectively.
