Italian-made FRAL refrigerant and desiccant dehumidifiers, sized, supplied, installed and serviced locally for factories, warehouses, pools and specialist dry rooms.
Humidity affects production and storage in Dhaka, Gazipur, Narayanganj, Savar and Chattogram.
Excess moisture can damage textiles, tablets, packaging, food, electronics and steel, and cause icing in cold stores.
The economic answer isn't air conditioning — it's industrial dehumidification, sized to the room.
Cotton picks up moisture above 65% RH — fabric weight drifts, GSM tests fail, downstream printing distorts. Target: 55% RH.
Hygroscopic powders, effervescent tablets and gel-capsule lines need tightly controlled atmospheres. Target: 15–35% RH.
Below 0°C, conventional dehumidifiers freeze up. FRAL desiccant absorption units work down to −20°C. Target: 40–50% RH.
Pool halls condense moisture on glass, ceiling and steel. Untreated, fabric of building fails in 5 years. Target: 55–65% RH.
Founded in Padova in 1969, FRAL manufactures dehumidifiers, ventilation systems and portable air conditioners.
The catalogue is deep: domestic dehumidifiers for villas; professional portable units for restoration and construction drying; industrial machines from 50 to 2,000 L/24h; swimming-pool dehumidifiers with optional hot-water battery and electrical resistances; absorption (desiccant) machines that dry air down to −60°C dew point in pharma and cold-store applications.
NativeWay is the exclusive agent for FRAL in Bangladesh — we are the factory’s only appointed channel here, not a reseller buying through a third country. We size the unit, calculate moisture loads, supply the equipment direct from Padova into Dhaka, install, commission and maintain — backed by genuine OEM parts and factory technical escalation.
From a 24 L/day mobile unit on a restoration site to a 2,000 L/day fixed plant in a textile mill — same brand, same parts supply chain, same service team.
Wheeled, civil-grade dehumidifiers for construction drying, water-damage restoration, archive and document recovery, server-room emergency drying. Plug in, pump out.
The core of the FRAL line. Stainless steel, epoxy-coated condensers, hot-gas defrost for low-ambient operation, smart hygrostat. Built for ten-plus years of factory-floor punishment.
Rotor desiccant machines for environments where refrigerant dehumidifiers can't operate — below 0°C, or where dew points down to −60°C are required. Pharmaceutical, lithium battery, military.
Hot-water battery and electrical-resistance options for pool atmospheres. Designed to be visible — finished in spaces where aesthetics matter, not buried in plant rooms.
For radiant ceiling/floor cooling systems and mechanical ventilation (VMC). Decouples humidity control from cooling — letting designers run higher chilled-water temps and save energy.
For server rooms, event halls and process spot-cooling. External condenser unit can sit up to 30m away from the indoor unit, with glycol-charged quick-connect refrigerant lines.
Most ambient-temperature applications need a refrigerant unit. The moment your air goes below ~5°C or you need single-digit RH, you need a desiccant absorption machine. Here's the engineering bottom line.
The dominant approach. Air is drawn over a cold evaporator coil; moisture condenses to water and drains away. Re-warmed dry air returns to the room. Same physics as your air conditioner.
A slowly-rotating silica/zeolite wheel absorbs moisture from the process airstream, then releases it into a smaller, hotter regeneration airstream that exhausts outside. No phase change, no condensate.
Six application zones we install most often across Bangladesh — each with its own RH target and unit family.
Cutting rooms, warehouses, finished-goods stores, sample rooms. Stops fabric weight drift, mould on cotton bales, distortion in sublimation print lines.
Granulation rooms, tablet press halls, packaging lines, capsule and effervescent production. Desiccant units for <15% RH dry rooms.
Sugar & confectionery hardening rooms, dried-fish processing, biscuit cooling, chocolate enrobing, salt & spice packaging.
Anteroom dehumidification, frozen-food bagging, ice-cream production, pharma cold chain. Desiccant units below 0°C eliminate evaporator icing.
Paper feed tables, ink-drying lines, corrugator output, finished cartons. Stops moisture warp, doctor-blade smearing, registration drift.
Hotel pool halls, water-park indoor zones, spa wet rooms, health-club pools. Protects building fabric and visitor comfort year-round.
The reasons our specifying engineers reach for FRAL when the room matters.
Pulls a 1,000 m³ space from 85% RH down toward 20% RH in under an hour with correctly-sized units — production back online faster.
Self-defrosting evaporator coil keeps the unit running in low-ambient and overnight-cool conditions where lesser machines simply ice up and stop.
Stainless steel housings and epoxy-coated coils designed for tropical, salt-air and chemically-aggressive atmospheres. Minimal maintenance schedule.
Full European Union safety, EMC and environmental compliance. Refrigerants meet F-gas regulations. Ready for international audit and tender.
Automatic RH sensing and on-board hygrostat — set the target, walk away. Dry-contact remote control input for BMS integration.
Optimised refrigeration circuits and EC fans push more litres of water removed per kWh consumed than commodity-tier dehumidifiers.
Acoustically-treated housings and EC fan motors keep operating noise low — essential for pool halls, archive rooms, occupied spaces.
Factory-trained engineers in Dhaka, backed by the Colombo engineering office. Genuine OEM parts inventory. Annual maintenance contracts. Direct OEM technical escalation.
Describe each area requiring humidity control. Our Dhaka engineers calculate the moisture load, select refrigerant or desiccant equipment and confirm requirements on site before quoting. The assessment is free.

Garment factories in Dhaka, Chittagong and Gazipur lose stock to monsoon humidity every season — finished goods spotting, cardboard collapsing, packaging delaminating. We sized and installed FRAL industrial dehumidifiers across cutting floors, finishing bays and storage warehouses for a Bangladeshi RMG client. Read the full case study →
NativeWay (Bangladesh) Limited is the exclusive agent for FRAL in Bangladesh. FRAL is manufactured in Padova, Italy. We import direct into Dhaka, hold parts, and carry out sizing, installation, commissioning and annual maintenance with our own engineers.
It depends on the extraction rate you actually need, not the floor area. Price is driven by litres-per-day capacity, whether the room needs refrigerant or desiccant technology, whether the unit is portable or ducted into the building, and the control and humidistat package. Note that a household dehumidifier and an industrial one are different machines at completely different prices — a 20 L/day domestic unit will do nothing for a sewing floor. Send us the room volume, target RH and ambient range and we will size and quote it properly.
Cotton picks up moisture above about 65% RH — fabric weight drifts, GSM tests fail and downstream printing distorts. Most cutting and sewing floors target around 55% RH. Finished-goods and packaging stores usually want lower again, because that is where spotting, cardboard collapse and packaging delamination start.
Temperature decides it. Above roughly 15 °C a refrigerant condensing unit is cheaper to buy and run, which covers most Dhaka factory floors. Below that, and for very low dew points such as pharmaceutical dry rooms or cold storage, a rotor desiccant machine is the only thing that keeps working — FRAL desiccant units operate down to −20 °C and reach dew points to −60 °C.
Sizing is a moisture-load calculation, not a floor-area rule of thumb. It takes room volume, target RH, ambient conditions, air changes, people and door traffic, and any wet process in the room. We do that calculation free before quoting. Undersized never reaches target; oversized short-cycles and wastes power.
Yes. Genuine FRAL parts, factory-trained engineers based in Dhaka, annual maintenance contracts, and direct technical escalation to the factory in Italy. That is the difference between buying from the agent and buying from an importer.
For drying-out work, monsoon emergencies and short shutdowns, hire is often the right answer. Tell us the duration and the space and we will say honestly whether hire or purchase costs you less.
