As a business that handles produce, a whiff of decay in your walk-in, storage warehouse, or transport truck is the smell of money drifting away into thin air. When produce idles in one place for any amount of time, a colorless and odorless gas starts to collect – ethylene gas. In your warehouse, it can mean the kiss of death – overripening otherwise salable fruits and vegetables.

But is spoilage of overripe produce just another of the postharvest losses that growers, transporters, and warehousers have to live with and manage? No! There’s a selection of air purifiers that work as the perfect ethylene gas scrubbers, and they can provide a whole list of other benefits for products and employees in your facility. Read on to discover Airocide air purification.

Powerful Ethylene Gas Scrubbers

Airocide air purifiers use photocatalytic oxidation technology (or PCO) – a NASA-developed technology for eliminating unwanted organic particles from the air without releasing any dangerous emissions. Ethylene is an unstable organic gas, otherwise known as a volatile organic compound or VOC. When airborne VOCs like ethylene enter the chamber of an Airocide unit, a powerful PCO catalyst destabilizes and destroys them. All that circulates out of an Airocide unit is pure air, completely scrubbed of ethylene gas and other VOCs – slowing ripening inside your facility and protecting your produce and profits.

Air Purification for Your Whole Business

But, the entire family of Airocide air purifiers are much more than ethylene gas scrubbers. They provide comprehensive commercial air purification that defends products and employees. Eliminate the airborne spoilage bacteria and molds threatening your produce. Protect workers throughout your facilities by eliminating airborne viruses that cause illness. Provide absolute peace of mind in your back offices with 99.99% pure, clean air. A variety of Airocide units make it possible everywhere you need it – and we can design a system that fits facilities of every size.

Spoilage and waste are two of the worst enemies to your bottom line when you store, ship, or sell produce – and barring physical damage during transport, you’ll find there’s often a natural cause behind the issue. Ethylene gas is a colorless, odorless gas that’s emitted by mature plant matter – like picked produce – and it hastens spoilage, causing losses and serious quality reduction. In an enclosed space, like a produce warehouse, cold storage, or transport truck, ethylene builds up and affects your products. That’s why taking steps to control ethylene in your produce warehouse will go a long way to protecting your bottom line, and can even help you deliver a higher quality product. Luckily, there’s a simple way to control ethylene all along your process, from storage to transport. Airocide air purification makes it easy – discover the powerful answer to ethylene gas.

Invisible Till it’s Too Late

Ethylene gas can’t be seen or smelled, it can only be detected via testing. One telltale sign, though, is rapid ripening and spoilage in your produce. Ethylene is a volatile organic compound or VOC, a gas that reacts with other organic materials. In a closed space, it collects and silently spoils your fruits, vegetables, and florals. Securing extended vibrancy and quality for your produce means controlling ethylene – and that means removing it from the air where it collects. Airocide air purification uses a technology designed specifically to eliminate ethylene while producing no harmful emissions.

Using Airocide to Control Ethylene

No matter where it collects; in your warehouse, on the packing line, or in transport, Airocide can reduce ethylene gas and help stop the spoilage it causes. An Airocide system designed for your space will eliminate VOCs from the air – including ethylene – as well as other contributors to spoilage and waste like mold or bacteria. You could see less waste, more vibrant products, and healthier air for both your produce and your employees. Even better, Airocide eliminates ethylene without producing any harmful emissions, like ozone, that would only reduce air quality for the employees you depend on for a successful operation.

Comprehensive Coverage and Intelligent Control

Controlling ethylene in your produce warehousing and transport means less spoilage and better quality – but it shouldn’t come at the expense of overall air quality. Discover a solution that will help you control ethylene without sacrificing air quality and safety in your produce warehouse.

Airocide commercial air purification can be the difference between spoiled produce and significantly extended shelf life. For food processing facilities, cold storage units, and food banks, airflow is pertinent to keeping food fresh, safe and optimal for purchase. So what can you do to ensure your airflow is working to your advantage? Join thousands of customers in installing our Airocide commercial air purifying system.

Go With The Airflow

Our air sanitation units can easily be placed in your facility where they will be most effective. Cold storage facilities with specific temperatures can benefit greatly from the patented photocatalytic oxidation technology. The Technology Developed for NASA inside each unit kills more than 99.99% of airborne pathogens and VOCs (volatile organic compounds) that pass through its processor. Airocide completely mineralizes threats and converts them to trace amounts of carbon dioxide and water vapor.

Airocide is the natural, harmless, most cost-efficient way to protect your produce from naturally occurring VOCs such as ethylene gas, mold, mildew and bacteria. The airflow our commercial air purification units emit is free of pathogens and odors. What’s more, airflow in your facility from Airocide has NO EMISSIONS, harmful gasses or ozone.

From Stale to Stellar

Ethylene gas causes produce to rapidly ripen and spoil. This can result in stale, odorous air in your storage facility. Organic supermarkets and food processing facilities can rely on Airocide’s air purification to dramatically improve the air and airflow and keep produce fresh without compromising their organic composition.

A produce provider in Illinois stated, “Airocide air sanitation is in operation at W. Newell & Co. because of their commitment to air quality improvement and superior efforts for food safety, quality assurance and shelf-life extension.”

The Effects of Airflow

Providing your facility with powerful air purification affects airflow in a highly beneficial and safe way. Your products will stay fresh longer and be protected against bacteria and VOCs like ethylene gas and mold. With minimal maintenance and proven technology, the airflow from Airocide commercial units will provide clean air to improve food quality and extend shelf life. Benefits you can and will see.

With thousands of units in operation, Airocide provides clean, effective airflow through our commercial air sanitation system. Ask us how you can improve your airflow with Airocide’s commercial air purification today.

After decades, Airocide continues to provide thousands of global cold storage facilities and food processors with pure, clean air. Our commercial air purification technology protects the produce in your cold storage facilities and helps you provide fresh produce with extended shelf life. It works to remove ethylene gas, mold, and bacterial contamination for brighter, more vibrant produce.

Something In The Air

Ethylene gas occurs naturally, but controlling buildup is easy through powerful air purification. In a closed cold storage facility, bacteria and threats multiply and spread quickly. These threats can cause your fresh produce to spoil, rot and go to waste. Our efficient commercial Airocide processor eliminates ethylene gas, mold, bacteria and other airborne threats. 

One of our organic produce wholesalers performed a study on the effect of our commercial air purification technology in their cold storage facility. They installed three Airocide systems. Within 72 hours, the amount of airborne fungi inside their cooler decreased by an average of 96.8%.

This is just one case study done to prove how we protect your produce with commercial air purification. Overall, our ethylene gas scrubbers work 24/7 to extend your shelf life and support food safety. 

Profits in Produce Protection

Not only does commercial air sanitation protect produce, it opens the door for brand loyalty and increased profits. Offering high-quality produce with enhanced food safety and increased shelf life will put you at the top of your clients’ preferred providers.
