Food storage, preparation, and handling requires superior safety – not just to prevent losses but to protect employees and maintain efficiency as well. Even in situations where products have been cleaned and sterilized, airborne bacteria, ethylene gas, and mold threaten your bottom line with lost product and recalls. In operations large and small, air purification is paramount to defend employees and products. This means that an air purifier can’t produce any harmful emissions either. Luckily, there’s a method proven for NASA that’s available for operations of every shape and size. KesAir provides photocatalytic oxidation air purifiers to fit every space in food storage, handling, and production. Read on to find out how this zero-emission air purifier can protect your entire operation – no matter the size.

Developed for Nasa Photocatalytic Oxidation Air Purifiers

While experimenting on growing food plants in space, Developed for Nasa an air purification technology that would eliminate ethylene gas without producing any harmful emissions, such as ozone. We’ve adapted this technology, called photocatalytic oxidation (or PCO), for use in air purifiers here on earth. 

Effective and safe, this technology is also incredibly easy to use and maintain. It’s as simple as mounting the unit, turning it on, and performing some simple maintenance a few times a year. With multiple units, you can protect large areas like production lines and warehouses – but we offer units that are small enough for back offices and break rooms as well. Below are a few use cases where you’ll find these PCO air purifiers.

PCO in Large Spaces

Our Airocide line offers a variety of solutions for large spaces, including a stainless-steel food-grade unit. AiroPro also features units designed for large spaces, such as common rooms and production areas.

• Multiple PCO air purifiers, strategically placed, can protect an entire warehouse full of ripe produce – eliminating ethylene and preventing premature spoilage.
• Breweries and distilleries can use PCO to increase the humidity of their storage area – reducing product losses to evaporation.
• PCO eliminates airborne spoilage bacteria from dairies, production lines, food banks, and cold storage.

PCO in Small Spaces

The AiroPro HO unit is designed specifically for use in facility offices, break rooms, and similar spaces.

• Commercial kitchens and food service spaces can reduce the viruses that cause respiratory illnesses using a PCO air purifier.
• Facility back offices can be protected from bacteria and viruses with no ozone or other harmful emissions.
• Air in clean rooms and quality control labs can remain contaminant-free to preserve testing materials.

Preservation is the point of perishable cold storage – but in some ways, it can accelerate spoilage. Increased shelf-life is the key, no matter if your products are in a refrigerator or a deep freezer. At KES Science, we know the cause – and we have the cure. Stop the volatile organic compound that’s affecting your produce in its tracks. Destroy the ethylene in your cold storage areas with Airocide air sanitation units.

Stopping Ethylene in Your Cold Storage

Ethylene is emitted by ripe fruit, vegetables, and other vegetation. It’s a volatile organic compound, or VOC that speeds ripening and spoilage. The average carbon air filter isn’t equipped to deal with VOCs. They suck them up and possibly recirculate them without ever removing them from the air. The key to reducing spoilage in your fridge or freezer is to reduce buildup of Ethylene – using the right technology to do it.

The Right Tool for Slowing Spoilage

Purpose-built for the protection of growing plants and produce, the technology inside Airocide was actually developed for NASA for use on the International Space Station! Growing plants on the station were outputting too much ethylene, causing fast ripening, spoilage, and a buildup of the VOC. The technology, photocatalytic oxidation, was developed to completely break down ethylene and other VOCs and organic molecules into nothing more than trace elements of carbon dioxide and water vapor – releasing no dangerous emissions. That’s the same technology inside every Airocide unit – and in our units it’s just as effective at eliminating VOCs, bacteria, viruses, and other organic threats to your people and products.

One for Every Size Facility

We’ve designed several units to fit any space, from processing, to storage, to repacking. With Airocide units in place, your air will be scrubbed of organic threats. They kill bacteria and viruses that may cause respiratory infections, as well as the VOCs that cause faster spoilage. Not only that, our new AiroPro units can be installed in back offices, common areas, and more for total protection across your entire facility – creating an atmosphere of pure, clean air.

Stop Spoilage and Defend Your Facility

For cold storage facilities, there’s no better answer to the threat of the VOC ethylene. Airocide destroys ethylene and kills bacteria, viruses, and even mold that may affect workers or produce. With AiroPro units to go with it, you can rest assured that you’re covered.
