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.

Approximately half of the Feeding America Food Banks, located in the U.S., are utilizing our Airocide air purification technology in their food storage facilities. These food banks have seen up to five more days of extended shelf life in their donated products. What does this mean? It means more food for local communities and better food to serve the hungry.

More Food, Less Hungry

Not only does our Technology Developed for Nasa help commercial cold storage facilities remove airborne threats, but our powerful air purification helps to extend the life of donated food at community food banks across the nation. Because food banks cannot anticipate what state the food they receive will be in, their storage facilities need to keep food fresh as long as possible.

A large portion of food banks in the US have implemented our Airocide air sanitation systems. Many of them noticed a significant increase in the shelf life of their donated products. With more time to store and serve the food, these food banks can help feed more hungry Americans. Now, they can serve higher quality AND quantities of food.

Serving Safe Food

With the variety of food donated to food banks, it can be a difficult task to keep produce separated. When produce is donated, on average, it is near the end of its natural life. Produce at this stage creates higher levels of ethylene gas. Ethylene gas is naturally occurring, but it causes produce to rapidly ripen and spoil. Food banks are highly susceptible to ethylene gas reactions with multiple produce items being mature.

Ethylene gas is odorless, but can aggressively cause fresh produce to rot. Our commercial air purification units installed in food bank storage facilities serve to eliminate ethylene gas. As they control produce maturity levels and extend the shelf life of donated produce. This helps food banks continue to serve fresh and healthy food.

Michael P. Miller, President & CEO of River Bend Food Bank, stated in a recent testimonial, “The most noticeable change was with tomatoes. If we were to hold tomatoes as long as two weeks, they would liquefy. We just distributed a truckload of tomatoes, and with the combination of storage at the proper temperature along with Airocide units, the tomatoes we distributed at the end of two weeks looked as good as those we distributed immediately upon receipt. We’re very happy customers at this point. I would be glad to serve as a referral. You can’t hear them, and you can’t see your units doing anything, but this kind of result with the tomatoes was extraordinary.”

Helping Feed the Hungry

Our system quietly, efficiently and effectively works to keep food bank products fresh, as long as possible. We’re proud to be a part of providing more food for local communities. We’re also happy to be helping food banks across America experience the benefits of using our air purification technology.
