“We purchased Airocide from you last year and it worked wonders for us this past season. We had such a great year and very much in part due to the addition of Airocide in our cooler – which kept the quality of the fruit stable and consistent. I've been telling everyone I do business with about the benefits of Airocide. We had high hopes but the performance of Airocide exceeded our expectations. It has been the best upgrade we've made to the facility in years. We used to walk into the cooler and be able to smell ethylene in varying degrees through the season. This season, we walked in to the cooler and the only thing you could smell was cardboard. The air was absolutely clean of all the ethylene naturally produced by our avocados.”

We have Airocide in a very sensitive area of the plant where certain types of unwanted mold spores can cause us a lot of problems. We saw a significant reduction in both mold spores and yeast. With this conclusion we decided to purchase more and have coverage in all hallway areas that lead to our curing rooms.. We monitor our air quality in all areas of the plant weekly and our test results have shown they do work.

"I just wanted to let you know that your Airocide units are now installed and in operation, and we're already noticing a difference. 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 combination of storage at the proper temperature along with Airocide units, the tomatoes we distributed at the end of two weeks' time 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."

We recently purchased Airocide units for all of our member food banks to help them prolong the life of donated and food rescue produce. Since installing the units, we have heard from our “down stream” agencies that they are having to spend less time culling produce deliveries and are seeing more produce going to clients. The units will allow us to continue our work of getting more fresh, healthy food to hungry New Mexicans.

Juice Harvest/Evolution Fresh Corporation is a California based all natural fruit juice processor and fresh cut fruit private label co packer whose priority is freshness above all else. Due to the nature of their operation, IAQ is critical as is the need to protect their product from airborne mold and bacteria. After researching a number of air sanitation systems, their team determined that Airocide was most appropriate for their use due not only to its efficacy, but also specifically to its non-ozone generating feature. They now have implemented the Airocide Air Sanitation system throughout their facility.

"We have no cross contamination," Mr. Karo went on to say. Each room contains an Airocide unit, which removes contaminants such as bacteria from the air. "We are one of the few cold storages in this area using this technology," he added. In addition to storage of commodities such as avocados, apples, blueberries, cherries, pears, stone fruit, grapes and mangos, use of the Airocide unit enables the company to store kiwi and pineapple."

"We sell a lot of items that give off ethylene gas and a lot of items that are harmed by ethylene gas, and while we keep them as separate as possible gas obviously spreads easily. We initially started off just searching for an ethylene absorbers, and in our research we found Airocide. Since Airocide claimed to fix both ethylene and mold spore issues we decided to look further into it. We noticed on their website, www.kesair.com some of the people we do business with were already using Airocide so we called them up for references and everyone we spoke to had good things to say about their results. We then decided Airocide was the answer to our problems."

"As we developed plans for our new food business incubation facility, we wanted to implement best practices in all aspects of our operation. It is well-recognized in industry that minimizing the potential for airborne contamination is an important component of an effective food safety program, as this can minimize the potential incidence of product contamination by pathogens. Furthermore, the minimization of airborne microorganisms will generally result in an extension of raw material shelf life, and result in improvements in quality and reduction in food waste." The Airocide system is installed in their microbiology and chemistry labs, the test kitchen, food processing rooms, and in the perishable food storage areas of the Rutgers FIC facility."

"I am very happy with the technology and would recommend the Airocide system to other businesses. The reason we purchased the system was for bacterial control for our coolers. What I notice is, there is no mold. The odors are not there anymore, and shelf-life is longer."

"The first few days after installing and activating the Airocide units were critical when it came to noticing the impact it had on the quality of air. Some of the employees would ask me if the freshness of the air had anything to do with the machines that were hanging from the ceiling and of course I confirmed their suspicions. The installation of the units was very simple and the effectiveness was impressive. I'm confident that our customers will take note of the betterment in quality and prolonged life of their product."
