Ozone Free Air Sanitation Solution for Mold, Bacteria, and Ethylene Gas Removal & Control
AiroCide® Photocatalytic Air Sanitation Systems are the only air purifiers that completely destroy airborne bacteria, mold, fungi, viruses, volatile organic compounds (VOC's) & odors. Because the technology in these systems was developed by NASA, they are not filtering systems and produce no harmful byproducts like ozone; they are superior to any other air sanitation systems on the market. The AiroCide technology is used to provide clean air in a variety of industries including perishable foods, beverages and flowers; dental and medical/healthcare; consumer and many more.
The AiroCide technology originated when NASA needed help with food growth experiments as part of its extended space flight research. One of NASA's Commercial Space Centers in Madison, WI, the Wisconsin Center for Space Automation and Robotics (WCSAR), along with the University of Wisconsin-Madison (UW), developed a unique Photocatalytic oxidation technology that removed a gas called ethylene that makes plants deteriorate.
The AiroCide technology is not a filtration system. The patented technology, integrated with Photocatalytic Oxidation (PCO), works in unison to destroy harmful airborne microbes and dismantle volatile organic compounds (VOC), like ethylene gas. Clinical studies show a 99% plus kill rate for microbials and removal of VOC’s. The AiroCide technology is a FDA class II listed medical device that is also used in the medical health care industry. AiroCide is energy efficient, as it was originally designed for the NASA space station program to successfully conduct astroculture experiments that required air free of mold spores and ethylene gas.
Our satisfied customers say...
"explained that they decided on the AiroCide Food Safety Air Sanitation technology because it has a proven track record of delivering on its promise. We believe it is the finest Food Safety Sanitation system using the most state-of-the-art technology,”
Scott Dennis, VP of Business Development
Albert's Organics
"We noticed a dramatic drop in moldy odor in the wine caves after just 2 days of running the AiroCide PPT systems"
Andy Erickson, Winemaker
Hartwell Vineyards - Napa, CA
"Uncompromising quality is what DiMare Fresh is all about -The AiroCide PPT system in our cooler keeps the air incredibly clean and reduces mold. You can smell the difference."
Tom Bruno, Director of Operations
DiMare Fresh -Tampa, FL
"The trial field test showed a dramatic and rapid ethylene reduction, with a fringe benefit of [airborne] microbial reduction. Based on these test results, AiroCide will be standardized equipment for Del Monte Fresh."
Ross McKenney, VP of Quality Assurance
Del Monte Fresh Produce Coral Gables, FL
"Crunch Pak is the industry leader in fresh sliced apples. They are committed to providing the highest quality organic and conventional sliced apples in the market. The food safety and quality assurance program at Crunch Pak has been built to continuously control any potential hazards from farm to table. Every step is taken to ensure Crunch Pak products are the safest they can be, while maintaining consistent taste and texture. AiroCide PPT enhances their food safety and quality assurance program."
Ozgur Koc - Director of R&D Crunch Pak
"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, pars, stone fruit, grapes and mangos, use of the Airocide unit enables the company to store kiwi and pineapple."
Steve Karo Garrison Cold Storages
"AiroCide PPT extends the vase life of our flowers dramatically. Airborne mold/fungi was reduced to zero in a study in our Ecuador propagation laboratory."
Peter Ullrich, Chairman Esmeralda Farms
"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 a 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."

"NASA Spinoff Air Purifiers Eliminate Pathogens, Preserve Food NASA-funded researchers produced an ethylene reduction device for a plant growth unit. KES Science and Technology Inc. licensed the technology and partnered with Akida Holdings, which now markets it as AiroCide. According to the company, it is the only air purifier that completely destroys airborne bacteria, mold, fungi, mycotoxins, viruses, volatile organic compounds (like ethylene), and odors. What's more, the devices have no filters and produce no harmful byproducts, such as the ozone created by some filtration systems. www.sti.nasa.gov/tto"
