How can you achieve
a more predictable
shelf life?

Spoilage doesn’t start where you see it. The real process begins much earlier — in the air. This 15-page guide shows you how to address the root cause, not just the symptoms.

The Problem

Spoilage doesn’t start
where you can see it.

Most systems optimize temperature and humidity — but air quality remains uncontrolled. Yet air is the only factor that continuously affects every single product.

Invisible process Airocide PCO unit in food industry environment
Step 01
Cooling and humidity are under control
Processes are optimized — yet the very first stage of spoilage is already happening invisibly in the air.
Step 02
Contaminants continuously affect products
Microorganisms, ethylene and volatile compounds slowly but steadily degrade product quality and shelf life.
Step 03
Waste, claims and profit loss
By the time spoilage becomes visible, the root cause has already done its damage. Losses become constant.
B
Bacteria & mold spores
Airborne contaminants settle on product surfaces and accelerate ripening and spoilage processes.
E
Ethylene — the ripening hormone
Many fruits produce it naturally, while also accelerating the ripening of nearby products. 2.0 ppm → accelerated spoilage.
V
VOC — volatile organic compounds
Odors, gases and chemical compounds continuously influencing product condition and quality.

1–2% product loss is not inevitable — it is the result of an uncontrolled system.

Many companies accept spoilage as “part of the business.” But in reality, it is often the consequence of uncontrolled air quality. The real question is not whether losses exist — but whether you are addressing the root cause.

Explore the solution
The solution

It does not filter.
It eliminates.

Airocide PCO (photocatalytic oxidation) technology breaks down airborne contaminants at the molecular level — no accumulation, no recontamination, no harmful by-products. All this without chemicals or ozone, operating 24/7.

Diagram showing how Airocide PCO technology works
01
Air continuously flows through the unit

The device quietly and continuously draws in the surrounding air — 24 hours a day, every day.

02
UV-C light activates the catalyst

UV-C light activates the titanium-dioxide catalyst, triggering the photocatalytic reaction.

03
Hydroxyl radicals break down contaminants

Powerful oxidants are formed, breaking down bacteria, ethylene, mold and VOCs.

04
Harmless end products: water and CO₂

No accumulation, no recontamination, no ozone, no chemicals. Just clean air.

Not generic promises.

Two real industrial examples — measurable changes after introducing air treatment.

Tomato repacking facility — Airocide PCO
Case study 01

Tomato repacking facility

Mold reduction
72h
Time to result
Waste rate

Around 90% mold reduction within 72 hours. Through the continuous removal of ethylene and microorganisms, the waste rate and customer complaints decreased significantly.

Cherry storage — Airocide PCO ethylene removal
Case study 02

Cherry storage

Ethylene level
Weight loss
+days
Shelf life

Ethylene level: reduced from 2.0 ppm to 0.1 ppm. Weight loss: reduced from 4.0% to 1.8%. Slower ripening, better texture, longer shelf life.

~0%
Mold reduction within 72 hours
Tomato repacking — microbiological load stabilized.
2.0ppm
Ethylene level in cherry storage
Reduced from the previous 2.0 ppm to 0.1 ppm.
4.0%
Weight loss instead of 4.0%
More stable air quality — slower ripening, longer shelf life.
NASA heritage

Space technology serving food supply on Earth.

Airocide technology was originally developed for NASA to provide an ethylene-free environment on the International Space Station. Today, the same technology supports European cold stores, repacking facilities and food industry environments.

1998 The first NASA program launched for ethylene removal
20+ Years of experience in industrial and food industry environments
30+ Countries where Airocide systems are operating
