Battling Grease Trap Odours: Tips & How PuraAir Can Help

Uncontrolled garbage odours can quickly overwhelm commercial environments, affecting staff comfort, customer experience, and overall hygiene perception. That’s why PuraAir’s High Performance Commercial Odour Control Systems Series is engineered with multiple advanced air purification technologies to eliminate odours at the source while improving overall air quality. Our systems don’t just mask smells — they neutralise, disinfect, and purify using a powerful combination of air treatment methods. Multi-Technology Air Purification for Maximum Effectiveness UVC Germicidal & UV Ozone Technologies At the heart of the PuraAir UVC Series are high-output UVC (Ultraviolet Germicidal) and UV ozone-generating lamp technologies . UVC light helps disinfect micro-organisms such as bacteria, mould spores, and airborne pathogens that pass through the system. UV-generated ozone works by oxidising odour molecules and breaking down organic and chemical compounds responsible for strong garbage smells. The lamps used in our systems are manufactured to the highest standards and are guaranteed for a continuous working life of 9,000–12,000 hours . Each lamp is powered by a smart digital ballast with a pre-heat function , helping extend component lifespan and ensure reliable, consistent performance. Carbon & Particle Reduction Support While ozone and UVC handle odour molecules and micro-organisms, additional air purification methodologies can support overall air quality by helping reduce airborne particles and pollutants. This layered approach ensures both odour elimination and cleaner indoor air . Designed for Performance, Safety & Ease of Use PuraAir systems are built not only for effectiveness, but also for durability, safety, and ease of maintenance. Durable, Safe Cabinet Design The white powder-coated cabinet is lightweight, compact, and easy to clean. It features: A flush key lock and durable hinge system A door safety switch that automatically shuts the machine off if opened during operation, providing added protection for personnel Smart Monitoring & Controls Our systems make monitoring and adjustment simple: The LED indicator panel displays system settings and alerts you when lamps are due for replacement The ozone source indicator shows the ozone level currently in operation The ACC (Adaptive Command Control) allows ozone output to be adjusted to suit each customised application ACC can be managed via the remote-control option , during installation, or at scheduled servicing. An auxiliary socket is included to support remote-control functionality, making adjustments quick and convenient. For sites with advanced compliance requirements, an optional Ozone Safe Monitoring System is also available. Exclusive High Flow Air Distribution System (HFADS) The HFADS (High Flow Air Distribution System) is exclusive to the PuraAir UVC Series. This system includes a maintenance-free turbine blower designed for high output with whisper-quiet operation . The 25mm outlets deliver a high volume of ozone to ensure effective odour control, while the engineered airflow system also assists in cooling the internal components of the cabinet. This means the system is constantly working to eliminate odours and clean the air efficiently and quietly . Service-Friendly Modular Design The modular construction of the PuraAir UVC Series makes servicing and maintenance straightforward, reducing downtime and ensuring long-term performance.

As we welcome the New Year, the team at PuraAir would like to extend our warmest wishes to all our valued clients and partners. The start of the year also marks the peak of the summer season, a time when warmer temperatures, increased building occupancy, and higher waste volumes can create unique challenges for odour control and hygiene management. Summer heat accelerates the breakdown of waste, leading to stronger and more persistent odours. It also creates ideal conditions for flies and other pests, particularly in bin rooms, waste chutes, loading docks, and garbage storage areas. Without effective odour control solutions in place, these issues can quickly impact the comfort, health, and overall experience of residents, staff, and visitors. In high-rise residential buildings, these challenges are often intensified during the holiday period. With more people spending time at home, garbage volumes naturally increase, placing additional strain on waste management systems. Communal areas such as lift lobbies, corridors, and waste rooms can be especially affected if odours are not properly managed, leading to resident complaints and unnecessary disruption. This makes the New Year an ideal time to review your odour control and scenting requirements. Ensuring that existing systems are functioning optimally, and that solutions are appropriately scaled for summer conditions, can help prevent issues before they arise. Proactive odour management not only improves air quality but also supports hygiene standards, reduces pest activity, and helps maintain a pleasant living and working environment. At PuraAir, we work closely with building managers, facility teams, and property owners to deliver tailored odour control and scenting solutions that address seasonal demands. From waste room and garbage chute treatment to fly control and ambient scenting in shared spaces, our solutions are designed to perform when conditions are at their most challenging. Start the year with confidence. We encourage you to take this opportunity to assess your current odour control measures and ensure they are ready for the months ahead. Contact Rob Clarke from PuraAir on 1300 972 736 or 0147 714 268 today to schedule a summer readiness review or to discuss tailored solutions for your building. A proactive approach now can help prevent issues later and ensure your spaces remain fresh, hygienic, and welcoming throughout summer and beyond. Browse through our website for more information. We wish you a safe, successful, and refreshing New Year and look forward to supporting you throughout 2026.
