With the average adult breathing in 15,000 litres of air every day, the way our space is laid out, the environment in which we work are all important factors in efficiency and productivity. Scent is one such prominent factor as it ensures focus, encourages motivation, generates a sense of release and overall creates better well-being and it's no secret that the need for clean air is vital to our health.

 

The sense of smell is a powerful thing, being one of our five vital senses. The effect of fragrance on our consciousness is not to be under-estimated as fragrances have shown to be responsible for affecting mood and signalling cleanliness; they can motivate us, relieve stress or simply create a general sense of wellbeing.


PuraAir’s research has gone to show that improving air ambience increases calmness and creates a lasting impression on people, making people want to stay longer in places where there is a pleasant-smelling atmosphere and they will make a positive subconscious connection with that business.


But, where does BAD odour emanate from?

 

On larger scales or in commercial spaces, the generation of mass quantities of odour can emanate from high-rise apartment garbage chutes, garbage compactor systems, garbage bin collection areas, grease trap rooms, wastewater rooms, wet food waste areas, etc; creating the need for more intensive odour control methods and machinery. 


However, odour control is also required on smaller scales in places such as hotels and apartment foyers, board/ convention rooms, entertainment areas, learning centres, fitness centres & day spas, bars and clubs, retail stores, medical practices, aged care facilities, common areas etc; where more compact and portable scent solutions can be applied to manage odour.

 

So, how can you control odours? 

 

PuraAir’s High-Performance Commercial Odour Control System Series works to eliminate unwanted odours and destroys bacteria and viruses by utilising an ultraviolet ray UVC germicidal lamp and UV Lamp ozone generating technologies.


Pura air’s solution.


PuraAir is known for its state-of-the-art commercial odour control systems that destroy airborne bacteria and viruses which cause odours, ensuring a safe and healthy environment. With an ethos of delivering high-quality products that solve all your air quality requirements, PuraAir has high standards of integrity, expertise and efficient service.

1.      Commercial odour control systems 
 
The
UVC Series 1000 is PuraAir’s best quality high-performance commercial odour control system. It eliminates unwanted odours and destroys bacteria and viruses by utilising an ultraviolet ray UVC germicidal lamp using UV Lamp ozone generating technologies. Odour control systems as such are guaranteed for a continuous long working life of 9000-12000 hours, with the machine working 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, keeping your air clean for around 500 days! Additionally, the lamps are powered by a smart digital ballast with a pre-heat function extending the life of these components. 
Through a process called irradiation, PuraAir’s air sanitation process filters airborne dust through active carbon filters as it draws in unwanted odours from areas under treatment. These odours then enter the UVC germicidal light chamber where the odour control process begins. 
The micro-organisms subsequently come in contact with the UVC germicidal lightwave, changing their DNA and destroying them and eliminating the smell. This method has been shown in laboratory environments to disrupt the DNA of microorganisms and thus to be able to inactivate viral, bacterial and fungal organisms.
 

2.     Pura scent professional scenting systems
 
PuraScenting enables you to naturally discover and experience the power of scent, whether you are looking for a permanent discrete HVAC installation or a portable vapour system, we have the scenting solution ranging through professional scenting solutions utilising PuraScent diffusers and PortaScent vapour technology systems.
PuraScent is efficient, low maintenance and cost-effective. It can be connected directly into your air conditioning system or fresh air supply for the common area, and a large variety of fragrances are available.
 
Additionally, PuraAir also has Portable Room Deodorisers that can be easily moved from room to room and used on an as-needed basis with a range of pleasant scents available.


So, get on board with PuraAir and their odour controlling practices made possible with commercial odour control systems and professional scenting systems.

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. Backed by PuraAir Reliability Every unit is supported by a 12-month Manufacturer’s Warranty covering parts and labour , backed by PuraAir’s stand-in replacement guarantee . If warranty repairs cannot be completed on-site during assessment, we will provide an equivalent replacement system to ensure your odour control remains uninterrupted. The PuraAir Difference By combining UVC germicidal disinfection, UV ozone generation, advanced airflow engineering, and intelligent controls , PuraAir delivers a powerful, eco-conscious solution for commercial garbage odour control. The result? ✔ Elimination of stubborn waste odours ✔ Reduction of airborne micro-organisms ✔ Cleaner, fresher indoor environments ✔ Reliable, low-maintenance performance With PuraAir, you’re not just treating the air — you’re creating a healthier, more pleasant environment for everyone who walks through your doors.

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.
