How AIRsteril Helps Breweries Control Yeast, Odour & Hygiene Risks
Breweries rely on yeast—it’s essential for turning sugars into alcohol and creating the flavours we love. However, yeast also brings challenges. Airborne particles, wild strains, mould growth and strong fermentation odours can all impact product quality, hygiene standards and staff comfort.
Traditional cleaning methods only address part of the problem. Surfaces can be sanitised, but airborne microbes continue to spread, settle and multiply—especially in warm, moist brewing environments.
This is where AIRsteril technology offers a major advantage.
✅ Understanding the Yeast Challenge in Breweries
Breweries commonly experience:
- airborne yeast drifting between production areas
- contamination of tanks, fermenters and packaging lines
- mould and fungal growth in damp cellars and storage rooms
- strong odours from fermentation and waste yeast
- increased cleaning demands
- hygiene concerns in staff areas
These issues can lead to:
- inconsistent flavour profiles
- batch spoilage
- increased CO₂ and odour complaints
- staff respiratory irritation
- costly product losses
✅ How AIRsteril Helps
AIRsteril works continuously to improve hygiene by:
🔹 Destroying airborne fungi and mould spores
This helps reduce wild yeast and spoilage organisms that can contaminate brewing equipment and finished product.
🔹 Sanitising both air and surfaces
AIRsteril doesn’t just filter—its technology actively breaks down:
- bacteria
- fungi
- mould
- viruses
- odour-causing compounds
This reduces the spread of microbes that land on tanks, floors, hoses and packaging areas.
🔹 Removing odours at the source
Fermentation rooms and waste yeast handling areas often produce strong smells. AIRsteril neutralises these compounds, helping maintain a fresher, more pleasant working environment.
🔹 Working 24/7 without chemicals or filters
Because it is:
- chemical-free
- filter-free
- low maintenance
AIRsteril provides continuous protection in high-moisture, high-organic-load environments where filters quickly clog.
✅ Benefits for Breweries
Installing AIRsteril can help:
✅ reduce wild yeast contamination
✅ improve hygiene standards
✅ protect product quality and consistency
✅ minimise mould growth in cold rooms and cellars
✅ decrease odours from fermentation and waste handling
✅ improve staff comfort and air quality
✅ reduce cleaning demands and downtime
✅ Ideal Areas for Brewery Use
AIRsteril units are particularly effective in:
- fermentation rooms
- tank farms
- packaging and bottling lines
- keg washing and storage areas
- cold rooms and cellars
- waste yeast processing areas
- staff amenities and tasting rooms
✅ Supporting Cleaner, Safer Brewing
With independent testing and continuous operation, AIRsteril provides breweries with a powerful tool to help maintain hygiene and protect product quality—all while improving staff comfort and reducing odours.
By tackling airborne and surface contamination at the source, AIRsteril supports a cleaner, more controlled brewing environment.
