Bluezone by Middleby. Science that keeps your spaces safer and your foods fresher.
Bluezone by Middleby is air purification that finally works. Bluezone uses the precise balance of ultraviolet-enhanced oxidation between 185nm and 254nm to chemically destroy airborne contaminants, such as odors, mold, bacteria, and viruses. Bluezone does not rely on mechanical filtration, instead, Bluezone scientists have maximized the flow rates and residence time through the Bluezone unit to get kill rates between 99.9% and 99.9995% depending on contaminant and unit type.
Viral Kill Unit
The Bluezone by Middleby Viral Kill models utilize enhanced ultraviolet irradiation around 254nm that is optimized for destroying viruses in occupied spaces. The Viral Kill unit’s ultraviolet radiation coupled with enhanced residence time and flowrate through Bluezone’s reaction chamber, results in a log five kill rate for the MS2 (SARS-CoV-2 Surrogate) virus. The Viral Kill unit also features a room temperature oxidation catalyst to convert VOCs into CO2 and H2O.
Food Preservation Unit
- Eliminates 99.9% of mold, bacteria and ethylene gas
- Extends shelf life (additional 7 – 10 days on average)
- Reduces need for chemical solutions to combat decay
- Removes unpleasant odors and eliminates taste transfer
- Optimizes ventilation for CO2 – No ethylene build-up
- Low maintenance; change bulbs once per year
