Odour control in two stages
The Si-Zone® 5000 is designed for the garbage rooms and garbage chutes of medium to large apartment buildings, and similar commercial sites. The 5000 is part of our dual air purification range, with two separate purifiers in one cabinet.
- The first is a high-capacity UV ozone generator. The ozone generator sends ozone through conduit to the targeted odour sources: the garbage chute, and the bins, compactor or carousel. The generator's high fan pressure carries the ozone through long runs of conduit.
- The second treats the bin room's air. The room's air is drawn through a UV-C lamp, which also activates a special coating inside the chamber, starting photocatalytic oxidation (PCO): a powerful oxidising agent that breaks down odours as the air passes through.
There's a limit to how much ozone can be used in a bin room people work in, so the second purifier treats the air further than ozone alone can.
An installation, and how the system works
The Si-Zone 5000 (A) is stainless steel, mounted on the bin room wall: the ozone generator and carbon filter in the lower part of the cabinet, and the UV-C and PCO chamber in the upper part. In this installation, grey PVC conduit carries the ozone into the garbage chute, and flexible silicone hose into the bin under the chute; in a larger room, we'd also run conduit to the bins stored nearby. Targeting the ozone at the source neutralises the odour before the air is drawn up the chute. The ozone output is fully adjustable, and set for each site. Customers generally notice a significant difference within about 15 minutes of installation.
Every site is a little different. The Garbage Doctor® has been installed with chutes, bins, carousels and compactors from all manufacturers, including Elephants Foot, WasteTech, JJ Richards, Wanless, James Hardie and JD MacDonald.

Questions about the 5000
What does the second purifier add?
Ozone is targeted at the bins and the chute, and there's a limit to how much can be used in a bin room people work in. The second purifier treats the room's air as well, with UV-C and PCO, so the odour is broken down further than ozone alone can.
The 5000 or the Ozone HD?
Both reach long runs of conduit. The 5000 adds the second purifier for the bin room's air; the Ozone HD has our highest ozone output, and may be recommended for the very tallest chutes and largest bin rooms. We'll recommend the one that suits your building.
