Air quality
Ammonia Scrubber
Takes ammonia and odour out of animal-room air, with media you can regenerate.
The challenge
Ammonia builds up in busy animal rooms, and fans alone only move it around.
Ammonia Scrubber
Insect and rodent rooms produce ammonia that irritates animals and staff, and ventilation or air fresheners do not remove it. The Ammonia Scrubber pushes room air through a citric-acid bath that traps ammonia, then through a zeolite bed that takes up what is left. The zeolite is regenerated rather than thrown away.
Habitat & Environment
Where it works
Insect & rodent rooms
Ammonia control where animals are kept densely.
Small-mammal houses
Fresher air for animals and keepers.
Quarantine rooms
Cleaner air in closed holding rooms.
What it does
Acid bath
Room air bubbles through citric acid, which traps ammonia as a salt.
Zeolite polish
A zeolite bed adsorbs the remaining ammonia and odour.
Regenerable media
The zeolite is reactivated by a written procedure, not discarded.
Simple control
A fan with minimal controls.
Optional sensing
An optional ammonia sensor shows room levels.
How it works
Draw
A fan pulls room air into the scrubber.
Capture
The acid bath and the zeolite bed take out ammonia and odour.
Maintain
Top up the bath and regenerate the zeolite on a schedule.
Why teams choose it
Fresher air
Ammonia is captured, not just moved.
Less waste
Zeolite is regenerated and reused.
Simple to run
A fan and two stages, with no complex parts.
Healthier rooms
Better air for animals and staff.
