Mammoth Biosecurity Systems for Indoor Cultivation

The Two Technologies Every Grow Facility Must Have: Direct UV Surface Treatment + Active Air Sanitization

Indoor cultivation doesn’t just grow plants—it grows microorganisms.
Spores, bacteria, yeast, mildew, and mold all thrive in sealed high-humidity grow environments. Once they take hold, they’re expensive to remove and even harder to keep from returning.

That’s why professional agricultural facilities worldwide now rely on two proven sterilization strategies working together:

Solution 1: Direct UV Sterilization (UVC & UVB)

When microbes land on a surface or leaf, the fastest way to stop them is direct UV exposure.

How It Works

• UVC (275 nm) breaks the DNA of pathogens, killing them outright

• UVB (295 nm) provides targeted biological suppression and can be used on plants with minimal stress when used properly

Why Facilities Need Direct UV

Filtering air doesn’t remove:

• Spores already on plants

• Surface contamination

• PM or mold spreading under the canopy

• Tools, devices, or workbench contamination

Direct UV gives growers a way to neutralize contamination where it actually exists, fast.

Solutions for Different Needs

UV Tower – Whole-Room Sterilization

• Runs at night or during off-hours

• UVC for deep sterilization

• UVB mode for plant-safe pathogen suppression

• Motion shutoff and safety controls

• Treats walls, trellis, equipment, and open canopy

Handheld UVB Wand (295 nm)

• Safe for targeted plant treatments

• Stops PM and biological pressure under the canopy

• Ideal for spot control before outbreaks spread

Handheld UVC Wand (275 nm)

• Strong immediate sterilization

• Perfect for tools, trimmers, benches, post-harvest rooms

• “Kill-on-contact” sanitation

Direct UV = Prevent outbreaks at the source.

Solution 2: Active Air Sanitization (HEPA + PCO + Plasma + UVC)

Even in a clean room, air is constantly moving contamination:

• HVAC systems

• Fans and ducting

• People entering and leaving

• Rapid plant transpiration

• Tight humidity with high biomass

If the air isn’t treated continuously, the room becomes a circulating pathogen delivery system.

The Mammoth 6-Stage Air System

Advanced Air and Surface Purification for Indoor Agriculture

Take control of your grow room environment with the World's most advanced sanitation solution available. Our 2nd Generation Air Sanitizers are purpose-built for indoor agriculture, featuring a 6-stage Capture & Destroy system:

1. Prefilter: Captures large dust and debris, protecting downstream filters and improving airflow.

2. HEPA Filtration: Removes fine particulate matter, pollen, and mold spores, maximizing air turnover and ensuring cleaner air reaches your plants.

3. Carbon Filter: Adsorbs odors, VOCs, and chemical contaminants, keeping the environment safe and odor-free.

4. Photocatalytic Oxidation (PCO): Uses UV light in combination with a titanium dioxide catalyst to produce reactive oxygen species that neutralize airborne and surface pathogens.  What is PCO - CLICK HERE

5. Plasma Ion Technology: Releases positive and negative ions that attach to and deactivate bacteria, mold spores, and viruses, enhancing the effectiveness of PCO and HEPA filtration.

6. Germicidal UVC Lamp: Directly destroys DNA and RNA of bacteria, viruses, and other pathogens trapped on filters or passing through the unit, providing a final, targeted layer of protection.

Unlike most competing units that focus heavily on ionization and PCO but neglect airflow, our HEPA-first, high-volume capture ensures contaminants are physically removed before the remaining airborne threats are neutralized.

The result: cleaner air, healthier plants, and record-breaking yields and COAs.

Why Choose Our Systems?

Targeted Protection with Maximum Airflow

Unlike typical $1,000+ units, our design prioritizes air exchange rates — cycling and cleaning the entire room multiple times per hour to meet or exceed recommended ACH (Air Changes per Hour) for hemp cultivation.

Once airborne threats are captured, PCO and Plasma Ion Technology go to work:

• PCO (280nm UVC + TiO2 catalyst): Neutralizes mold, mildew, and pathogens on both surfaces and in the air.

• Plasma Technology: Adds an extra layer of pathogen destruction by releasing ions throughout the grow space.

This three-step system ensures no contaminant is left behind — and no mold or powdery mildew goes unchecked.

Key Benefits for Indoor Agriculture

• Reduce Particulate Matter (PM): Capture dust and fine particles that can slow growth.

• Prevent Mold: Maintain clean, mold-free flower and veg rooms for healthier crops.

• Bacterial Defense: Protect your plants from harmful bacteria.

• Sanitize Surfaces: Reduce cross-contamination during trimming and processing.

Recommended ACH (Air Changes Per Hour)

Commercial cannabis/hemp facilities typically target 10–12 ACH for true pathogen suppression.

Side-by-Side Comparison

⚠ UV Safety Disclaimer

UVC and UVB are powerful scientific tools and must be used responsibly.

Safety Rules:

• Never operate UVC around people, pets, or unprotected staff

• Exposure can cause eye/skin injury

• UVB is plant-safe when used properly but should be introduced gradually

Recommended PPE

• UV-rated eyewear

• Gloves

• Long sleeves

• Never look directly at UVC sources

All Mammoth systems include shielding or safeguards when in normal operation.

Clean Air + Clean Surfaces = Clean Harvest

Most facilities rely on one strategy:

• Filters

• IPM sprays

• Air purifiers

• Environmental changes

But the truth is simple:

You can’t control pathogens in a sealed environment without treating BOTH the air AND the surfaces.

Mammoth Biosecurity Systems give you:

• Lower microbial load

• Reduced PM pressure

• Fewer failed COAs

• Cleaner genetics over time

• Lower emergency mitigation labor

• More consistent harvests
