Mammoth Biosecurity Systems for Indoor Cultivation

The Two Technologies Every Grow Facility Must Have:

Direct UV Surface Treatment + Active Air & HVAC Sanitization

Indoor cultivation doesn’t just grow plants — it also creates ideal conditions for microorganisms.
Spores, bacteria, yeast, mildew, and mold thrive in sealed, high-humidity, high-biomass environments. Once established, they are expensive to eliminate and difficult to keep from returning.

That’s why professional cultivation facilities rely on two complementary biosecurity strategies working together:

• Direct surface and plant treatment (UV)

• Continuous air and HVAC sanitization

Together, these reduce pathogen pressure before outbreaks occur and also attack current outbreaks.

✅ Solution 1: Direct UV Surface & Plant 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) damages DNA and RNA, killing pathogens outright

• UVB (≈295 nm) suppresses biological pressure and can be used on plants when applied correctly

Why Facilities Need Direct UV

Air filtration alone does not eliminate:

• Spores already on plants

• Surface contamination on walls, floors, benches, and trellis

• Pathogen buildup under dense canopies

• Contaminated tools, carts, and post-harvest areas

Direct UV allows growers to neutralize contamination where it actually exists — immediately.

UV Solutions for Different Needs

🌙 UV Tower — Whole-Room Sterilization

• Automated nighttime operation

• UVC for deep surface sterilization

• UVB mode for plant-safe pathogen suppression

• Motion sensors and safety shutoffs

• Treats walls, floors, trellis, equipment, and exposed canopy

Best for: nightly room reset and overall microbial load reduction

🌿 Handheld UVB Wand (≈295 nm)

• Plant-safe narrowband UVB

• Targeted PM and biological suppression

• Ideal for under-canopy and hotspot treatment

• Prevents spread before outbreaks escalate

Best for: early intervention and preventative IPM

🧼 Handheld UVC Wand (≈275 nm)

• High-intensity germicidal sterilization

• For tools, trimmers, benches, and processing rooms

• “Kill-on-contact” sanitation

Best for: post-harvest rooms and equipment biosecurity

Direct UV = Stop outbreaks at the source.

✅ Solution 2: Active Air & HVAC Sanitization (HEPA + Carbon + PCO + Plasma + UVC)

Even in clean rooms, air is constantly transporting contamination:

• HVAC ducting

• Oscillating fans

• Worker movement

• High transpiration rates

• Dense plant canopies

Without continuous air treatment, grow rooms become pathogen circulation systems.

🌬 Mammoth 6-Stage Air Sanitization Systems

Advanced Air & Surface Purification for Indoor Agriculture

Our 2nd Generation Air Sanitizers are purpose-built for cultivation and feature a true Capture + Destroy approach:

6-Stage System

1. Prefilter – Captures large dust and debris, protecting downstream filters

2. HEPA Filter – Removes fine PM, pollen, and mold spores

3. Carbon Filter – Adsorbs odors, VOCs, and chemical contaminants

4. PCO (Photocatalytic Oxidation) – UV + TiO₂ catalyst creates reactive oxygen species that neutralize pathogens

5. Plasma Ionization – Releases positive and negative ions that deactivate airborne microbes

6. Germicidal UVC – Final kill stage for trapped or passing pathogens

Unlike many units that rely heavily on ionization alone, Mammoth systems prioritize high airflow and physical capture first, ensuring contaminants are removed — not just treated while floating in the air.

Result: cleaner air, healthier plants, and more consistent COAs.

🏢 NEW: HVAC Air Purifier Insert — Whole-Facility Protection

Biosecurity Starts in the Ductwork

Most contamination in commercial facilities spreads through shared HVAC systems. Treating individual rooms helps, but if pathogens circulate through ducting, reinfection is inevitable.

The Mammoth HVAC Insert installs directly into HVAC systems and treats air before it ever enters the grow room.

Technology Stack

• UVC Germicidal Lamps

• PCO (Photocatalytic Oxidation)

• Plasma Ionization

• Activated Carbon Filtration

Key Features

• Neutralizes airborne pathogens inside ductwork

• Reduces mold, mildew, bacteria, and viruses

• Eliminates odors and VOCs

• Treats both air and internal HVAC surfaces

• Auto airflow sensor activates system only when HVAC is running

• Continuous protection for all connected rooms

Why HVAC Treatment Matters

• Stops cross-room contamination

• Reduces biofilm buildup inside ducting

• Improves overall air quality facility-wide

• Increases effectiveness of room-level air sanitizers

Think of it as your first line of defense — before pathogens ever reach the canopy.

🎯 Why Mammoth Systems Prioritize Airflow (ACH Matters)

Pathogen control depends on how many times per hour you fully exchange and clean the air.

Recommended ACH Targets

Commercial cannabis facilities typically target 10–12 ACH for true microbial suppression.

Multiple units or HVAC integration may be required for larger rooms.

Clean Air + Clean Surfaces = Clean Harvest

Most facilities rely on only one approach:

• Filters

• IPM sprays

• Standalone air purifiers

• Environmental tweaks

But in sealed environments, you cannot control pathogens without treating BOTH air and surfaces.
