AirROS by SAGE Industrial

What AirROS by SAGE Industrial does

AirROS by SAGE Industrial is a Clovis, California-based (legal entity SAGE Industrial Corp, founded 2008) commercial manufacturer of air and surface purification systems that uses proprietary High Voltage Controlled Pulse (HVCP) technology to generate Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS) via non-thermal plasma. The company operates two customer segments: commercial indoor and greenhouse cannabis cultivators (primary) and perishable food supply chain operators across meat, poultry, seafood, produce, nuts, and wine (secondary, leveraging 15+ years of prior experience). Its core product family is the GroShield series of industrial air purifiers (40XX, 40YY Pro, 40ZZ Pro XL, and 4120 Titan) scaled from small commercial grows to facilities of up to 300,000 cubic feet, accompanied by a controller and sensor accessory line (4000CSI/CSIT/CIT/CIR controllers, 4000S remote sensor, handheld sensor kit, RS485X-BOX wet-environment sensor, 935 sensor kit) and native integrations with Grow Link, Trolmaster, and PRIVA greenhouse climate control platforms.

The core technology creates seven ROS species (five short-lived inside the HVCP chamber — Hydroxyl Radical, Singlet Oxygen, Superoxide, Atomic Oxygen, Peroxynitrite — and two longer-lived species diffused into the environment — Gas-phase Hydrogen Peroxide and Ozone at 20ppb) that combine to form Hydrogen Trioxide (Trioxidane), a natural antimicrobial. AirROS positions itself against HEPA filters, ionizers, and UV/PCO systems on the basis of combined long-distance surface sanitization (6+ feet from the unit) plus continuous air purification at ultra-low power consumption, and holds certifications including GMP, UL (File E526152), CE, UCKA, RCM, RoHS, FDA GRAS for ozone in food processing, EPA Establishment Number, USDA approval for meats and poultry, and organic compliance. Notable customer outcomes include 28 consecutive non-detected yeast/mold lab tests at Primitiv Group and Best Flower at the 2025 MJBowl Awards via Lit by the Lake.

The business model is direct enterprise hardware sales with custom quotations (no published price list), supported by a recurring consumables stream — filters and reaction chambers on a 6-12 month cycle and sensor heads on a 6-14 month cycle. Sales run through enterprise field sales targeting commercial cannabis cultivators, free consultations and product demos, and event-driven demand generation at MJBizCon and the MJBowl Awards. The company sells commercial/industrial units only (no residential products), distributes domestically via direct sales and internationally via airros.com with country-specific compliance, and operates under founder/CEO Brian Taylor with a team of 11-50 employees from its Clovis, CA manufacturing facility.

Core offering

AirROS by SAGE Industrial manufactures and sells commercial-grade air and surface purification systems for cannabis cultivation facilities. The GroShield product line uses proprietary High Voltage Controlled Pulse (HVCP) technology to generate seven Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS) that continuously sanitize both air and surfaces in grow rooms. The company also offers replacement controllers, sensors, and consumables for ongoing maintenance.

Product overview

AirROS by SAGE Industrial offers a comprehensive commercial air and surface purification system using Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS) technology for cannabis grow rooms and greenhouses. The product line consists of four GroShield models (40XX, 40YY, 40ZZ, and 4120 Titan) scaled for different facility sizes from small commercial grows to large multi-acre greenhouses. Each system utilizes a two-phase purification process: Phase 1 creates non-thermal plasma generating five short-lived ROS species inside the reaction chamber; Phase 2 diffuses longer-lived hydrogen peroxide and ozone into the environment for continuous surface and air sanitation. The ecosystem includes multiple controller variants (CSI, CSIT, CIT, CI) and sensor options (4000S remote, handheld kit, RS485X-BOX for wet environments) for 24/7 environmental monitoring and dynamic ROS level control.

Broad incumbents

• Blueair (Unilever): Global consumer and commercial air purifier brand with HEPA-based technology. Overlaps in commercial air purification but does not specialize in the cannabis cultivation niche or long-distance surface treatment.
• AtmosAir Solutions: Provider of bipolar ionization air purification for commercial buildings, healthcare and food processing. Comparable technology category (active air treatment) with overlap in commercial facilities.
• IQAir: Premium commercial and medical-grade air purification company. Competes on pathogen reduction in air but does not target the cannabis cultivation vertical or surface sanitization at distance.

Emerging players

• Aerobiotix: Medical-grade air decontamination company with growing commercial / industrial reach. Competes on pathogen destruction in occupied spaces and could expand into adjacent verticals AirROS also targets.
• Steril-Aire: UV germicidal solutions for HVAC and commercial facilities including food processing. Comparable technology approach (active air treatment) with overlapping commercial customers in food safety and clean rooms.

Direct peers

• Quest Dehumidifiers: Provides high-efficiency dehumidification and climate control equipment purpose-built for indoor cultivation. Many of the same cannabis cultivator customers buy both Quest climate equipment and AirROS purification systems.
• Andén (by Therma-Stor): Commercial-grade dehumidification and environmental control brand for cultivation and indoor agriculture. Adjacent equipment category serving the same cannabis grower customer base.
• RGF Environmental Group: Manufacturer of advanced air, water and food purification technologies including PHI Cell and REME technologies. Competes with AirROS in commercial air treatment and also serves food safety and HVAC channels.
• AiroClean420: Direct cannabis-focused competitor offering air purification systems specifically designed for indoor grow rooms to eliminate mold, mildew and odors. Closest product overlap to AirROS GroShield.
• Phresh Filters / Can-Filter: Carbon filtration systems widely used by cannabis cultivators for odor control. Competes with AirROS's odor elimination value proposition and is commonly deployed alongside grow-room climate equipment.
