HyGenikx HGX-AF-25 Air & Surface Steriliser 25m²

The HyGenikx HGX-AF-25 is a wall-mounted air and surface sterilisation unit designed to continuously reduce airborne and surface bacteria and viruses within enclosed spaces. Built from aluminium and compact enough to sit unobtrusively on a wall, it works passively in the background without requiring any intervention from kitchen or facilities staff during normal operation. It is rated to treat rooms up to 25m², making it well suited to smaller food preparation areas, washrooms, changing rooms, dry stores, and similar enclosed spaces in a food service or hospitality setting.

In a commercial kitchen environment, microbial contamination is an ongoing concern that standard cleaning schedules alone cannot fully address — particularly in the air and on hard-to-reach surfaces between cleans. Units like this are commonly used as a supplementary hygiene measure alongside existing cleaning protocols, helping to maintain lower pathogen levels throughout the working day and overnight when the space is unoccupied. The passive, continuous operation means there is no need for staff to manage cycles or remove themselves from the area during treatment.

Practical advantages for operators include:

• Continuous passive operation with no staff input required during service
• Lightweight aluminium construction keeps installation straightforward
• Compact wall-mounted format takes up no worktop or floor space
• Applicable across multiple room types within the same site
• Supports compliance with food hygiene best-practice expectations

Installation is straightforward — the unit is wall-mounted and compact at 430mm tall by 130mm wide. As with any active hygiene device, placement matters: positioning should account for room air circulation to ensure effective coverage across the full 25m² treatment area. It is worth considering whether a single unit is sufficient if your space is subdivided or irregularly shaped, as dead air pockets can limit effectiveness.

This model is well suited to smaller individual rooms within a hospitality or food service operation — a single kitchen section, a staff washroom, a back-of-house prep area, or a dry goods store. For larger open-plan kitchens or spaces significantly over 25m², a higher-capacity model from the HyGenikx range would be more appropriate.

If you are unsure whether this unit is correctly sized for your space, or if you are planning to cover multiple areas across a site, we are happy to talk through the options with you before you order.
