How does a scent machine work in healthcare facilities?
A Zaluti scent machine uses micronisation technology: fragrance liquid is converted into ultra-fine particles that disperse evenly, without heat or water. This preserves air quality, which is essential in healthcare environments.
Using the Bluetooth app, intensity, timing and days can be easily adjusted per space. The Zaluti ModulAir is fully concealed in a ceiling or service cupboard, making the installation invisible and virtually silent. Thanks to its low-maintenance technology, the system is highly reliable for 24/7 use.
What does a scent machine cost for healthcare?
Professional fragrance systems are available for purchase or lease:
-
Purchase: from € 895,- excl. VAT
-
Term: 36 months full service, including fragrance management, periodic maintenance and refills
The exact price depends on room volume, ventilation and installation method.
Zaluti always offers a non-binding on-site test installation for optimal tuning.
Which scent machine suits my application?
| Space / situation | Recommended model |
|---|---|
| Treatment room or office (<150 m²) | Zaluti Air:1 Pro – compact, quiet solution |
| Residential unit or hall (150–400 m²) | Zaluti ModulAir – built into ceiling or service cupboard |
| Large central zone (400–1,000 m²) | Zaluti ModulAir XL – HVAC integration |
| Sanitary or sluice room | ModulAir with VernovaPure® technology – active odour neutralisation |
The Zaluti ModulAir is the most popular choice in healthcare due to its discreet placement and stable fragrance diffusion, even in spaces with air circulation or mechanical ventilation.
The best fragrances for healthcare facilities
The power of VernovaPure® – how odour neutralisation really works
Many air fresheners temporarily mask odours.
Zaluti’s VernovaPure® technology neutralises odours at a molecular level.
Scent works like a key in a lock (your nose). VernovaPure® subtly alters that key: airborne molecules bind to unpleasant compounds such as sulphur or nitrogen particles. Through this chemical reaction (nucleophilic addition), the molecule loses its scent. The odour is not covered, but truly neutralised — a genuine clean slate.
Proven results from the lab
VernovaPure® has been shown to be effective against:
-
Urine and toilet odours
-
Musty and damp smells
-
Smoke and food odours
For Zaluti systems, the fragrances Fresh Figs and Fresh Water were specifically developed. These aromas combine a fresh, natural character with VernovaPure® neutralisation. Test results show high effectiveness in sanitary areas and residential care environments.

From clinical to comfortable
The typical “hospital smell” can trigger stress and negatively affect perception. More and more modern healthcare facilities use scent in care to neutralise this clinical impression and replace it with a soft, natural freshness.
A scent like Fresh Water creates a healing environment: fresh, calm and homely. Research shows that such environments help reduce stress and support residents’ recovery.
How does a fragrance machine neutralise unpleasant odours in healthcare?
Thanks to VernovaPure® technology, odour molecules are chemically neutralised rather than masked, resulting in a genuinely fresh and hygienic environment.
Is scent diffusion safe in healthcare environments?
Yes. All Zaluti fragrances are IFRA-compliant, thoroughly tested and free from harmful substances. They do not affect air quality.
How often does a fragrance machine need refilling?
A 200 ml cartridge lasts on average 100–120 days, depending on intensity settings. Zaluti provides refills and fragrance changes through its fragrance management service.
