Odour Solutions — Scent Diffuser
Prolitec Scent Diffusers
Advanced commercial scent diffusers for superior waste room odour control. Our systems diffuse fragrance and odour-neutralising agents into the air — as chute doors open, airflow carries the scent upwards, providing effective garbage room odour control for every floor.

Overview
Fresher waste rooms, happier residents
Downwaste equips waste facilities with advanced Prolitec commercial scent diffusers, ensuring superior waste room odour control. Our odour elimination systems diffuse fragrance and odour-neutralising agents into the air, creating a fresher environment throughout the building.
As chute doors open, the airflow naturally carries the scent upwards through the chute — providing effective odour management on every floor served by the system, not just at the garbage room level. This makes the Prolitec system uniquely effective for multi-storey chute-fed buildings.
Available in three models — AQ580, AQ1280 and AQ1570 — to suit everything from individual waste points to large multi-zone buildings with HVAC integration.

Features
Why specify a Prolitec system?
Neutralises rather than masks odours
Prolitec's fragrance technology uses odour-neutralising agents rather than simply covering bad smells. The active compounds bond with malodorous molecules in the air, eliminating them at source for a genuinely fresher environment.
Activated by chute door airflow
As chute doors open, the airflow naturally carries the scent upwards through the chute — providing effective odour control on every floor served by the chute, not just at ground level.
Programmable and schedulable
All AQ units can be programmed to release fragrance at set intervals and intensities, and can be scheduled to align with peak usage times — ensuring effective coverage when it is needed most while conserving fragrance outside peak hours.
HVAC integration available
The AQ1570 model supports integration with the building's existing HVAC system, allowing fragrance to be distributed through ventilation ductwork to cover multiple rooms or zones simultaneously.
Discreet and low-maintenance
The compact units are unobtrusive and require only periodic fragrance cartridge replacement. No plumbing, no drainage and no specialist installation skills required beyond standard electrical connection.
Wide fragrance range
A wide range of Prolitec fragrance options is available to suit different building types and preferences — from fresh citrus and clean linen to subtle, neutral odour-neutralising blends.
FAQ
Common questions
What is a waste odour solution?
Waste odour solutions encompass technologies and methodologies employed to address and manage odours emanating from waste collection and disposal areas. These solutions are designed to neutralise, mask or eliminate malodorous compounds, enhancing the environmental quality of waste rooms, garbage rooms and chute areas.
How do Prolitec scent diffusers work?
Prolitec scent diffusers use a precision cold-air diffusion technology to break fragrance oil into ultra-fine dry particles and disperse them evenly through the air. As chute doors open, the resulting airflow carries the fragrance upwards through the chute — providing effective odour control on multiple floors.
Who needs a waste room scent diffuser?
Scent diffusers are ideal for any building where odour from waste rooms or chute areas affects the experience of residents, guests or staff — including high-end residential towers, BTR developments, hotels, student accommodation and hospitals.
Which Prolitec model is right for my building?
The AQ580 suits smaller waste rooms and individual floor collection points. The AQ1280 handles larger garbage rooms and higher-volume waste areas. The AQ1570 is ideal for large buildings where HVAC distribution across multiple zones is required. Our UK team can advise on the correct model following a site review.
Can Prolitec units be integrated with HVAC systems?
Yes — the AQ1570 model is specifically designed for HVAC integration, allowing fragrance to be distributed through the building's existing ventilation ductwork to cover multiple areas simultaneously.
How often do fragrance cartridges need replacing?
Cartridge life varies depending on the model, usage schedule and intensity settings. Typically, cartridges last several weeks to a few months. Replacement is quick and straightforward — no tools or specialist skills required.
