Tecpro Australia has released a new variant in its range of low-pressure wash-down guns on the back of requests from the food industry.

The Italian-made RB65 gun was previously available in blue to denote cold water, and red to indicate hot water. However, customers in meat and dairy industries were requesting a white version as well.

The new white version has a built-in swivel inlet, which makes the hose easier to use. It is also easy to shut off with just one hand, according to the company.

All RB65 wash-down guns have been ergonomically designed to make them comfortable to use and easy to hold for extended periods.

The weight is evenly balanced to reduce stress on the operator’s hand and wrist. Also, the air gap between the inner body and the outer plastic housing of the hose gun means there's no risk of heat transfer to the outer casing.

The RB65 has a maximum temperature range of 90°C, with a flow rate of 60 l/min @ 20 bar. It can handle pressure up to 24 bar (350 psi).

Tecpro Australia has a wide range of wash-down guns and hose nozzles for any environment.

The World Packaging Organisation has named 234 winners for the WorldStar Packaging Awards 2026, which were selected from 481 entries submitted across 36 countries.

ACOR is calling on the Government to urgently introduce packaging reforms or risk the collapse of Australia’s plastic recycling sector and face millions of tonnes of plastic waste polluting the environment.

As 2025 draws to a close, it is clear the packaging sector has undergone one of its most consequential years in over a decade. Consolidation at the top, restructuring in the middle, and bold innovation at the edges have reshaped the industry’s horizons. At the same time, regulators, brand owners and recyclers have inched closer to a new circular operating model, even as policy clarity remains elusive.
