A new type of foam spray gun has eliminated the need for compressed air.

Using a foaming head that’s shaped like a duck’s bill, the Lightweight Foam Gun from Tecpro Australia aspirates the antiseptic and water mix within the unit.

The foam is produced using holes along the sides and back of the nozzle which create a built-in air induction system. The foaming nozzle can be removed for rinsing and simple hose down.

In addition to removing the need for compressed air, this Foam Gun is lightweight and durable.

It weighs 660 grams with stainless steel spring, axel and control lever. The fixed rubber grip is made from EPDM rubber to minimise heat transfer and is suitable for temperatures up to 50°.

The Foam Gun works well in environments with low water pressure, but can handle up to 12 bar (170psi).

In news that is disappointing but not surprising given the recent reports on the unfolding Qenos saga, the new owner of Qenos has placed the company into voluntary administration. The closure of the Qenos Botany facility has also been confirmed.

An agreement struck between Cleanaway and Viva Energy will see the two companies undertake a prefeasibility assessment of a circular solution for soft plastics and other hard-to-recycle plastics.
