Extrusion International 4-2024

19 Extrusion International 4/2024 free. A single calibration before de- livery is sufficient to guarantee pre- cision for the lifetime of the device. The availability of the laser measur - ing heads is 99.8 %. The LASER PRO offers the option of FFT analysis to detect periodically recurring variations in product pa - rameters. This is an important tool for producing high-quality hoses and tubes and detecting irregulari - ties during extrusion. The measuring heads of the LASER PRO family provide the ultimate functionality with their compact and slim design. The optical components are located in protected areas. The diffraction analysis detects unavoid - able, gradually occurring contami - nation in real time and reports it. All models are designed to be open at the bottom so that neither water nor dirt can fall into the measuring head. The swiveling measuring head con- cept allows the device to be swiveled out of the working area if required. The measured values of the LASER PRO are displayed on the ECOCONTROL. Trend data, statisti- cal functions and FFT analyses can also be viewed. The SET POINT con- trol module can be used to control the diameter to the setpoint or min - imum value. Using the new LASER PRO ensures the highest product quality, optimizes production and saves costs at the same time. SIKORA AG www.sikora.net The measuring values are clearly visualized on the ECOCONTROL Operation Clean Sweep Certification Achieved  Davis-Standard announced that it has achieved Operation Clean Sweep (OCS) certification, becom- ing the first OEM in its field to earn this distinction. This certification demonstrates the company's com- mitment to preventing plastic pel - let (resin) loss and contributing to a cleaner environment, setting a new benchmark for environmental sus- tainability in the plastics industry. OCS is an international program designed to help plastics industry companies implement good house - keeping and pellet containment practices. By achieving OCS certifi- cation, Davis-Standard joins a grow- ing list of companies committed to reducing plastic pollution in water- ways and communities. “Our facilities in Fulton, NY, and Pawcatuck, CT, are blessed with natural beauty and proximity to vi - tal waterways and the ocean,” said Giovanni Spitale, CEO of Davis-Stan- dard. "This underscores our respon- sibility to protect these resources and is why Operation Clean Sweep certification is so important to us." “Environmental stewardship is deeply ingrained in our company culture at Davis-Standard," said Dan Guthrie, Chief Operating Offi- cer & President of Film, Sheet, and Core Auxiliaries at Davis-Standard. "Achieving Operation Clean Sweep certification reinforces our dedica- tion to responsible manufacturing practices and our commitment to minimizing our environmental foot - print.” This OCS achievement builds upon Davis-Standard's legacy of environ- mental responsibility and its 2025 sustainability commitments. The company's North American facilities are now powered by carbon-free electricity, and its Maillefer division received a Silver EcoVadis rating for its sustainability efforts in Finland. Moreover, numerous Davis-Stan- dard facilities maintain ISO 14001 certification for their environmen- tal management systems, with only one remaining to achieve the certi - fication. https://davis-standard.com/ sustainability/ and: https://opcleansweep.org/
