In the food industry, safety and consistency are essential ingredients. Mekitec provides advanced solutions for guaranteeing the safety and quality of products. Mekitec's inspection systems use X-rays to detect various contaminants with a high degree of precision.

– We purchased various X-ray detectors from Mekitec, seven devices in total. The X-ray systems allow us to scan products individually, which is very helpful for revealing foreign objects.

Consistency is Key

Making delicious products only goes so far, as biting into something that doesn't belong is sure to leave a bad taste in anyone's mouth. Enjoying a staple of German cuisine should not involve any risk of unintended content, so catching foreign objects on the production line is critical.

Mekitec's X-ray systems remove products with unwanted material to ensure safety and meet a high standard for customer satisfaction.

– We are able to maintain safety even in products that present a particular challenge to detecting foreign objects. Upon detection, any products containing such objects must be removed, and the device does this automatically, Hausner explains.
