X-ray Inspection Systems
Our lineup of advanced X-ray inspection systems for food safety and quality control
MEKI™ ONE
MEKI ONE is Mekitec’s all-in-one food X-ray inspection system for primary packaged foods, combining automatic rejection, a reject bin and reject confirmation.
Integrated inspection control point
X-ray inspection, automatic rejection, reject containment, standard reject confirmation and reporting are combined in one configured frame.
Defined primary-package envelope
Product fit is checked against the height-dependent envelope rather than a misleading fixed rectangle.
Configurable conveyor and reject options
Published options include one- or two-conveyor operation, push-arm rejection, hand sensors and complete reject confirmation.
Role in a complete X-ray CCP
MEKI ONE supports the physical equipment layer of a complete X-ray Critical Control Point (CCP): inspect, reject, isolate, confirm and report. It does not by itself complete the CCP.

Compact installation dimensions
Published system dimensions are 800 or 1200 mm long, 515 mm deep and 2000 mm high.
Configuration-specific product length
Published configurations support products up to 250 mm or up to 450 mm long.
Two published reject approaches
An air reject or pusher with bins can be selected for the approved application.
Inspection through metallized packaging
MEKI can inspect food in foil or metallized packaging, subject to testing with the actual food and package.
MIDMEKI
MIDMEKI is a 200 W food X-ray inspection system for medium packages, multipacks and trays, with model-specific load, speed and product-length limits.
200 W inspection platform
The published generator range is 40–80 kV with a maximum power of 200 W.
Medium-package product envelope
Available product width changes with height and must be checked against the official curve.
Configuration-specific handling limits
Load, speed and product length must be confirmed as a valid configuration rather than combined as independent maxima.
Air or pusher rejection
An air reject or pusher with bins can be selected for the confirmed product, package and production line.
SIDEMEKI™
SIDEMEKI is Mekitec’s side-view food X-ray inspection system for bottles, cans, cartons and tall packages, with one or two X-ray generator-detector pairs.
Side-view inspection geometry
The system is designed for upright bottles, cans, cartons and containers.
One or two X-ray views
The published configuration supports one or two generators with corresponding detectors.
One or two reject systems
The reject arrangement is selected for the approved foreign-object and quality-inspection functions.
Separate reject paths when needed
One reject system can handle all configured results, or two can separate foreign-object rejects from other quality-control rejects.
WIDEMEKI
WIDEMEKI is Mekitec’s dual-view food X-ray inspection system for wide, low-profile packages such as bakery pillow packs, using two partly overlapping images.
Paired wide-view imaging
Two parallel generator-detector pairs create paired and partly overlapping X-ray images across the product width.
Two published product-size combinations
The published physical combinations are 680 × 65 mm or 600 × 120 mm and must not be mixed into a new rectangle.
One or two reject systems
The reject arrangement is selected for the inspection and line design.
BULK MIDMEKI
BULK MIDMEKI is Mekitec’s food X-ray inspection system for unpackaged nuts, dried fruit, seeds and vegetables, with tailored feeding and automatic rejection.
Unpackaged-food inspection stage
The system is designed for loose food and ingredients before final packaging.
Published throughput up to 20,000 kg/h
This is an application-specific throughput maximum, not a static conveyor-load rating.
Application-engineered feed and rejection
Product presentation and automatic rejection are designed and validated together.
HIGHER MIDMEKI
HIGHER MIDMEKI is Mekitec’s 500 W food X-ray inspection system for thick and dense packaged foods such as cheese, butter, large bags, trays and multipacks.
500 W X-ray platform
The published generator range is 60–150 kV with a maximum power of 500 W.
Dense-product applications
Published examples include cheese wheels, butter blocks, large bags, trays, boxes and multipacks.
Height-dependent package envelope
Maximum width changes with product height, so fit is checked against the graph rather than a fixed rectangle.
BIGMEKI
BIGMEKI is Mekitec’s 500 W food X-ray inspection system with MEKI AI for large primary and secondary packages, with 30 kg and 60 kg load options.
Large-package inspection platform
BIGMEKI is intended for large primary packages, secondary packaging and large trays.
Coupled load-and-speed options
The 30 kg and 60 kg limits each belong to their own published conveyor-speed range.

Key Applications
Discover how our X-ray inspection systems solve real-world challenges across various industries
Counter & Filling Inspection
Confirm every pack has the right number of pieces and fillings, even when pieces overlap
How it Works
Set the expected piece count and filling targets. The X-ray image is analyzed to find pieces and filling areas; the system measures density in each area and estimates how many pieces belong to it. Smart separation tools split touching or horizontally joined pieces, then results are checked against limits for pass or reject. Auto-calibration keeps performance stable, similar to Foreign Object Detection
Key Benefits
- Accurate counts and filling verification, even with overlapping pieces
- Fewer complaints and giveaways by rejecting only off-count packs
- Consistent quality that protects brand trust
FO Detection in High-Density Containers
Detect foreign objects in hard-to-reach areas within high-density containers
How it Works
MEKI AI makes it possible to detect foreign objects even in challenging, dense products or packaging. By adapting how the system inspects different areas, it significantly improves detection accuracy where it's traditionally most difficult. The capability is most useful for SIDEMEKI applications.
Key Benefits
- Improved detection in challenging high-density containers
- Improved detection in challenging areas
- Clear visual segmentation
- Tailored algorithm selection
Seal Inspection
Prevent food or product spoilage by rejecting products with faulty seals
How it Works
The system detects broken or open seals by scanning the sealed area of each package. It flags seals that trap product material, often a sign of leakage or contamination. It works reliably across all packaging types and sealing methods.
Key Benefits
- Ensures seal integrity
- Prevents leaks and spoilage
- Adapts to all product shapes and sizes
Glass Detection in Glass Containers
Detect foreign objects especially glass within a glass container
How it Works
The glass container is divided into multiple zones, e.g. high- and low-density zones. Users customize detection settings specifically for glass detection, leveraging both classic imaging techniques and advanced AI models. Configuration options and color overlays enable detection within different density areas.
Key Benefits
- Improved detection in hard-to-see zones
- Clear, color-coded visual segmentation
- Size of foreign object detection starts from 2mm for Glass contaminant in a Glass container
Detection of Organic Material
X-ray technology that detects organic debris like fruit pits in food products by analyzing density differences, ensuring accurate quality control with minimal false positives
How it Works
An X-ray image is analyzed to identify organic debris within the filling zones. The system measures density gradients within each area, differentiates debris from the product and flags them. Results are evaluated against predefined accept and reject thresholds. Auto-calibration maintains consistent performance over time, similar to Foreign Object Detection.
Key Benefits
- Accurate detection of small organic debris in low-viscosity food products
- Optimized quality control, rejecting only products containing organic debris, reducing false positives, customer complaints, and waste
- Consistent product quality that enhances brand reputation
Missing Product Detection in Food Packaging
X-ray-based system that detects missing or excess product in food packaging through precise density analysis, ensuring quality control and reducing waste
How it Works
The system checks overall product density from X-ray images to detect under- or over-filled packages. It also divides the image into a grid, calculates density and area percentages for each cell, and compares them to user-set thresholds. If enough cells meet criteria, the package is accepted; if not, it's marked as not OK.
Key Benefits
- Reliable detection of under- or over-filled product in food packages
- Enhanced quality control with precise density evaluation, reducing under- or over-filled errors that lead to customer complaints, negative online feedback, and unnecessary product waste
- Ensures consistent detection performance over time, strengthening product quality, reinforcing brand trust, and improving consumer confidence
Inspection for products with clip
X-ray-based system that detects missing or excess product in food packaging through precise density analysis, ensuring quality control and reducing waste
How it Works
Mekitec X-ray scans each product and identifies the clip as an expected, high-density component. The system then flags only unexpected contaminants and, in the same inspection, confirms the clip is present (and in the correct position if required).
Key Benefits
- Reliable and accurate foreign object detection in products which include high-density clips.
- Reject products with missing clips to maintain high standards of quality and production efficiency.
Cavern detection in baked products
Advanced X-ray inspection system that detects internal caverns and holes in baked products through intelligent density analysis, ensuring consistent quality and preventing defective products from reaching customers
How it Works
Mekitec X-ray scans each product and identifies low-density anomalies within the crumb structure. The system then flags internal caverns that differ from the expected density pattern, enabling reliable detection.
Key Benefits
- Prevents defective products from reaching the market
- Reduces customer complaints and quality claims
- Ensures consistent product quality across batches
Multi-Functional Quality Inspection for Bottled Products
Bottles or cartons with caps and varying fill levels require multiple quality checks. Bundling these inspections together with foreign object detection into a single system improves reliability, saves cost and maintains stable performance.
How it Works
Mekitec X-ray scans the full bottle and detects in addition to foreign objects, cap issues, and fill-level defects.
Key Benefits
- Reliable foreign object detection in complex bottled products at high speeds
- Cap presence and correctness verification
- Region-specific inspection along the bottle height
- Filling consistency (under filling/over filling)
- Increased confidence in product quality by reducing false rejects
