SIDEMEKI X-ray system equipped with two focal spots provides better safety & quality inspection for tall food packages, such as cans, bottles and cartons.
About
When inspecting tall food products, the detection focus is different compared to other consumer packaged food products. Foreign objects usually end up in the bottom, and the package quality defects (such as low fill level, open carton flaps, caps, and sealing) are present in the upper part of the tall product. With SIDEMEKI this challenge of divided focus is dealt with by having an option for two individual X-ray generators providing the sharpest image for the complete tall food product. This way the system continues the globally recognized Mekitec technology and mindset of delivering the best value and performance for food producers around the world. Since the SIDEMEKI system is designed for the inspection of individual food products, it works as an excellent traceability point in food production too. The system takes an X-ray image of each product going through, meaning that food producers have proof of the safety and quality of their production. By saving these images to the system storage or importing them to a factory-wide network, food manufacturers have a complete audit trail. This protects the producer as well as the retailer in case of reclamation from an end-customer.
