Why do UAE food plants choose a curtainless X-ray system like MEKI C?

In UAE facilities, curtainless systems are preferred where lead curtains restrict product flow or increase cleaning effort. MEKI C allows smooth movement of cups and sealed packs, reducing wear parts and simplifying sanitation routines commonly followed in food factories in Dubai and Abu Dhabi.

What product formats are best suited for MEKI C in the UAE?

MEKI C is typically used for cup-based products such as yoghurt, desserts, cereals, and ready meals. UAE processors rely on its cup-guiding and rejection design to maintain product stability during inspection without tipping or misalignment.

How does MEKI C integrate into existing UAE production lines?

The system is usually installed after filling and sealing, before secondary packing. Its inline configuration allows UAE plants to add X-ray inspection without modifying upstream equipment or increasing conveyor complexity.

What maintenance tasks are reduced by the curtainless design?

Without lead curtains, MEKI C reduces cleaning time, curtain replacement, and mechanical wear. UAE maintenance teams benefit from fewer consumable parts and simpler daily cleaning procedures aligned with HACCP schedules.

Is MEKI C suitable for high-humidity food processing areas?

MEKI C operates reliably in controlled indoor environments with moderate humidity. UAE plants manage humidity through standard ventilation and cleaning practices, allowing stable inspection performance without additional enclosure systems.

MEKI C

MEKI C is a curtainless X-ray inspection system developed for cup products and primary food packages requiring uninterrupted inspection. It is used in food factories where lead curtains interfere with product stability or hygiene. The system supports internal contamination detection while simplifying maintenance and cleaning. It operates within a detection area of 240 × 110 mm and supports conveyor speeds up to 1.0 m/s. The MEKI C Food X Ray Inspection System is widely specified for food production operations across Saudi Arabia.

MEKI C functions as a complete X-ray inspection control point, combining detection, rejection, and reporting into a single curtain-free system. By eliminating lead curtains, it removes a common source of wear and contamination risk while allowing smooth product transfer through the inspection zone.

In Saudi factories located in Riyadh and Jeddah, MEKI C is commonly installed on lines producing yoghurt cups, instant noodles, cereals, and ready-to-eat meals. The system’s cup-oriented guides and rejection mechanisms ensure that products remain upright and correctly positioned during inspection. This is critical in high-volume lines where stability affects both inspection accuracy and downstream automation.

The system supports conveyor speeds suitable for continuous production and operates within standard factory temperature ranges. With a linear scanner resolution of 0.4 mm and controlled X-ray output, MEKI C provides consistent internal inspection while supporting quality documentation and audit requirements used across large-scale food manufacturing and logistics operations in Saudi Arabia.
