Our story

MEKI X-ray inspection systems on fish processing lines

Our founders were X-ray inspection specialists. They saw that X-ray inspection on primary packaging lines was out of reach for many food producers. The MEKI concept changed that: compact X-ray systems that let producers of every size, from family companies to multinationals, upgrade from metal detection to X-ray.

How we work

Product samples in a MEKI application test

We test your product first

Send us samples of your product and we run them through a MEKI system in an application test. You see what the system detects, and what it does not, before you decide.

We tell you what a system cannot do

A Critical Control Point has to answer five questions: inspect, remove, prove, check and record. An inspection system alone answers the first one. We help you plan the other four and we are clear about which part stays with your HACCP team.

We stay after installation

Our local partners, remote support and software updates keep your system running for years and add new inspection capabilities.
