However, being faithful to its rigorous quality philosophy the company wanted to go one step further in the X-ray implementation. In order guarantee highest possible product safety, Mekitec designed and manufactured a rejection confirmation system according to the specifications of Schoppe & Schultz. This additional mechanism assures a food producer, that products identified as contaminated, are rejected from the production line without exception.

As an added benefit, various packaging features, like metalized foils, do not influence the inspection performance.
