Bulk X-Ray Inspection
Bulk food processors need reliable inspection technology to detect contamination before products move further into production or reach consumers. The Mekitec BULK MIDMEKI X-ray inspection system provides advanced foreign object detection for unpackaged bulk foods such as nuts, dried fruits, seeds, vegetables, grains, and other raw materials.
Designed for high-capacity industrial production environments, this system delivers exceptional sensitivity, reliable contaminant detection, and seamless integration into existing bulk handling processes.
By implementing bulk X-ray inspection early in the production process, food manufacturers can protect their brand reputation, reduce costly recalls, and ensure compliance with modern food safety standards.
We are partnered with Mekitec, an innovative manufacturer of advanced X-ray inspection systems designed specifically for the food industry. Exceptional detection performance, intelligent software, reliable operation, and the best value in the industry are at the core of every Mekitec system.
Bulk MIDMEKI
By Mekitec
The BULK MIDMEKI uses Mekitec’s advanced X-ray software technology in bulk food processing environments. It enables processors to inspect raw materials and loose products before packaging or further processing.Â
This makes the BULK MIDMEKI ideal for processors that need to inspect large volumes of product with consistent accuracy.
Superior Detection Sensitivity
Advanced imaging technology detects small foreign materials that may not be visible with other inspection methods.
Consistent Inspection Performance
Stable detection even with variations in moisture, salt content, or product density
Automated Rejection
Contaminated products are automatically removed from the product stream.

FAQ
Why Use X-Ray Inspection for Bulk Food Products?​
Traditional metal detectors cannot identify many common contaminants found in agricultural products. X-ray inspection technology detects a much wider range of foreign materials.
What contaminants can an X-ray system detect?
X-ray can identify
Metal fragments
Stones and mineral contamination
Glass fragments
Ceramic materials
Dense plastics
Unlike metal detectors, X-ray systems analyze density differences within products, enabling detection of multiple contaminant types in real time as products move along a conveyor.
What is a bulk X-ray inspection system?
A bulk X-ray inspection system is a food safety technology used to detect foreign materials in loose, unpackaged food products moving along a conveyor. The system uses X-ray imaging to identify contaminants based on density differences, allowing it to detect materials that traditional metal detectors may miss.
Where should a bulk X-ray system be installed in the process?
Bulk X-ray inspection systems are typically installed in the processing line, often after initial cleaning. Detecting contaminants at this stage helps prevent foreign materials from reaching downstream equipment or finished packaging lines.
What production capacities can bulk X-ray systems handle?
Bulk X-ray inspection systems are designed for high-capacity food processing environments and can handle large throughput rates depending on product type and product depth. Bulk MIDMEKI Systems are capable of inspecting several tons of product per hour.
Is X-ray inspection safe for food products?
Yes. Food X-ray inspection systems use low levels of radiation that do not affect product quality, taste, or nutritional value. These systems are widely used across the global food industry and comply with strict safety standards.
How accurate are bulk X-ray inspection systems?
Bulk MIDMEKI X-ray inspection systems provide very high detection sensitivity and consistent performance when products are properly presented to the system. Detection accuracy depends on several factors, including product density, flow rate, and system configuration.
Do X-ray inspection systems require special regulatory permits?
In some regions, including California and Nevada, cabinet X-ray systems used for food inspection must be registered with local regulatory agencies. Requirements vary by state.
