SIDEMEKI

SIDEMEKI intended use

The SIDEMEKI system is designed for production lines where food packaging is larger rather than wider, e.g. E.g. containers, bottles, boxes and cans. This inspection system introduces a new approach to meet existing and future standards by providing true pack-to-pack traceability.

Why is X-ray inspection the new standard in the food industry?

Since the introduction of X-ray technology for quality control in the food industry, this superior testing method has gained traction and established itself as a leading solution for food safety.

X-ray inspection of primary packaging has made Critical Control Points an important part of the overall traceability in the supply chain, which starts with the raw material and ends with the purchase of the products by the consumer.

It is well known that X-ray systems are able to detect non-metallic contaminants. However, when inspection is performed on individually packaged products, X-ray inspection can add tremendous value in terms of overall quality control (e.g. headspace and seal inspection) and traceability. This reduces the number of complaints and provides consumers with safe and high quality products.

And when new local or global quality and safety certifications (e.g. HACCP, HARCP, FSMA or BRC) become necessary, inline X-ray inspection systems meet and exceed the requirements of all regulations. The introduction of X-ray inspection offers you the opportunity to open up new markets, comply with all standards and change packaging materials without restrictions.

What makes tall food products special for X-ray inspection?

When inspecting tall foods, the focus of detection is on different products than other packaged foods. Foreign objects are usually located in the lower part of the tall food, while the packaging quality defects (e.g. low fill level, open box flaps, closures and seals) are found in the upper part of the tall food.

With SIDEMEKI, this split focus challenge is solved with the option for two individual X-ray generators to provide the sharpest image for the entire high food product. In this way, the system continues the globally recognized Mekitec technology and ethos of delivering the best value and performance.

What should be taken into account in production lines with high food content?

Food packaged in tall containers is sensitive to production line speed changes and conveyor belt transfers. Line speeds are often high and the distances between individual packages are reduced to a minimum in order to achieve high production volumes. This places high demands on the production line equipment, including critical control points.

Ensuring a smooth production flow and the rejection of non-conforming products is crucial for these types of packaging and places higher demands on the design of the inspection system. For this reason, SIDEMEKI was designed without lead curtains and is equipped with comprehensive product guides to ensure that food packaging moves effortlessly through the system and inspection.

We foster the economy
Regional Economic Programme: Funded by the European Union - European Regional Development Fund (ERDF), the Federal Government and Land Schleswig-Holstein
Since January 2021 we have been a proud partner of the umbrella brand "Schleswig-Holstein. The real north." Because we are at home in the real north. In our mechanical engineering department (project: ECKO-Process) we have started the development of an automated production of foiled cardboard boxes without laps for the food industry with an automatic separation of foil and cardboard when used by the consumer. Since mechanical engineering and the manufacture of sustainable packaging depend on reliability and the highest quality, we made a conscious decision in favor of the development and production site in Büdelsdorf. Development, mechanical engineering, production and technical support all come from a single source. And from one place: our location here in the real north. The connection to Schleswig-Holstein, the people and our business partners strengthens our philosophy of further expanding Schleswig-Holstein as a business location.
