Frequently Asked Questions About the Mettler Toledo X16 X-ray Inspection System

The X16 X-ray inspection system is designed to detect contaminants such as metal, glass, stone, bone, and dense plastics in medium to large packaged products. It helps manufacturers in Dubai and the UAE improve food safety, reduce product recalls, and maintain consistent product quality during production.

 

The X16 uses advanced HiGain detector technology to improve detection sensitivity, especially for difficult contaminants. It is specifically designed for medium to large product sizes, making it more suitable than entry-level systems for larger packaging formats.

 

The X16 can detect a wide range of contaminants including ferrous and non-ferrous metals, stainless steel, glass fragments, mineral stones, calcified bone, and low-density materials such as certain plastics.

 

The X16 is ideal for medium to large, packaged products such as cartons, trays, bags, and containers. It is widely used in food, beverage, pharmaceutical, and FMCG industries where larger product inspection is required.

 

The X16 not only detects contaminants but also performs product integrity checks such as fill level monitoring, missing product detection, mass verification, and damaged packaging identification. This helps reduce waste, minimise downtime, and improve overall production efficiency.

 

The X16 X-ray inspection system is available through trusted suppliers like Al Thika Packaging LLC, offering installation, validation, and after-sales support across Dubai and the UAE.
