Every food factory faces the same three audit questions: how do you keep foreign bodies out, how do you guarantee declared pack weight, and can you show the records? On the line that's a metal detector (AD-4971), an in-motion checkweigher (AD-4961), and — for glass, bone or stone the detector can't see — X-ray (AD-4991 ProteX). A&D builds all three, hygienic stainless and washdown-ready.

Around the line: moisture analyzers for logged LOD QC, washdown scales (FZ-iWP, SW) for line-side sampling and goods-in, and AD-4212F weigh modules built into filling machines. One brand, one calibration schedule, one service contact — kept audit-ready by our JAFZA calibration and integration team. See also Food & Beverage and fish & meat scales.

Food Factory Inspection FAQ — UAE

Does my food factory need a metal detector or an X-ray inspection system?
They catch different things. A metal detector (A&D AD-4971) finds ferrous and non-ferrous metal contamination and is the standard control point on most lines. X-ray inspection (A&D AD-4991 ProteX) also finds glass, stone, bone, and dense plastics, works through foil and metallised packaging, and adds shape, count, and mass checks. Many UAE factories run metal detection on every line and add X-ray where the product or customer requirements demand it. A&D Gulf can review your products and packaging and recommend the right combination.
What does an in-motion checkweigher do, and why not weigh by hand?
An in-motion checkweigher (A&D AD-4961) weighs every single pack as it moves down the conveyor — typically thousands per hour — and automatically rejects under-weight packs and flags over-fills. Manual spot checks sample a fraction of production; a checkweigher documents 100% of it, protecting you from both give-away (over-filling eats margin) and under-weight complaints from retailers and inspectors.
Will this equipment help me pass HACCP and food-safety audits?
Inspection equipment is how food factories implement critical control points for foreign-body contamination and weight control. The A&D AD-4971 metal detector and AD-4961 checkweigher are HACCP-oriented by design — hygienic stainless construction, washdown-rated, with stored product settings and data output for your records. A&D Gulf supplies the equipment with calibration certificates traceable to national standards, and service to keep everything audit-ready. (Your HACCP plan itself is defined with your food-safety consultant or certifier.)
Can you integrate inspection systems into our existing production line?
Yes. Checkweighers, metal detectors, and X-ray systems are conveyor-based and designed for in-line installation, and A&D weigh modules build directly into filling and packing machinery. A&D Gulf provides industrial integration support — from specifying the right aperture and belt widths to commissioning — through our JAFZA-based engineering team.
Do you supply, service, and calibrate food factory weighing equipment across the UAE?
Yes. A&D Gulf FZE is the authorised A&D Japan distributor based in Jebel Ali Free Zone, Dubai. We supply inspection systems, scales, and moisture analyzers with calibration certificates, and provide ongoing service, calibration visits, and support across Dubai, the UAE, and the GCC — so one supplier covers the whole weighing and inspection side of your line.
