Anton Paar has launched its next-generation inline beverage analysers, Cobrix 5501, Cobrix 5601, Cobrix 7501, and Cobrix 7601. Features such as ‘Measurement Check’ and Cobrix’s advanced diet measurement bring a new level of quality control to the beverage industry.
Designed for comprehensive real-time monitoring of critical parameters in soft drink production, these models offer precise tracking of °Brix, % Diet, carbon dioxide (CO₂) levels, and total acidity (TA), ensuring optimal taste and quality consistency.
Key features:
- Density and sound velocity sensors: Equipped with either a p/T CO₂ measurement or an optical CO₂ measurement.
- Maintenance-free: Cobrix 5601 and 7601 have no service requirements
- Versatile installation: Suitable for inline and bypass installation options.
- Patented CO₂ technology: Ensures accurate CO₂ measurements and eliminates incorrect readings.
- Hygienic applications: Ideal for maintaining sanitation standards.
- Digital signal processing: Enhances measurement accuracy and reliability.
Pre-calibrated at the factory, Cobrix inline beverage analysers simplify the setup process, eliminating the need for time-consuming, product-specific adjustments on-site. The addition of TA measurement offers a more comprehensive analysis, aiding producers in maintaining optimal taste and quality consistency.
The advanced diet measurement feature, available for Cobrix 7501 and 7601, employs dual measurements for up to ten times faster response times, improved accuracy and stability, reducing calibration needs, and increasing efficiency in quality management programmes. By comparing component ratios to ionic fingerprints, measurement check ensures product composition accuracy and identify any discrepancies, such as sugar carry-over, missing ingredients, or sensor malfunctions.
Anton Paar’s Cobrix inline beverage analysers deliver the highest accuracy and repeatability for measuring key parameters like % Diet, CO₂, °Brix, sugar inversion, TA, alcohol concentration, colour, and oxygen content. These analysers help safeguard product quality through application-specific detection of production anomalies, preventing unnecessary raw material use and ensuring in-spec production.
Designed for flexible production needs, the Cobrix analysers can be installed inline or in a bypass version. The evaluation unit can be positioned up to 250m from the sensor, providing easy access to production data. It features a standard Ethernet connection to Anton Paar’s Davis 5 software for visualising statistical production data and trends across the plant, and can also be integrated with laboratory equipment if needed. The system offers various communication options, including analogue outputs, digital I/Os, and fieldbuses.
With high-grade housing materials and an IP65 or higher rating for sensors and the evaluation unit, these analysers are built to withstand rigorous cleaning processes, including chemical foaming and pressurised water cleaning.
