Cobrix 5500 and Cobrix 5600 provide continuous measurements of °Brix, %Diet, and CO2 during soft drink production. Being pre-adjusted in the factory, they do not require time-consuming, product-specific on-site adjustments and commissioning procedures. Besides measuring °Brix, %Diet, and CO2 concentration, various other parameters, such as alcohol content, sugar inversion, and optionally also conductivity, color, and oxygen, can be determined.

Save time and costs during commissioning and production downtimes, and accommodate a wide range of soft drinks with little or no adjustment. Anton Paar’s Cobrix models give you the flexibility to react to product and market demands instantly.
Continuous measurement of all your product parameters, including °Brix, %Diet or TA, CO2, alcohol, sugar inversion, and more, ensures that your production and your product is within specifications.
A simple touchscreen user interface facilitates the setup of the instrument and product parameters. In addition, you can visualize your process and display graphical trends with just a few clicks. By setting lower and upper limits on measurement values, alarms can be set and triggered using digital or relay outputs.
The powerful data acquisition and visualization software (client-server) Davis 5 enables you to save all data and alarms, provides statistical process control and graphical trend analysis, and allows product adjustments. Password-protected access to all measuring systems is possible from various locations, while providing powerful reporting and integration with your corporate quality management system.
