Anton Paar L-Rix 510 inline refractometer

The Anton Paar L-Rix 510 inline refractometer is suitable for use in a wide range of hygienic applications, including measurements on pharmaceuticals, dairy, sugar solutions, syrup, food and beverages containing pulp.

Designed to perform with a high degree of accuracy, L-Rix 510 comes ready to install with a preset factory setting that never needs adjustment or recalibration. The sensor’s soldered optics need no liquid seals and ensure maintenance-free operation for the first 10 years of service life. Users benefit from ‘fit and forget’ simplicity for years of continuous performance.

L-Rix 510 efficiently handles from 0 to 100 weight concentrations and provides refractive index and concentration results comparable to those of laboratory refractometers. Once CIP/SIP routines are completed, the sensor reactivates in just minutes to minimise downtime.

L-Rix 510 brings built-in intelligence to production-line monitoring. An intuitive touch-screen interface, available in three versions, makes it easy to set up instrument parameters: the L-Rix 510 version for use with Anton Paar’s mPDS 5 evaluation unit, L-Rix 510 OT with built-in operating terminal that displays measured values and L-Rix 510 ROT which displays values on a remote operating terminal.

The L-Rix 510 sensor seamlessly integrates with other equipment and controls via analog output or fieldbus connections using PROFIBUS, Modbus TCP, and PROFINET, DeviceNet or Ethernet/IP protocols. It conforms with ASME Bioprocessing Equipment Standards and NAMUR NE107 diagnostic standards and is EHEDG-certified.
