The Rossi & Catelli Venus T 1000 is a used beverage machine — specifically a continuous evaporator, sometimes referred to as an industrial concentrator — designed to reduce the water content of liquid products through controlled evaporation under vacuum conditions. Rossi & Catelli is a well-established Italian manufacturer with a long history of building thermal processing and evaporation equipment for the food and beverage industry, particularly for the concentration of fruit juices, tomato products, and similar high-volume liquid commodities.
This unit is a three-effect continuous evaporator with a forced circulation flash chamber, giving it the ability to process product across successive evaporation stages for improved energy efficiency and throughput. Its rated capacity is 1,000 tonnes of product in 24 working hours, placing it firmly in the industrial-scale category.
The machine is supplied complete with a comprehensive set of ancillary equipment. The electrical panel is housed in a stainless steel cabinet, and the structural framework consists of a galvanized carbon steel support scaffold. Condensation is handled by a stainless steel condenser fitted with a dedicated water extraction pump and its own motorisation. Product circulation is managed by three pumps: two are fully motorised units, while the third is driven by a steam turbine. Vacuum is maintained by two dedicated vacuum pumps. Stainless steel impeller pumps transfer product between the three effects, and two mono pumps handle product extraction at the output stage. The instrumentation package includes a refractometer, level sensors, steam modulators, and safety valves, among other associated controls.
The machine is described as fully operational and complete with all accessories required for immediate use. Prior to the 2024 processing campaign, it underwent a total overhaul covering all of its components. The unit is located in Italy.
