Horizontal Mixers for White Snus: Innovation and Efficiency for Manufacturers

Horizontal Mixers for White Snus: Innovation and Efficiency for Manufacturers
24 Jan 2025  |
The white snus industry requires advanced technological solutions to ensure product quality consistency, ease of cleaning, and durability over time. MIX Srl, with its experience in the field and over 100 active mixers in this specific sector, offers horizontal mixers designed to meet the needs of manufacturers, combining innovation and high-level performance.

Homogeneity of the Final Product Quality

In white snus production, it is crucial to mix fibers such as cellulose fibers or wheat fibers with various liquids, including water/soda solution, water/salt solution, and nicotine. In the final stage of the process, flavoring is added. One of the strengths of MIX Srl’s horizontal mixers is the PalaMIX technology, which generates the three-dimensional mechanical fluidization of the ingredients. This technique ensures even distribution of solid and liquid components, guaranteeing a perfectly homogeneous mixture even with complex formulations. The correct distribution of liquids prevents the formation of lumps, which could compromise the consumer experience when the pouch is placed under the lip. With a coefficient of variation (CV) ≤ 3%, MIX mixers not only improve the quality of the final result, but also enhance production efficiency, reducing waste.

Easy cleaning

The white snus industry is constantly evolving, driven by consumer trends that require frequent changes in flavors. Manufacturers offer a wide range of tastes, from classic tobacco and mint to citrus, exotic fruit, and sweet fragrances. To support this flexibility, ensuring ease of cleaning is essential to minimize equipment downtime. Thanks to the innovative Extractashaft design, MIX mixers allow easy access to the mixing chamber, drastically reducing cleaning time. The combination of the Extractashaft design with a mirror-finish interior (Ra 0.2-0.25 micron) ensures:

  • Quick and effective cleaning
  • Compliance with the most stringent hygiene standards
  • Increased productivity, thanks to reduced equipment downtime.

Durability Over Time

MIX Srl’s horizontal mixers are built to last: they are made in AISI 316 stainless steel, offering high resistance to corrosion caused by salt and soda-based solutions.

Case History

MIX Srl recently completed the supply of 4 mixers, each with a capacity of 1.150 liters, for a single production plant in the U.S.. This configuration allows the customer to achieve a production capacity of up to 30 tons per day, meeting the needs of a growing and increasingly competitive market.

The use of innovative technologies like PalaMIX, high-quality materials, and the Extractashaft design, which optimizes operational efficiency, make MIX Srl’s mixers an essential choice for white snus manufacturers. Reliability, precision, and hygiene are at the heart of MIX’s offering, supporting manufacturers in achieving the highest quality standards.
