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.
