A snus packing machine line is a highly specialized system designed to automate the production and packaging of portioned snus tobacco. The line integrates multiple machines working in synchronization to ensure precision, hygiene, and high-volume output. A typical modern line includes a snus sachet packing machine, snus box counting filling machine, capping machine, labeling machine, and shrink wrapping machine.
The process begins with the snus sachet packing machine, which forms small pouches (also known as sachets) from a continuous roll of nonwoven fabric. It fills each pouch with a precisely measured portion of snus and seals it to preserve freshness. These machines are engineered for high-speed operation and are capable of producing 30-45 sachets per minute. Accuracy and consistency are essential to maintain product quality and meet regulatory standards.
Next, the filled sachets are collected and transferred to the box filling machine. This unit is responsible for counting a specific number of sachets and placing them into preformed snus cans or boxes. Efficient sorting and handling mechanisms ensure minimal waste and prevent damage to the delicate pouches during the filling process.
Once the boxes or cans are filled, they move to the capping machine, where lids are applied and sealed securely. This step is crucial for maintaining the product’s shelf life and ensuring compliance with packaging regulations. Some capping machines also offer tamper-evident sealing options, enhancing safety and consumer trust.
Following capping, the products enter the labeling machine, which applies branding and regulatory labels to the containers. This includes top, side, and bottom labels as required. Modern labeling systems use sensors and vision systems to ensure correct placement and alignment of each label, even at high speeds.
Finally, the finished products are sent through the shrink wrapping machine. This unit wraps groups of snus boxes in a protective plastic film and applies heat to shrink the film tightly around the products. Shrink wrapping not only improves shelf appeal and protects against contamination but also makes bulk handling and transport more efficient.
