Mixing, Flavorizing, and Drying White Snus: How PerMix Leads the Way
As the global demand for smokeless nicotine alternatives grows, white snus—also known as all-white nicotine pouches—has emerged as a top product category. Designed to offer nicotine without the tobacco leaf, these discreet, spit-free pouches are growing in popularity across Europe and North America. However, manufacturing white snus requires precision in blending, flavorizing, and drying, and this is where PerMix delivers unmatched solutions.
What is White Snus?
White snus is a tobacco-free, plant-fiber-based pouch infused with nicotine and flavorings. Unlike traditional snus, which uses moist ground tobacco, white snus is made using pharmaceutical-grade cellulose or similar carriers, which are hydrated, mixed with flavorants and nicotine, then dried to exact moisture levels and filled into pouches.
Key characteristics include:
Tobacco-free formulation
Discreet use with minimal drip
Infused with flavors (mint, citrus, coffee, etc.)
Made with plant fibers and food-grade additives
Requires strict control over moisture, homogeneity, and nicotine distribution
Challenges in Manufacturing White Snus
Producing high-quality white snus presents several technical challenges:
Uniform Mixing of nicotine, flavors, and carriers without hot spots
Controlled Drying to achieve target moisture levels without degrading nicotine or aroma
Flavor Retention during processing
Consistent Texture to ensure smooth pouching and mouthfeel
Batch-to-Batch Consistency in a highly regulated market
Any inconsistency can lead to product rejection or poor consumer experience.
How PerMix Solves the Problem
PerMix specializes in advanced mixing, blending, and drying systems specifically engineered for the sensitive needs of white snus production. Our pharmaceutical-grade mixers and vacuum dryers deliver precise results in both pilot and large-scale production environments.
✅ Mixing & Flavorizing
PerMix Paddle, Plow, and Ribbon Mixers ensure complete dispersion of nicotine and flavors across plant fiber carriers with low shear to preserve texture.
High-speed choppers can be integrated to break clumps or enhance dispersion if needed.
Spray atomizing nozzles allow for accurate liquid addition, including nicotine solutions and flavorants.
✅ Drying Solutions
Our Vacuum Mixers & Dryers (e.g., ribbon or paddle vacuum dryers) gently remove moisture without overheating, preserving nicotine stability and flavor integrity.
Closed system options maintain hygiene and prevent cross-contamination.
Moisture sensors and PLC controls allow automated precision drying to target moisture specs.
✅ Sanitary, GMP-Compliant Construction
PerMix mixers are available in 316L stainless steel and pharma-grade finishes, fully compliant with GMP, FDA, and cGMP standards.
Designed for easy clean-out, optional wet or dry CIP systems, and hygienic seals to meet cleanroom requirements.
