Today, Viggo Hansen A/S has become an important player in the general snus market. Many of the leading producers of snus have our dosing equipment in operation.

Viggo Hansen A/S has developed a dosing line for snus powder, with a particular focus on equipment cleaning.

This focus on cleaning is no coincidence—since the snus industry frequently changes flavor variants, thorough cleaning is essential to avoid cross-contamination in the products.

The system has been developed to feed both MERZ and GD packaging machines.

The newly developed dosing line offers the following optimized features:

Easy changeover between product variants
Ergonomic design
Space-optimized construction
Easy cleaning
Increased uptime on the production line
More stable production – improved production flow

Dust enclosure

To reduce dust dispersion during lifting operations, we have developed an efficient dust enclosure.

This design makes it easy to move both trolleys and pre-feeders through the double doors at each end, ensuring a flexible and practical workflow.

The dust enclosure is prepared for ventilation and equipped with door switches, guaranteeing safe and controlled operation.

As a result, it contributes not only to a more efficient process but also to a healthier indoor environment for employees.

Vibrating Screen

Viggo Hansen’s vibrating screen is designed to efficiently separate lumps from free-flowing powder, ensuring consistent and high product quality.

The separated lumps are automatically transported out of the end and collected in a container. From there, they can easily be fed through the screen again, reducing waste and creating a more sustainable and efficient process.

The screen can be quickly and easily adjusted to match your product and specific production requirements.

Lifting column
- for loading

This lift is designed for the efficient and safe filling of pre-feeders. Constructed from stainless steel, it can be customized to suit a variety of applications and meet your specific requirements. The lift is engineered to tilt both Vemag trolleys and plastic containers into the feed hopper in a safe, ergonomic, and efficient manner.

We also provide full service and statutory inspections, ensuring that your lift remains in optimal operating condition at all times.

Vacuum Pre-feeder

This pre-feeder is specifically designed to supply vacuum conveyors efficiently and reliably. It is made from food-grade stainless steel, allowing direct integration into your food production process without any additional modifications.

The pre-feeder can also be used as a standalone unit, feeding directly into, for example, a MERZ packer – a flexible solution that can be adapted to meet your specific requirements.

Screening system

Viggo Hansen’s screening system is designed to handle free-flowing powder efficiently by preventing blockages and ensuring a consistent material flow, so the powder is always ready for the next stage of the process.

The system is equipped with a hopper large enough to allow a fully loaded Vemag trolley to be emptied directly into it, enabling continuous production with minimal supervision.

This turnkey solution comes complete with lifting equipment, a buffer hopper with dosing functionality, and an integrated vibrating screen, ensuring stable and efficient operation.

Standard filling solution

Viggo Hansen A/S offers a standard filling solution, designed for use with a 2-head MERZ packer.

The machine is made from high-quality, food-grade stainless steel and optimized to fit perfectly with the MERZ packer.

For safe operation, the machine is equipped with both a durable polycarbonate safety cover and a stainless-steel mesh cover, each of which can be opened individually. The mesh cover also features a safety switch that automatically stops both the agitator and the screw, ensuring operator safety and reliable performance.

CIP-system

Viggo Hansen A/S provides complete CIP solutions, enabling our customers to optimize their process operations and save both time and resources.

We work in close collaboration with a strong network of specialists to ensure that each system is fully implemented, reliable, and tailored to the customer’s specific requirements, providing efficient and dependable cleaning of pipes and process equipment.

Pipe drying tool

Viggo Hansen A/S has developed a unique, completely new tool for drying pipes, specifically designed to dry piping systems after the CIP process.

Since snus powder is highly sensitive to even small changes in moisture, it is crucial that vacuum pipes are completely dry before production restarts. Our innovative solution not only ensures thorough drying but also significantly reduces drying time, resulting in a more stable, efficient, and reliable production process.

In addition, the tool operates quietly, creating a more comfortable and safe working environment for employees.

Filter drying system

Viggo Hansen A/S has developed a specially designed drying cabinet for filters from vacuum conveyors. The cabinet operates in a moisture-controlled, closed environment, ensuring that the filters dry quickly, accurately, and reliably without the risk of moisture exposure.

Traditional methods, such as hanging filters on racks, often result in long drying times and the need for multiple sets of filters. With our cabinet, drying time is minimized while maintaining high-quality and stable production.

Vacuum pipestring

Vacuum conveyor technology allows the pre-feeder loading point to be positioned further away from the packing line, providing greater flexibility in the production layout.

At Viggo Hansen A/S, we design and build complete piping systems in food-grade stainless steel. All pipes and bends are manufactured with large radii to ensure smooth, uninterrupted powder flow from the pre-feeder to the vacuum conveyor.

Our premium solution includes two pipes for each conveyor – one in operation and one for cleaning. This setup maximizes production uptime and ensures consistent, reliable performance.

Smart feeding system

This Smart Feeding System has been developed to meet the high standards of the snus industry. The system ensures excellent hygiene, easy cleaning, and quick product changeovers without unnecessary downtime.

It is fully compatible with MERZ and other packaging machines and can be tailored to your specific production requirements. Its space-efficient and ergonomic design makes it easy to operate and maintain, while maximizing uptime and maintaining a stable production flow.

The result is an efficient, flexible, and reliable solution that helps you deliver snus products of consistent, high quality.
