Snus & tobacco

Viggo Hansen A/S has many years of experience in the dosing of snus powder and snus tobacco.​

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

Lifting column
​- for loading

The Viggo Hansen A/S Lifting column is specifically designed to optimize the filling of the pre-feeder, ensuring a smooth and efficient production process.

Built from high-quality stainless steel, the column is durable, hygienic, and easy to maintain, making it ideal for demanding food and tobacco processing environments.

The system is engineered to tilt Vemag trolleys and plastic containers directly into the feed hopper, reducing manual handling and improving operator ergonomics. By minimizing heavy lifting, it not only enhances workplace safety but also contributes to a more consistent and reliable material flow. To meet the diverse needs of manufacturers, the Lifting column can be delivered in customized configurations, tailored to your specific production setup and requirements. This adaptability ensures seamless integration into existing lines while supporting long-term efficiency and performance.

Cabinet for
​safe feeding

To minimize dust dispersion during powder loading operations, Viggo Hansen A/S has developed an innovative dust enclosure. The enclosure is designed with double doors at both ends, allowing easy access for carts and pre-feeders while maintaining a controlled environment. 

It is fully prepared for integration with ventilation systems, ensuring effective extraction of airborne particles and a significant improvement in indoor air quality. Additionally, the enclosure is equipped with door switches that enhance operational safety by preventing unintended use. 

This solution not only supports a healthier working environment by reducing dust exposure, but also improves overall workflow efficiency and compliance with occupational safety standards.

Viggo Hansen A/S has a team of highly trained personnel specialized in servicing a wide range of machinery. Our staff is continuously educated and certified to ensure reliable maintenance and professional support, enabling us to deliver high-quality service solutions tailored to our customers’ needs.

Vibrating Screen

The Viggo Hansen A/S Vibrating Screen is engineered to efficiently separate lumps from flowing powder. 

Oversized particles are automatically discharged at the end of the screen and collected in a container for easy handling. 

The screen can be quickly adjusted to different mesh sizes, ensuring optimal performance tailored to your specific product requirements.

Screening system

The Viggo Hansen Screening System is developed to handle flowing powder efficiently by preventing blockages and ensuring a consistent material flow, so that the powder is ready for the further process.

The feeder is equipped with a hopper which size allows a fully loaded Vemag trolley to be emptied directly into the hopper, enabling continuous operation with minimal supervision. 

This turnkey solution is delivered with lifting equipment, a buffer hopper with dosing functionality, and an integrated vibrating screen for reliable performance.

Vacuum Pre-feeder

The Vacuum Pre-Feeder is designed to supply powder to the vacuum conveyors with a steady and reliable product flow. 

Manufactured in food-grade stainless steel, it meets strict hygiene standards and is ready for direct integration into food production environments. 

The unit can also operate as a stand-alone machine, for example feeding directly into a MERZ packaging system. 

The shown pre-feeder is the base model and forms the foundation for a wide range of applications. Its adaptable design makes it suitable for all types of powder materials, ensuring precise dosing and consistent feeding for optimal process performance.

Smart feeding system

With decades of experience in dosing snus powder and tobacco, Viggo Hansen A/S has developed a state-of-the-art smart feeding system designed to meet the strict demands of the snus industry. 

The system is engineered with focus on hygiene, recognizing that frequent changes in flavor variants require thorough cleaning to prevent crosscontamination and ensure consistent product quality. 

This innovative feeding system is fully compatible with MERZ and other systems packaging machines, providing seamless integration into existing production setups. 

Its design emphasizes flexibility, allowing operators to quickly switch between product variants with minimal downtime.

Furthermore, the system can be customized to meet specific production requirements, ensuring it perfectly fits the unique needs of each manufacturer. In addition to hygiene and adaptability, the system is optimized for operational efficiency.​

Viggo Hansen A/S presents an advanced smart feeding system for snus powder, designed for modern production environments.

It ensures higher uptime and a smoother production process, supporting consistent quality while minimizing operational challenges.

Ergonomic features simplify handling and maintenance, while the space-efficient layout ensures production areas are utilized effectively. The result is a stable, reliable, and highperforming production flow that maximizes uptime and supports consistent, high-quality output.

By combining hygiene, flexibility, and customizable design, Viggo Hansen A/S’ Smart feeding system sets a new standard for snus powder production, enabling manufacturers to deliver safe, high-quality products tailored to their operational needs.
