New Nicotine Pouches: As an important product category within smokeless tobacco, using new nicotine pouches reduces the harmful substances produced by pyrolysis during tobacco combustion. These pouches can be used in places where smoking is prohibited, such as indoors or on airplanes, satisfying consumers’ physiological need for nicotine intake.
Common Types of New Nicotine Pouches: Generally composed of a mixture of granules or powder, these pouches are categorized based on their moisture content into three types: dry, semi-dry, and wet.
The dry type, represented by ZYN, has a moisture content of less than 3%.
The semi-dry type, represented by FEATX, has a moisture content ranging between 3% and 8%.
The wet type, represented by VELO, can be further subdivided into low-moisture products (with moisture content between 8% and 10%), medium-moisture products (with moisture content between 8% and 20%), and high-moisture products (with moisture content above 20%).
Process Flow of New Nicotine Pouches
Granulation → Automatic Box Sorting → Bag Making → Counting and Filling → Box Sorting → Capping → Labeling → Heat Shrink Packaging → Collection
1, Granulation:
The process involves mixing powders, flavors, nicotine liquid, and aqueous solutions with a binder. These materials are subjected to circular, radial, and axial movements in a modified mixer, ensuring thorough mixing. The mixture is then cut by a granulation cutter into uniformly dense spherical granules.
2, Bag Making
A feeder delivers the powder to the hopper above the packaging machine. The sealing speed is controlled by a photoelectric positioning device. The roll of sealing paper (non-woven fabric) is driven by guide rollers into the collar former, where it is folded and then longitudinally sealed to form a flat shape. After automatic metering, the material is filled into the formed bags. The horizontal sealer performs heat sealing or ultrasonic cutting while intermittently pulling the bag tube downward. This results in a flat bag with overlapping longitudinal seams and three-sided sealing, completing the sealing of one bag. A PLC automatic control system ensures precise measurement, filling, and sealing operations.
3, Dispensing
The bags are dispensed into boxes according to requirements. The boxes are typically of several types, with the most common being 7cm diameter PP boxes. The usual configurations are 15 pouches per box (cans), 16 pouches per box (cans), 18 pouches per box (cans), and 20 pouches per box (cans).
4, Labeling
Different brands use different labels. For round boxes, labels are typically applied on three sides: the front, back, and side.
5, Shrink Wrapping
Different brands have varying requirements, typically with 5 boxes per container or 10 boxes per container.
