The rising demand for plant-based cat litter in South America has made tofu litter production a profitable opportunity. On September 20, 2025, an Ecuadorian client contacted YUSHUNXIN to build a full 7,000 tons/year tofu cat litter factory using locally available raw materials. He plans to make high-density strip-type tofu cat litter, suitable for export to Peru, Colombia, and domestic retail chains.
What are the requirements for a 7,000-ton/year tofu cat litter plant?
To clarify the client’s goals for building a tofu cat litter production line in Ecuador, we held a detailed online consultation.
This 7,000 tons/year cat litter processing project adopts a single-shift working system, each shift works 8 hours, and the annual working time is 300 days. Therefore, this project can produce 3-5 tons per hour of kitty litter pellets.
One-stop Solutions for the Tofu Cat Litter Factory in Ecuador:
To meet the client’s production goals and local market standards, so we designed a complete tofu cat litter production line solution. The plan covers raw material handling, granulation, drying, screening, and packaging, ensuring stable output and consistent product quality.
The client purchases bagged tofu fiber, corn flour, starch, and guar gum from local suppliers. Because of truck unloading and warehouse storage, we equipped the plant with a forklift loader and a bucket elevator. It can stream line the feeding process and reduce manual labor.
New type vertical crusher
Then, the raw materials enter a high-efficiency vertical crusher, which quickly grinds tofu residues into fine and uniform particles. Proper particle size helps improve screening results and ensures smooth mixing in the next stage.
Screener for preparing cat litter
Qualified powders fall into an automatic batching machine for precise ingredient dosing. We preset ratios for tofu fiber, starch, corn flour, and guar gum according to the client’s formula. To enhance deodorization and antibacterial performance, the client also adds odor-removal and antimicrobial agents.
cat litter raw material mixing machine
A horizontal mixer blends all ingredients thoroughly. To reduce dust, we added a top dust-proof cover. Before mixing, operators add a small amount of water to increase material viscosity and improve granulation stability.
Flat die granulator
This project uses dry granulation technology. So, mixed materials move by conveyor into a flat die granulator, which forms the tofu cat litter pellets without requiring a separate drying process.
Kitty litter pellets screener
The tofu kitty litter factory uses a closed-type screening machine. Then, pellets separate into finished products, oversized pellets, undersized pellets, and fine powder. The unqualified materials return to the production line for re-processing.
Packaging: Finally, qualified tofu cat litter pellets move to the automatic packaging machine for weighing, sealing, and bagging. This ensures efficient shipment and stable product presentation for the Ecuadorian market.
Why We Recommended the Flat Die Pellet Machine for High-Density Strip Tofu Cat Litter?
For the Ecuador client aiming to produce high-density strip tofu cat litter, we recommended the flat die pellet machine. Because it applies high pressure through steel rollers to produce dense, uniform, and durable strips. The client can easily control the strip length by adjusting the cutter. Additionally, the flat die granulator reduces energy consumption since it does not require high-temperature drying during pelletizing. This solution fully met the client’s product specifications, production goals, and budget. So, it is an ideal choice for their tofu cat litter production line.
How We Delivered and Installed the Full Tofu Cat Litter Manufacturing Line in Ecuador?
YUSHUNXIN shipped the complete 7,000 TPY tofu cat litter production line from Qingdao Port, and the containers arrived at the Port of Guayaquil in 15 days.
- After customs clearance, the client transported the equipment directly to their plant for installation.
- Moreover, to ensure smooth setup, our technical team provided a full set of English manuals, wiring diagrams, and machine labels. At the same time, during the installation stage, our engineer offered remote guidance and step-by-step video tutorials.
- With this support, the client’s team completed the equipment layout, electrical connection, and test runs. Within three days, operators learned to run the 5 tons/hour tofu cat litter factory, achieving stable production
