In the field of pet cats care, high quality cat litter is very important. Because it can keep the home clean and provide a comfortable living environment for pets. Granulating cat litter is the key part in the process of producing cat litter. And it not only influences the absorption of cat litter, the ability of reduce odors, but also affects the environment properties of the product and the experience. Cat litter production line is becoming more efficient and environmentally friendly, providing more high-quality options for cat owners.

How do you produce cat litter?

With the development of the pet industry, the demand for cat sand products continues to grow. That promotes the innovation of cat litter technology and production process. The production of cat litter involves several parts, including raw materials’ selection, handing, mixing with additives, granulating and packaging. The following is the basic production process cat litter for your reference.

Choosing suitable raw materials according to different type of cat litters. And the raw materials usually contain bentonite, diatomaceous earth, wood chips, bean curd residue, pulp. And most of them have a strong water absorption ability and deodorization ability.

Pretreatment is a key procedure in the process of cat sand production and that can guarantee the quality property of cat litter. And it contains the 2 steps of crushing and screening.

Firstly, you need to use a fertilizer crushing machine, such a new type vertical crusher or a cage crushing machine to crush materials into small size. This would be beneficial to speed up the subsequent process.

After crushing, belt conveyor will transport fertilizer into a fertilizer screener machine to sift different sizes particles. Larger particles are retained on the screen, while smaller particles fall through the screen to ensure consistency of particles. And in the process of screening, the screening machine can help you remove substandard impurities, like stones, metal pieces or other foreign bodies. This is helpful to ensure the purity of raw materials and guarantee the basic quality of the litter with this step.

After sifting standard particles, then you can use a fertilizer mixing machine to mix the materials and additives. You can add additives such as activated carbon, spices, and antibacterial agents that can enhance the ability of cat litter.

After mixing the materials with additives, belt conveyor will transport them into a granulation machine. You can choose a rotary drum granulation plant, a double roller extrusion granulator, or a disc pelletizing. During granulation, you can control the parameter to produce cat sand you want.

After granulating, the cat litter will be conveyed into a drying machine to reduce the extra moisture content. This is helpful to produce high quality cat sand. And then, kitty litter will transported into a cooling machine, which can help to maintain the nutrients of cat litter. And the last step of cat litter production line is packaging. After finishing the whole production process, you can use an automatic packing machine to pack cat litter into equal parts.

This is the basic production process of cat litter, you can optimize the production process based on your needs.

Which machine can you choose for cat litter production?

Granulation in the key step of cat litter production, therefore, choosing a suitable pelletizing machine is very important for you. The following is the granulating machine you can use to produce cat sand.

The double roller extrusion granulator adopts the dry granulation and extrudes the material into long strips, which are cut into the desired particle size by a cutting machine. And that can produce various shapes of cat litter by changing the molds. It’s suitable for both large and small cat litter production. And it can produce cat litter much quicker because there is no need to dry and cool after granulation. Therefore, rolling extruding granulator is very suitable those who want to produce cat litter with not too much budget.

Pan pelletizing adopts wet granulation method that you can add additives during granulation. And you can control the size of product by adjusting the angel. It’s suitable for small and middle size cat litter production. What’s more, the whole granulation process is very smooth that can guarantee the quality of products. It an ideal granulating machine for small scale cat litter production.

This kind of production line is more automatic than small scale. And the whole production line is fully automatic that there is no need manual operations. Although, it costs you much buying such a cat litter production line, it can bring you many benefits. On the one hand, it can save you a lot labor cost. On the other hand, it can improve the working efficiency for you.

The price we mentioned just for your reference. When you consider buying a production line for cat line, please contact with us. We will provide you with the most suitable production line.

How long does it cost to produce cat manure?

The production time of cat litter depends on a number of factors, including the method, the scale of production and the degree of automation. A typical medium-size cat litter line may require several hours in one production cycle. For example, from preparing of raw materials to packing the final product, it can take about 4-6 hours. A more automated production line can complete these steps more quickly, while manual or small-scale production can take longer. Therefore, the specific production time will vary depending on the operating process and technical capabilities of the manufacturer.
