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.

Bentonite Cat Litter Production Line

Bentonite cat litter production involves several key steps. First, bentonite clay is mined and crushed using a jaw crusher. The crushed clay is then dried in a rotary dryer to reduce moisture content to less than 10%. A grinding mill processes the dried clay into a fine powder, which is then granulated into uniform particles using a disc granulator. The granules are screened to ensure size consistency and finally packaged using an automatic bagging machine. This line efficiently produces clumping cat litter known for its superior absorption and odor control properties.

Tofu Residue Cat Litter Production Plant

Tofu residue cat litter production starts with shredding the tofu byproduct using a high-speed shredder. The shredded material is dehydrated with a screw press to lower moisture levels from 80% to about 50%. It is then mixed with additives in a horizontal mixer. A pellet mill compresses the mixture into pellets, which are dried further in a conveyor belt dryer to achieve optimal moisture content. The pellets are screened for uniformity and packaged with an automatic packaging machine. This eco-friendly litter offers excellent absorption and biodegradability, catering to environmentally conscious consumers.

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.

Core Machines in the Cat Litter Manufacturing Process

Based on the above steps, a standard cat litter production line includes several key machines.

  • First, a raw material crusher breaks large lumps into uniform particles.

  • Then, a mixing machine blends additives such as deodorants or binders. For pellet shaping, we offer disc granulators, drum pelletizers, or twin-roller press granulators depending on the litter type.

  • Drying is performed by rotary dryers or air-drying systems, followed by vibrating screeners for size control.

  • Finally, automatic packaging machines measure, bag, and seal the finished pellets.

  • Optional systems like dust collectors and odor scrubbers help meet environmental standards.
