This allows for high purity, excellent clumping properties and high economic efficiency in the production of cat litter. Therefore, we pay special attention to careful control of the production process of bentonite cat litter. How can we help you create high quality bentonite cat litter?, using scientific methods and strict process control?
Pre-treatment of raw materials for bentonite cat litter.
- Pre -processing of raw materials: natural Bentonite ore sodium based feed into jaw crusher for coarse crushing. It is then ground into a fine powder of particle size 200-300 using Raymond mill. At the same time, a vibrating sieve is used to remove impurities, ensuring the purity of raw materials more 98%. This lays the foundation for subsequent granulation.
- Mixing and Stirring: Bentonite powder and auxiliary materials are proportionally added to the twin-shaft mixer, such as sawdust, cellulose and fragrance, according to the selected recipe. Add required amount of water as binder. Mix for 10–15 minutes until a homogeneous free-flowing mass is obtained.. Humidity should be controlled within the range 18% to 22%.
Granulation Process of Bentonite Cat Litter.
- Granulation and molding: The mixed material is fed into a disc granulator or rotary drum granulator. Granulation is carried out by rotating the equipment. The particle diameter can be adjusted ranging from 2 to 5 mm. During the granulation process, it is necessary to control the compactness of particles in real time, to avoid the appearance of loose particles.
- Drying and dehydration: The formed granules enter the drum dryer. Drying is carried out by circulating hot air. Drying temperature should be 120–150 °C, and time – 20–30 minutes. Reduce the moisture content of the pellets to less than 10%, to ensure stable moisture absorption and clumping properties of cat litter.
Post-processing of bentonite cat litter granules.
- Sifting and sorting: The granules are screened on a drum screen to separate low-quality fine powder and large particles. Fine powder can be returned to the mixer for reuse. Large particles are crushed and re-granulated. Pellets, relevant to the requirements, move to the next stage, ensuring efficient use of resources. Reducing production costs.
- Packaging and warehousing: High-quality cat litter is packaged in 2 kg, 5 kg and 10 kg by automatic packing machine. Equipped with weighing and detection system to ensure accurate measurements. After packaging, store in dry, well ventilated area, to prevent moisture absorption and deterioration.
