So, we advocate “customer-based”, customer’s success is our success.
Design Of Bentonite Cat Litter Production Process
Complete cat litter production line includes the following cat litter equipments, from the storage of raw materials to the packaging of the final kitty litter pellets, each section has professional equipment to work.
Usually, the crushers, sand making machines, cat litter pellet making machines, mixers, pulverizers, screening machines, packaging machines and other equipment also need to consider the pellet size, output, and site of the raw materials. etc., and whether there are special quality requirements.
Processing flow of bentonite cat litter manufacturing line:
Pretreatment of bentonite, bentonite cat litter manufacturers can produce bentonite by themselves, or purchase bentonite raw materials.
Place the required raw materials in the mixer for uniform mixing, add additives, flavors, adhesives, etc. and mix again, and mix evenly.
Granulate the mixed raw materials by cat litter machine , and the required size is determined by the kitty litter manufacturers.
The bentonite clay pellets are dried in the cat litter dryer to remove the moisture contained in it, which is convenient for storage. The perfuming process can also be done during drying.
After drying, sieve the finished product. After the finished product is cooled to room temperature, add 0.5% of granular spices and package the finished bentonite clay cat litter product.
Finished cat litter pellets
Note: If cat litter manufacturers process it yourself, air-dry the selected raw materials of bentonite under natural conditions, so that the moisture of the bentonite is controlled at about 10%, add 2.5% of alkali, stir evenly with a loader, and wait for it to age naturally.
After about 5-7 days, use a pulverizer to grind the bentonite into a fine powder of 200 mesh and 90% pass rate. Next, add water and sanitizer to the fine powder.
According to the different cat litter manufacturer’s needs, it may be the particularity of the raw materials or the limitations of the site. Our engineers will redesign the cat litter production line process, and the cat litter production equipment used will be increased or decreased.
Richi Machinery continues to follow the development direction of the industry and customer needs, we optimize the combination of various types of cat litter pellet making equipment to finally meet the customer’s demand for high yield and low consumption of cat litter production, to achieve a win-win situation between customers and us.
The Key Of Using Bentonite Cat Litter Pellet Machine
The key factor to control the granulation process with cat litter making machine is the total content of free water during spheroidization. If the powder particles are mixed with materials that can be combined with the injected liquid during the automatic kitty litter machine granulation process, the calculation should be appropriately increased. amount of liquid. When granulating cat litter by cat litter automatic machine, because the feed contains bentonite, the control of the amount of water added in the granulation must find an optimal point.
- Too much water is added, the kitty litter machine granulation effect is not obvious, the pellet strength is not high, and the bentonite clay granules are not dense;
- Too little water is added, the cat litter automatic machine granulation yield is low, the pellets are easily scattered, and the agglomeration strength is not high.

Supplementary Information Of Bentonite Cat Litter
Bentonite Cat Litter Quality Standard
In bentonite cat litter production line, water absorption, agglomeration shape and agglomeration strength are all parameters that characterize the quality index of bentonite for cat litter. Low water absorption, poor adhesion of cat litter products, not easy to agglomerate; irregular shape of agglomerates, low usage rate; low strength of agglomeration, difficult to clean up with ordinary tools after use, easy to dissolve, and will also affect later use.
If things go on like this, it will cause certain pollution to the environment; the higher the water absorption rate, the better the shape and strength of the agglomeration, and the better the use effect of bentonite clay granules, which is more conducive to the expansion of the bentonite cat litter market.
Richi Machinery is mainly engaged in the R&D and manufacturing of cat litter machine and bentonite cat litter production factory projects using various raw materials, providing technical solutions and supporting products.
Main Raw Materials Of Bentonite Clay Cat Litter
Bentonite cat litter is also called condensed cat litter. It is the most commonly used cat litter. Bentonite is a non-metallic mineral with montmorillonite as the main mineral component. It has a hardness of 1-2 and is relatively loose after processing. The high-quality materials of the raw material have good environmental protection.
01
Bentonite
It is a kind of clay with high plasticity, which is milky white and has strong water absorption and swelling. It can absorb 5 times its own mass of water and can expand to 15 times its original volume. When selecting raw materials, it should be noted that the whiteness should be above 85%.
02
Zeolite
It is a micro-void structure that can be used to separate molecules of various sizes, and is often used as a molecular sieve in industry. In the cat litter production line process, a certain proportion of zeolite is mixed into the bentonite to absorb the odor and suffocation in the pet feces, and play a role in cleaning and sanitation.
03
Binder
It is best to use water as the binder which is economical and does not adversely affect the agglomerates. Because in the preparation process of bentonite clay granules, bentonite has high water absorption and good viscosity.
Which Bentonite Is Suitable For Cat Litter Production Line?
The bentonite used in the production of cat litter has certain selectivity, and not all bentonites are suitable for the production of bentonite clay granules. In everyone’s impression, bentonite is equal to ore sand, which is cheap cat litter. In fact, bentonite is divided into sodium-based bentonite and calcium-based bentonite. The expansion ratio of sodium bentonite is as high as 20 to 30 times, and the expansion ratio of calcium bentonite is only several to ten times.
Sodium-based bentonite has a large water absorption, up to more than 500%, and has a long water absorption time (slow water absorption speed); calcium-based bentonite has a small water absorption, the highest is not more than 200%, and the water absorption speed is block, and it will reach saturation in less than 2 hours.
The price of bentonite cat litter is indeed lower than that of tofu cat litter. After all, bentonite is made from local materials, and the process is relatively simple.
If you want to produce bentonite for cat litter, what should you do?
The production process of bentonite cat litter production line is different from that for pellets and foundry. Since the technical indicators of the raw ore cannot reach the standard of bentonite for cat litter, the bentonite product for cat litter cannot be directly produced from the raw ore.
Currently, bentonite for cat litter is mainly produced through two distinct stages:
- By sodium modification, the number of exchanged cations in bentonite is increased, so that the original soil can be dissolved in water to increase the number of hydrophilic groups, thereby effectively improving its water absorption rate and agglomeration strength;
- Wet granulation by rolling with water to improve the uniformity of pellet size and the mechanical properties of the pellets.
Take root in the market and serve the world. Richi Machinery is committed to providing users with high-quality cat litter equipment and providing multi-faceted technical support. According to the different properties of the cat litter, the configuration and construction plan of the cat litter production line can be customized.
Typical Bentonite Cat Litter Types
Over the years, various new types of mineral-condensed bentonite clay cat litter products have been developed and utilized.
01
The pet bedding soil produced by the mixture of bentonite and attapulgite clay has a significant improvement in water absorption, agglomeration, color, peculiar smell, dust, disintegration time in the air and compressive strength.
02
Using bentonite and zeolite to produce cat litter, with the best ratio of bentonite and zeolite (95:5), the prepared cat litter has good water absorption, deodorization and agglomeration.
03
When using bentonite to process pet cat litter bentonite clay pellets, the addition ratio of modified zeolite (6%) and the addition amount of binder (15mL/ 100g), the processed cat litter products are in terms of ammonia absorption, water absorption rate, water absorption speed, and structure. It has good performance in terms of cluster strength, bulk density and pH value.
04
Using calcium-based bentonite as raw material, sodium modification optimizes the physical and chemical properties of the original soil and the cat litter production line, which not only overcomes the damage caused by chemical reagents to pets, but also provides a good solution to air environment and living environment pollution problems.
05
Based on the preparation of traditional bentonite cat litter, by adding porous material zeolite to enhance the ammonia absorption effect of cat litter, sodium bentonite is used as both an adsorbent and a binder, improving the strength of cat litter particles and reducing dust.
Bentonite Cat Litter Dominates High-End Markets
With the continuous improvement of people’s living standards, people’s demand for pets is also getting higher and higher, and cats, as a common pet, are loved by everyone, so cat litter also came into being. There are many kinds of cat litter pellets and kitty litter companiess, but the cat litter products made of bentonite clay occupy the largest share of the cat litter market.
At present, there are many types of cat litter on the market, including tofu cat litter, crystal cat litter, wood cat litter and paper cat litter. Bentonite cat litter is currently the most commonly used cat litter, with bentonite as the main component, commonly known as agglomerated cat litter, with small white or gray-white pellets. When used, the highly hygroscopic bentonite cat litter product quickly absorbs the moisture in the feces and forms a large hard mass.
When cleaning bentonite cat litter, use a cat litter shovel with a leak hole to scoop out these large and small hard lumps and throw them away. With the consumption of cat litter, it can be replenished, and there is no need to give up the whole pot, and it meets the quality standard of bentonite for cat litter.
Nowadays, in developed countries in Europe and the United States, bentonite litter from the bentonite cat litter production line is the mainstream in the market. Especially in the United States, which is also the most developed market for the cat industry, bentonite cat litter accounts for more than 80% of the market share. At present, plant-based cat litter, which seems to be very popular, actually only has a few percent of the market in the United States.
It is not that there is no plant-based cat litter in the United States. They were also popular for a while decades ago. Cat litter of various plant materials, Corn, wheat, pine, etc. Because the United States is a powerful agricultural country, there are many plant materials that can be used as cat litter, but why can’t plant cat litter occupy the mainstream market in the United States?
Plant Cat Litter Is Not Really Suitable For Cats:
Because those plant materials are not really suitable for making cat litter, this is just to satisfy human beings who are unwilling to waste these plant scraps, so as to make full use of it to make cat litter, because everyone thinks that cat litter is also to be thrown away stuff, so just use these scraps to make it. However, these materials themselves are not suitable for cat litter.
The Disadvantages Of Plant Cat Litter Are:
- First, it does not have the function of agglomeration itself, and it needs to artificially add glue to have the effect of agglomeration.
- Second, these plant materials are prone to mildew and deterioration, and some of them will produce some toxins, and cats are accustomed to using their claws to scrape cat litter and lick their claws after going to the toilet, which will have a negative impact on the cat’s health over time.
- Third, due to the various odors caused by the plant material itself and easy moldy, humans will add fragrances to cat litter in order to cover up these smells. Therefore, many plant cat litter on the market will display various fragrances. It is necessary to know that the cat’s sense of smell itself is better than Humans are thousands of times more sensitive, and the faint fragrance that humans smell is very stimulating to cats. The act of adding fragrance to cat litter is very likely to cause some respiratory problems in cats. Therefore, it can be said that plant-based cat litter is a commodity produced for pure economic benefits from a human perspective, but does not take into account the preferences and health of cats.
The Global Pet Bedding Market With Great Potential
Non-metallic minerals that can be used as pet bedding cat litter include sepiolite, bentonite, diatomite, attapulgite, etc. When countries develop this product, they are combined with local resource conditions, such as:
- Spain is rich in sepiolite, so cat litter is produced with sepiolite as raw material. Spain’s largest sepiolite manufacturer, TOLSA, produces 515,000 tons of sepiolite products annually, of which 353,000 tons of cat litter, accounting for 68.54%.
- More than 70% of the sepiolite in Europe is used as cat litter.
- Denmark is rich in mole-type diatomite, so diatomite is used as cat litter.
- The khaki of the northwest coast of India has a relatively hard bentonite, which is also used as cat litter.
According to reports, developed countries in the West consume hundreds of thousands of tons of pet bedding soil every year. In recent years, with the improvement of people’s living standards around the world, urban dwellings have been turned into high-rise buildings and gardens, and more and more padding soil is used for domestic pets. Pad soil is also used.
It can be seen that the market potential of pet bedding soil will become larger and larger. So starting cat litter production line is very promising.
