Tofu Cat Litter Plant Setup in South Korea

RICHI MACHINERY

Use the Building to Separate Powder and Packing

The Tofu Cat Litter Plant Setup in South Korea uses 2,000 m² of covered space within the customer’s industrial premises. The project area is allocated inside the existing building; external access and loading are provided by the wider property and reviewed with the local site team.

Building function	Area	Purpose
Main production and machine access	850 m²	Mixing, forming and drying
Dried-ingredient storage	350 m²	Fibre, starch and binder lots
Retail packing	350 m²	Filling, sealing and checks
Released product	250 m²	Cartons and short pallet reserve
Quality, office and staff functions	100 m²	Batch control and personnel facilities
Utilities and maintenance	100 m²	Services, tools and spares
Total covered allocation	2,000 m²	Existing-building project basis

The tofu cat litter production line in South Korea moves from a powder-handling side towards a separate packing side. This arrangement helps keep loose ingredient dust away from open retail bags and seal surfaces. Personnel and maintenance routes are included alongside the material flow.

Working stocks are planned around supplier appointments and retail dispatch. A raw-stock ceiling of about 80 tonnes and a finished-stock ceiling of about 60 tonnes are used for layout development, subject to actual bulk density, pallet format and local requirements. Clear aisles remain part of those limits.

Make the Shift Useful for Several Retail Orders

The customer for the Tofu Cat Litter Plant Setup in South Korea distributes pet products and wants a defined local production programme. Its orders can share one product recipe while differing in bag size, carton quantity and label version. Production planning therefore groups similar packs into manageable campaigns.

The operating basis is eight net production hours per day across 250 days. Preparation, inspection, cleaning and scheduled pack changes are organised around that net window through the customer’s working arrangements. A shift handover identifies released ingredients, the active recipe and finished orders waiting for collection.

For a cat litter factory in South Korea, the advantage of this arrangement is visibility. The customer can match the next retail order with available production time and packaging stock before it commits a dispatch date. Finished goods carry a defined product and batch reference.

Count Finished Tonnes after Drying

The Tofu Cat Litter Plant Setup in South Korea is rated on finished litter, not the wetter granules leaving the forming machine. At 3 t/h, eight net hours give 24 tonnes per day. Over 250 days, the planned released output is 6,000 tonnes.

Production item	Design basis
Finished litter	3 t/h
Daily finished programme	24 tonnes
Annual finished programme	6,000 tonnes
Standard granule diameter	2 mm
Working length target	3–9 mm
Wet-granule moisture basis	20%
Finished moisture basis	About 9%

The wet route handles approximately 3.4 t/h to deliver that dry output. Dryer selection therefore follows the water to be removed, while the screen and packing line follow the finished rate. Clean internal returns are tracked separately from the product released for sale.

The Tofu Cat Litter Plant Setup in South Korea uses this same basis in its acceptance run. The customer can compare the wet feed, dryer output, screen returns and packed weight from one defined production period.

Contract for Dried Fibre with a Known Grade

The recipe-development basis uses dried tofu-processing fibre as its main structural ingredient. Korean tofu processors provide a credible supply channel for soybean by-products, while beans and other agricultural ingredients may also enter their supply chains through imports. The customer’s purchasing specification concerns the dried fibre delivered to this factory.

Accepted ingredient batch	Quantity per 1,000 kg	Control point
Dried soybean fibre	550 kg	Moisture, odour and fibre distribution
Starch	300 kg	Binder grade and forming response
Corn flour	120 kg	Particle distribution and consistency
Guar gum	30 kg	Accurate low-volume dosing
Total ingredients	1,000 kg	Water addition recorded separately

For the Tofu Cat Litter Plant Setup in South Korea, the planning moisture of the accepted blend is 12%. Producing 6,000 tonnes at 9% finished moisture requires approximately 6,205 tonnes of accepted ingredients before the separate procurement allowance for unsuitable material. About 3,413 tonnes of that accepted blend is dried soybean fibre at the example inclusion.

The tofu litter manufacturing plant in South Korea receives fibre already meeting its dry-ingredient specification. Supplier-side dewatering and drying of fresh tofu residue remain a separate operation. The line’s belt dryer is sized for formed granules and their measured water load.

Develop Performance from the Ingredient Roles

The soybean fibre in the Tofu Cat Litter Plant Setup in South Korea contributes the absorbent structure and affects bulk density. Its particle and fibre distribution also influence how a 2 mm die fills. Large or stringy fibres are controlled before mixing, with preparation matched to the qualified supplier grade.

Starch contributes binding during formation and the finished product’s response to water. Its grade is therefore part of the recipe specification. The quality team evaluates a supplier change through mixing, forming and clump tests, rather than treating all starch products as interchangeable.

Corn flour contributes body and consistency to the granule. Guar gum is weighed through an appropriate smaller-scale system and dispersed before water addition. That sequence helps avoid local binder concentrations that can affect feeding or create uneven wet granules.

The Tofu Cat Litter Plant Setup in South Korea develops the recipe against the intended use test: absorption, clump lifting, breakage and dust after handling. Results are linked to a defined water quantity and test method. The manufacturer can then use the same procedure when releasing later production lots.

For soybean cat litter production in South Korea, a sample shown to a distributor should represent the packed product. The development programme therefore includes representative bag handling and storage checks, keeping product performance connected to the route through which customers will buy it.

Water and Heat on the Same Calculation

At the planning moisture, one tonne of finished litter at 9% contains 910 kg of dry matter. The accepted ingredient requirement is approximately 1,034 kg at 12% moisture. Adding about 103 kg of water brings the forming mixture to roughly 1,137 kg at 20% moisture.

For the 3 t/h Tofu Cat Litter Plant Setup in South Korea, the dryer must remove approximately 410 kg of water per hour. The equipment is specified with at least 500 kg/h evaporation capacity and a thermal input allowance of about 800 kW. The final temperature profile is developed using the agreed recipe and bed loading.

Annual process-water planning is approximately 620 m³. Staff facilities and controlled cleaning add about 240 m³, bringing the annual provision to roughly 860 m³. Moisture readings guide actual dosing, so an ingredient lot arriving drier or wetter changes the added-water quantity.

The machinery electrical basis is approximately 260 kW connected load on a 380 V, 60 Hz, three-phase system. Annual electricity planning is 400,000 kWh for the finished-product programme. Across 2,000 net production hours, the average load is approximately 200 kW, with dryer heat recorded separately.

A Single Former with a Complete Finishing Route

The Tofu Cat Litter Plant Setup in South Korea uses one forming machine for the specified wet duty, with a 110 kW main-drive basis. The die and cutter are selected for the 2 mm product. The supplier’s material trial establishes the working feed window and required output for the chosen recipe.

Machine section	Arrangement	Selection basis
Ingredient preparation	Screening and metered feeds	Consistent dried-fibre and powder condition
Mixing	One 1-tonne paddle mixer	Complete wet-batch cycle within 12 minutes
Forming	One matched granulator	About 3.4 t/h wet route
Drying	One controlled belt dryer	At least 500 kg/h water-removal duty
Cooling	One active cooling section	Stable product before classification
Screening	One product screen	Controlled granule and fines fractions
Retail packing	One filling and sealing line	At least 25 bags/minute at 2.5 kg

The cat litter making machine selection includes buffer geometry and discharge control. A steady feed helps the former maintain useful product dimensions without repeatedly changing settings to compensate for a bridging hopper. Short, suitable transfers protect wet granules on the way to the dryer.

The operator scales the ingredient proportions to the mixer’s allowable wet fill, including the measured water addition. Batch instructions state that working weight clearly. This keeps recipe quantities, mixer capacity and the feed sent to the former on the same basis.

The cat litter pellet machine is selected as a dedicated litter duty rather than given a livestock-feed capacity rating. Its acceptance basis includes the actual recipe, granule diameter, water addition and saleable dried yield. That gives the customer a useful specification for the working product.

The Tofu Cat Litter Plant Setup in South Korea uses 2.5 kg and 5 kg bags. At 25 bags per minute in the smaller format, nominal filling capacity is 3.75 t/h. Checkweighing, seal integrity and carton handling are included when confirming packing performance at the required finished rate.

Trace One Batch from Fibre to Carton

The customer can follow each production batch through a defined sequence. Ingredient release, water addition, forming condition and packing records remain connected, helping the factory investigate product variation using a specific lot and operating setup.

Accept and prepare the ingredients

The team checks supplier references, moisture and visible condition before release. Appropriate screens remove oversized material, with magnetic protection at the selected points. Fibre preparation is assessed for the small-diameter die, including long pieces that can affect stable feeding.

Build the mixture in a controlled order

Major ingredients and binder enter the mixer at the approved quantities. Dry blending distributes the low-inclusion material before controlled water addition. The operator records the actual water used, linking it to the raw-material moisture and the batch’s forming behaviour.

Form the selected two-millimetre product

The former works against the qualified feed condition. Cutter settings establish the intended length range, while current and product appearance help operators detect an uneven feed or changing material. Granules move to the dryer through transfers selected to limit damage while wet.

Dry, then remove the remaining heat

The mesh belt dryer develops the product towards its 9% moisture basis. Air-temperature trials use a controlled zone profile, with belt speed and bed depth adjusted together. Samples check the granule through its depth before the cooled product is released to the screen.

Classify and seal the retail lot

The screen separates the agreed size fraction. Suitable clean returns are controlled within the batch system. Released granules are weighed, filled and sealed, with bag coding and carton references linked to production. The packing team checks seal surfaces and product temperature throughout the run.

The Tofu Cat Litter Plant Setup in South Korea keeps room-air conditions under observation around cooling and packing. Product moisture and bag performance are checked after representative storage, giving the customer information relevant to the finished retail order.

Prepare Delivery for the Existing Property

Equipment transport for the Tofu Cat Litter Plant Setup in South Korea can use Busan as a sea-freight gateway, with onward delivery arranged for the customer’s industrial premises. Package dimensions, weights and lifting points determine the unloading plan and the local handling equipment needed.

The customer receives packing references tied to the machinery layout. The dryer, former and packing assemblies are positioned in a sequence that leaves access for installation work. Heat, ventilation, electrical and compressed-air connections follow the agreed interface drawings.

The supplier and local team review service clearances before completing the surrounding platforms and ducts. This helps preserve access for belt inspection, die work and packing maintenance when the line enters routine operation.

Approve the Product and the Packing Together

Commissioning for the Tofu Cat Litter Plant Setup in South Korea starts with scale checks, interlocks and empty-machine operation. Material trials then use the agreed dry-fibre recipe and selected bag. The customer assesses the full route from batch preparation to a coded carton.

Acceptance records include net production time, wet flow, evaporation duty, moisture variation, screened yield, electricity and packing speed. Product tests assess clump behaviour and handling dust using the approved method. A retained sample identifies the product made under those conditions.

The equipment budget is USD 175,000 and the total installed project budget is USD 270,000. The defined scope covers the single forming route, drying, cooling, screening, retail packing, extraction and controls, with the specified delivery, installation and adaptation of the existing premises included in the total.

Tofu cat litter plant cost in South Korea is evaluated against the accepted dry-ingredient route and retail specification. The customer can compare proposals using the same finished-product rate, water-removal duty and pack formats, keeping the investment review tied to the actual manufacturing job.

Give Every Order a Named Owner

The Tofu Cat Litter Plant Setup in South Korea has a 16-person staffing basis: eight production operators, three packing and warehouse staff, two maintenance staff, one quality role and two planning or administrative roles. Duties include relief coverage and defined responsibility for releasing ingredients and finished goods.

The production team records the active recipe and equipment condition. The quality role controls test results and held lots, while packing confirms the correct film, label and carton. Dispatch checks the released stock against the retail order before collection.

The distributor can assign Korean-language artwork to each approved pack size and retain a signed packing sample. Carton references connect that artwork with the product lot, making a retail relabel or format change easier to schedule. This also gives the customer a clear response when an order requires the same litter in a different presentation.

For a private label cat litter plant in South Korea, those responsibilities help the distributor maintain a consistent offer as orders change. RICHI provides instruction on the machinery controls, inspection points and routine servicing needed to support the agreed product programme.
