The market demand for cat litter in European countries is very large. Common cat litters include "bentonite cat litter", "tofu litter", "crystal litter", "paper cat litter" and "pine cat litter". These cat litters have their own advantages and disadvantages. Combining performance and price considerations, bentonite cat litter is the most cost-effective on the market. Today, let’s talk about the production of bentonite cat litter.
The main raw material of the existing cat litter is bentonite. Bentonite is a mineral product that is mined and produced by specialized manufacturers and used in metallurgy, building materials, petroleum exploration and other industries. Bentonite is used to make cat litter mainly by its water absorption, swelling and coagulability. According to these properties, cat litter can be produced using the following processes and procedures.
Add water to the bentonite, stir it into a mud with a stirring device, use a granulation device to make strip particles, dry them with a drying device, and then crush them into irregular particles with a crushing device, remove powder by a screening device, and finally package the finished product.
Bentonite cat litter processing equipment
The main component of bentonite is montmorillonite, which is a non-metallic mineral. It has strong adsorption to various gases, liquids, and organic substances, and has diversified colors. After processing, the bentonite is relatively loose and is the best material for making cat litter. It is environmentally friendly. The cat litter processed by bentonite has a wide range of sales and has a certain share in the market. What are the processing equipment for bentonite cat litter?
Commonly used equipment for processing cat litter with bentonite includes jaw crushers, cone crushers, hammer crushers, and sand making machines.
1. Jaw crusher: This equipment is used as a rough crushing processing link, after the montmorillonite is coarsely crushed, it is convenient for the next processing link.
2. Cone crusher: As the secondary crushing link, the cone crusher is a better choice. The cone crusher can finely crush the bentonite, and the effect is better.
3. Hammer crusher: The hammer crusher can also be used as a secondary operation link. It has both crushing and shaping functions, and has a high fine crushing efficiency. It can be used as the main equipment of a production line alone, which can reduce the first-level crushing link.
4. Sand making machine: Since bentonite is coarsely crushed and finely crushed, it cannot meet the actual needs of users, and it is necessary to make sand to make cat litter.
The production method of making bentonite cat litter is not the only one. The following production methods are also used more.
The bentonite used in the production of cat litter has a certain degree of selectivity, and not all bentonites are suitable for the production of cat litter. The selected raw materials of bentonite are air-dried under natural conditions so that the moisture of the bentonite is controlled at about 10%, and 2.5% of alkali is added to to stir evenly with a loader, and wait for it to age naturally. After about 5-7 days, use a powder grinding mill to grind the bentonite into a fine powder of 200 mesh with a pass rate of 90%. Then, add water and a disinfectant to the fine powder, and process the fine powder into cat litter particles with a diameter of 2-3 mm by a ball-disc machine. Finally, the cat litter particles are sent to the dryer for drying through the conveying equipment. After drying, the finished product is sieved, and when the finished product is cooled to room temperature, 0.5% of granular fragrance is added, and the finished product is packed and packaged.
CLIRIK YGM Raymond Mill, as an upgraded version of Raymond Mill, can produce 50-500 mesh ore powder, which can perfectly meet the requirements of 200 mesh 90% pass rate fine powder production.
Advantage:
• High production efficiency: The output is 20%-30% higher than the traditional Raymond mill.
• It is environmentally friendly and pollution-free, and the finished product is of good quality.
• The material of the wearing parts is more wear-resistant, the utilization rate is higher and the service life is longer.
In addition to producing bentonite cat litter, YGM Raymond Mill can also be used for the treatment of various materials such as limestone, calcite, dolomite, petroleum coke, gypsum, barite, marble, talc, and coal powder.
