3 Best Clumping Cat Litter in Daily Life

A lot of cat owners are in the selection of cat litter and distress, so they are always struggling with whether to choose clumping cat litter or choose non-clumping cat litter. Now I will introduce the clumping cat litter, hope to give you some help.

1. The type of clumping cat litter

Bentonite cat litter: The raw material is natural clay bentonite, clumping is hard.
Tofu cat litter: The raw material is pea fiber, with moderate hardness and good deodorization ability.
Pine cat litter: The raw material is pine and bentonite or pine and guar gum.

2. Production process

Bentonite cat litter:

• Fist of all, taking bentonite ore, after screening and drying, then crush it into about 200 mesh bentonite powder with a pulverizer.
• Second, natural bentonite is calcium-based bentonite, so its water absorption, bonding and stability are not as good as those of sodium-based bentonite.
• The third, in order to improve the clumping and water absorption of the final product, so adding about 3% soda (Na2CO2) into bentonite powder and fully stir. The calcium-based bentonite adsorbed cation is Ca2+, which has a weak bond with the crystal and low-priced Na+ ions are easily replace it to complete the sodium modification of the calcium-based bentonite. So that enhance the water-absorption and clumping hardness of bentonite and improve product quality.
• The fourth, after dry and fully reacted the sodium bentonite powder, pouring it into the pelleting tray for rapid rotation and spraying it with water mist, rolling the powder into spherical particles of different sizes.
•  The fifth, pouring the rolled spherical particles into the dryer, to make it dry. And the particles with a diameter of 1-4mm are screened out through the vibrating screen and the drum screen.
•  The sixth, adding 0.1% essence and 1% color granules in the granules, the main purpose is to improve the aesthetics of the product.
• Finally, mixing into finished raw materials, bagging and weighing.

Tofu cat litter:

• Mixing the raw materials together. 60%-70% pea fiber, 28%-39% starch, 1%-2% guar gum.
• Granule making: mechanical pressing, temperature 80 ℃, 20 minutes, pressure 300T;
• Cooling: cool air cooling;
• Bagging and weighing

Pine cat litter:

• Crushing the natural camphor pine.
• High-temperature extrusion into strip type.
• Cooling via conveyor belt.
• Bagging and weighing

3. The benefits of clumping cat litter

Clumping cat litter, easy to clean. When the cat has finished defecating, cat owners can use the shovel after using the clumping of cat litter shovel out of the cat litter box, do not have to throw away the whole box of cat litter.

Bentonite cat litter, high hardness, water absorption quickly, easy to clean, cat owners can not put it into the toilet to wash away.
Tofu cat litter is not as hard as bentonite cat litter, but it has strong odor absorption ability. Tofu cat litter is soluble in water and cat owners can flush down the toilet after use.

Fewer people use clumping pine cat litter, generally more people use non-clumping pine cat litter. It has the advantage of dust-free, cat owners can use the cat litter as flower fertilizer, you can also flush it into the toilet.
