What is bentonite cat litter?

Analysis of core raw materials of Cat Global

Bentonite cat litter is a mineral cat litter with natural bentonite as the core material and made by multiple physical processing techniques. It is also the oldest and most popular traditional cat litter category in the market. Bentonite is a kind of natural clay mineral with montmorillonite as the main component, which has super water absorption, expansibility and adsorption. When it meets water, it can quickly expand, firmly wrap the liquid and form a compact lump, which perfectly meets the cleaning needs of cats after going to the toilet. This is also the core reason why bentonite can become the core raw material of cat litter. Cat Global has always adhered to the production concept of “quality depends on the source”, selected high-quality bentonite sources around the world, and finally selected natural sodium-based bentonite as the core raw material, rejecting inferior calcium-based bentonite and slag impurity doping. All the brand cooperative mining areas have been professionally tested, and the content of montmorillonite as the core raw material is as high as 85% and the impurity content is extremely low, which lays the foundation for high-quality products from the source. Compared with ordinary calcium-based bentonite, sodium-based bentonite has higher water absorption and expansion rate, denser agglomeration, stronger ability to absorb odor, and has natural weak alkaline antibacterial properties, which can reduce bacterial growth and odor diffusion from the source. In order to further optimize the product experience, on the basis of core raw materials, Cat Global adds food-grade deodorizing factors, antibacterial components and low-sensitivity fragrance as needed. All auxiliary materials have been tested for non-toxicity, and do not contain harmful substances such as fluorescent agents, heavy metals and chemical adhesives. Even if cats eat a small amount by mistake, it will not damage the stomach, giving consideration to practicality and safety, and it is suitable for cats of all ages, such as young cats, adult cats and elderly cats.

Detailed explanation of the whole production process of Cat Global bentonite cat litter

High-quality bentonite cat litter can not be separated from standardized and refined production technology. Cat Global has set up a fully automatic intelligent production line, and established a whole-process quality control system from raw materials entering the factory to finished products leaving the warehouse. Every cat litter has been polished through a number of rigorous procedures to prevent inferior products and defective products from entering the market and ensure the uniform quality of every bag of products obtained by consumers around the world. Its complete production process is divided into eight core links, which are interlocking and controlled layer by layer.

1.Selection and pretreatment of raw materials

Before the raw materials enter the factory, the brand quality inspection team will carry out multiple tests on bentonite raw ore, including core indicators such as montmorillonite content, impurity ratio, water content, pH value, etc. Only the raw ore that meets the standard can enter the production line. Subsequently, the bulk raw ore is primarily crushed, and the raw ore of tens of centimeters is crushed into small pieces of 1-5 centimeters by using a jaw crusher, and impurities such as stones, soil and metals in the ore are removed at the same time, so as to avoid the impurities from affecting the subsequent processing and product quality.

2.High temperature drying and dehydration

The water content of natural bentonite ore is as high as 30%-40%. Too high water content will lead to mildew, pulverization and decreased agglomeration of cat litter, so drying is the core process. Cat Global adopts constant-temperature rotary kiln drying equipment to dry and dehydrate the coarse bentonite at high temperature, accurately control the drying temperature and duration, and reduce the water content of raw materials to below 10%, which not only ensures the dryness of particles, but also does not destroy the mineral structure of bentonite itself, and at the same time kills bacteria and eggs in raw materials, and eliminates the problem of mildew and insects in the later stage of products.

3.Fine grinding and sodium modification

Small pieces of dried bentonite enter Raymond mill and are ground into fine powder with uniform fineness, so as to ensure the uniform texture of subsequent molded particles. In view of some calcium-based raw ores, the brand has transformed calcium-based bentonite into sodium-based bentonite with better performance by professional sodium modification process and adding food-grade soda ash for ion replacement, which improves the water absorption and swelling properties of raw materials and the stability of agglomeration, so that every cat litter has the core advantages of sodium-based bentonite.

4.High pressure extrusion molding

Grinding the modified bentonite fine powder, and carrying out high-pressure physical extrusion in a twin-roll granulator, wherein the fine powder is pressed into a compact sheet and strip blank by mechanical pressure without adding excess water and using inferior adhesive. This physical molding method can make the internal structure of cat litter particles more compact, and it is not easy to be pulverized and the dust content is lower during use. At the same time, it can improve the hardness of particles and avoid the rapid fragmentation of cats when shaving sand.

5. Crushing and grading screening

The extruded green body enters a toothed roller crusher and is broken into irregular particles with moderate size, and then is accurately classified by a multi-layer vibrating screen. The oversize particles are removed by the upper screen, and the oversize particles are returned to the crusher for reprocessing; The middle screen screens out two mainstream particles of 0.5-2mm and 1-3mm, which are suitable for different cat usage habits; The bottom screen screen removes fine dust, and the dust flows back to the granulation process for secondary use, which not only reduces the waste of raw materials, but also reduces the dust content of products from the source. The particle size of cat litter after classification and screening is uniform, without broken powder and large particles, and the appearance and practicality are up to standard.

6. Deep dust removal and purification

In view of the industrial pain point of traditional bentonite cat litter dust, Cat Global added a multi-stage circulating dust removal process, and used negative pressure dust removal equipment to remove the fine floating dust attached to the particle surface, with a dust removal rate of over 90%. After deep dust removal, cats will not raise a lot of dust when shaving sand, which not only protects the cat’s fragile respiratory tract, eyes and urinary system, but also prevents dust from polluting the home environment and contaminating furniture and clothes.

7. Adding and evenly mixing auxiliary materials

According to the market demand, the brand launched a variety of products, such as fragrance-free, fragrance-less, antibacterial and so on. In the dusted cat litter particles, natural activated carbon, silver ion antibacterial agent, plant fragrance-less factor and other auxiliary materials were added as needed, and the particles and auxiliary materials were evenly mixed by automatic mixer, which did not destroy the original structure of cat litter, and at the same time strengthened the deodorization and antibacterial ability of the products to meet the use needs of different pet owners. All accessories meet the safety standards of pet products, and have no irritation or toxic side effects.

8. Automatic packaging and finished product inspection

Finally, it enters the automatic packaging process, weighing and packaging according to different specifications, using thick moisture-proof packaging bags and sealing design to prevent products from getting wet and leaking powder during transportation and storage. Before leaving the warehouse, each batch of finished products will be tested for cohesion, dust content, water content, safety and so on. Only when all the indicators meet the standards can they be labeled with brand names and sent to the global market, and the whole process of quality control and quality traceability can be truly achieved.

Cat Global bentonite cat litter core product characteristics

Relying on high-quality mineral resources and refined production technology, Cat Global bentonite cat litter has formed a differentiated core advantage, which perfectly solves the pain points of traditional bentonite cat litter, such as large dust, loose agglomeration and odor diffusion, and adapts to various pet raising scenes such as high-rise apartments, single-family houses and multi-cat families, making it a safe choice for global pet owners.

1. Extremely fast water absorption, super tight and firm.

The high content of sodium-based montmorillonite endows the product with super water absorption ability. After cat litter contacts with cat urine, it can quickly absorb water within 1 second, and form a compact, non-loose lump within 3 seconds. The hardness of the lump is high, and it will not break or stick to the bottom in the process of shoveling excrement, which can firmly lock the urine, prevent liquid from penetrating into the bottom of cat litter basin, and reduce bacterial growth and waste of cat litter. Even in the face of high-frequency use in multi-cat families, it can still maintain a stable agglomeration effect, and it is cleaner and more worry-free.

2. Multi-stage dust removal, low powder and dust-free is healthier.

Different from the high dust problem of ordinary bentonite cat litter, Cat Global realizes low powder and dust-free products through three processes: high pressure molding, multi-stage dust removal and particle compaction. The particles are hard and not easy to break, and there is almost no dust when cats scrape sand and trample, which will not stimulate the cat’s respiratory tract, cause eye discomfort, and will not lead to cat urinary system infection; At the same time, avoid dust scattered all over the house, keep the home environment clean and tidy, and care for the health of pet owners and cats.

3. Strong adsorption, all-round odor locking and deodorization

The product has dual deodorizing ability of physical adsorption and chemical decomposition. The pore structure of natural bentonite can quickly adsorb odor molecules in urine and feces, and with activated carbon and plant deodorizing factors, it can deeply decompose irritating odor such as ammonia gas, rather than simply covering the odor. Even if the litter box is not cleaned for a long time, it can effectively inhibit the spread of odor and keep the indoor air fresh, especially suitable for families with indoor pets and closed spaces.The product has dual deodorizing ability of physical adsorption and chemical decomposition.

4. The particles are moderate, and the cat’s acceptance is extremely high

Cat Global bentonite cat litter is made of fine and irregular particles close to natural sandy soil, which is soft to the touch. The particle size has been optimized by thousands of pet owners, which conforms to the nature of cat sanding. Both young cats and adult cats can adapt quickly, and there will be no rejection of the use of cat litter pots. The friction of particles is moderate, so it is not easy for cats to take out the litter box when stepping on it, which reduces the subsequent cleaning workload.

5. Safe and non-irritating, suitable for all cats

Natural mineral raw materials and food-grade auxiliary materials are used throughout the process, and there are no chemical additives and toxic and harmful substances. After non-toxic testing by authoritative organizations, cats will not pose health risks if they accidentally eat or scrape sand. Weak alkaline particles have natural bacteriostatic effect, which can reduce the growth of bacteria in the litter box, reduce the probability of cats suffering from skin diseases and urinary system diseases, and are suitable for all types of cats such as young cats, pregnant cats, elderly cats and sensitive cats.

6. Full cost performance, durable and easy to clean

The product loss rate is low, and the agglomeration is accurate. It is not necessary to change the cat litter as a whole frequently, but only to clean the agglomeration and replenish new sand every day. The single bag is superior to similar products in the long run. The used cat litter can be directly sealed and put into the trash can, and the disposal method is simple and convenient, which is suitable for all kinds of pet owners, especially busy office workers and novice pet owners.
