In Argentina, bentonite ore resource is rich. Besides being used in organic fertilizer making from manure, industrial production, etc, it is an ideal material to make cat litter. Because, it has an excellent absorption of water and odor. On 6th March 2024, a customer from Argentina inquired about how to make bentonite cat litter. With bentonite, corn cobs, sawdust as materials, the client wanted to setup a 10 t/h cat litter production plant.

The following are the specific details of communication in this case
how to make bentonite ore into cat litter?
From the email of the Argentina customer, he told us that there are bentonite rocks, corn cobs, sawdust as materials for cat litter granule production. Then how to make bentonite ore into cat litter pellets? In general, it needs 6 steps:
How to crush bentonite ore and corn cobs to make bentonite cat litter?
For bentonite ore processing, Jaw crusher and Raymond crusher are the best choices for you. With special designs, they can crush hard bentonite rocks into small particles (0.173-0.044 mm) quickly. But, for corn cobs crushing, we recommend you use our wood grinder, which is designed for agricultural waste crushing.
Which bentonite granules making machine suitable for 10 t/h cat litter production?
For 10 t/h cat litter granules manufacturing, we can offer you two types of powder granule making systems for your choice.
Economical double roller granulation of bentonite mixture
If you need a cat litter production line with lower investment, double roller granulation line is your best choice. Because it adopts dry granulation method, which granulate bentonite mixture powder by extrusion force between two rollers instead of water resulting cohesion. In this way, there is no need for drying and cooling to reduce moisture after cat litter granule making. Therefore, you can save money on dryer and cooler buying. In the system of making bentonite cat litter with 10 t/h output, you need 4 sets of roller press granulators.
Pan cat litter granule making with over 93% granulation rate
But, if you pursue a high granulation rate, which means you can convert more bentonite powder into pellets and reduce the returned materials for granulating again. It is advisable to choose our pan granulation machine. Its granulation rate of bentonite cat litter can reach 93%. In addition, the 10 t/h cat litter pellets production only needs two disc pelletizers. Pan granulator adopts wet granulation method, which uses water as binder to facilitate the production of bentonite granules. So, it needs drying and cooling processes later.
Which granule making system can make cat litter from bentonite with 20%-25% moisture?
Then, the Argentina customers asked us which system is more suitable for making cat litter with 20%-25% moisture bentonite material? For this, we recommend you choose the pan granulation system. Because the feeding material moisture requirement of double roller dry granulator is below 10%. Moreover, we especially design professional pray device to control moisture for quality bentonite cat litter making easier. And it is also equipped with cleaning plate for sticking bentonite powder removing, which is greatly beneficial for reducing material waste during granulation.
What other materials can be used in bentonite cat litter making in Argentina?
For general environmental bentonite cat litter manufacturing, it is enough to use bentonite, sawdust, cellulose and water as materials only. The feeding materials ratio is 60% : 20% : 20%.
If you want to make scented bentonite cat litter granules, it is advisable to add water soluble flavor and activated carbon. The proportion of bentonite and activated carbon is 85%-95% : 5%. And the amount of water soluble flavor adding is 1.5% of the bentonite.
And when you plan to make better cat litter from bentonite, you can use silica gel powder and diatomite as auxiliary materials. They can greatly enhance adsorption and deodorization capabilities of cat litter granules you prepare. The formula is bentonite : sawdust : silica gel powder: diatomite is 55%-75% : 5%-10% : 10%-15%: 10%-15%.
The above are details about our communication with the customer about how to make bentonite cat litter in Argentina. In addition, YUSHUNXIN also can provide you with many other bentonite processing plans, such as NPK fertilizer production system, organic fertilizer making with bentonite, etc. Welcome to contact us for your own fertilizer manufacturing business plan at any time.
