🐾 1. Cat Litter Production Line Using an Extruder 100% cassava starch / corn starch
For Tofu Cat Litter / Plant-Based Biodegradable Pellets
This production line is specially designed to process plant-based materials such as soybean residue (okara), starch, and fiber into high-quality extruded cat litter pellets. The extrusion process enables excellent shaping, clumping, and durability.
Mix raw materials with water and optional additives (fragrance, baking soda)
Twin-Screw Extruder
Thermo-mechanical process forms long rods/sticks of uniform diameter
Cutter
Cuts extruded rods into pellets (e.g., 1.5–5cm)
Multi-Layer Belt Dryer
Low-temperature drying to reduce moisture to <10%
Cooling Conveyor
Cools down the pellets to avoid clumping during packing
Screening Machine
Removes powder and broken particles
Optional: Fragrance Sprayer
Automatic Packing Machine
Weighing, filling, and sealing bags (1kg–6L)
✅ Advantages:
Strong, uniform pellets with smooth finish
Highly customizable (fragrance, color, diameter)
Ideal for tofu cat litter production
Biodegradable, flushable, and eco-friendly
🟤 2. Cat Litter Production Line Using a Pellet Machine
For Bentonite, Wood-Based, or Paper-Based Cat Litter
This line uses a flat die or ring die pellet machine to compress powdery raw materials into hard cylindrical pellets, commonly used for bentonite, wood fiber, recycled paper, or sawdust cat litter.
🔄 Production Process Flow:
Raw Material Crushing & Screening
Prepare bentonite clay, wood chips, or recycled paper
Drying Unit (if needed)
Ensure raw material moisture is around 10–15%
Binder Mixing (Optional)
Add water, starch, guar gum or additives
Pellet Machine (Flat Die or Ring Die)
Mechanical compression into cylindrical pellets
Cooling Conveyor
Harden and cool the pellets
Screening Machine
Separate fines and irregular pellets
Dust Removal System
Automatic Packing Machine
Bagging into 5kg, 10kg, or bulk bags
✅ Advantages:
Lower energy consumption
Simpler structure and maintenance
Suitable for hard materials (bentonite, wood, paper)
Cylindrical, dense pellets with longer absorption time
