How to process tofu cat litter? Let's first look at the standard tofu cat litter production process:

how to make tofu cat litter

  1. Raw material preparation:
    Prepare raw materials such as corn starch, tofu dregs, guar gum, etc. The materials that need to be crushed need to be processed by a crusher for subsequent processing.
    Different tofu cat litter manufacturers have different raw materials and formulas. Some customers also add bentonite, grass powder, bamboo powder, paper scraps and other raw materials to tofu cat litter. And now there are more and more tofu cat litter products with special formulas.
  2. Mixing:
    Mix different kinds of raw materials in proportion and mix them thoroughly through a cat litter mixer.
  3. Pelleting:
    Send the mixed materials into the molding machine, and after pressing and molding, they become granular or agglomerated cat litter products. Generally speaking, the processing of tofu cat litter requires a cat litter pellet machine with a conditioner.
    If you are processing waste paper cat litter and wood cat litter, you need to choose a cat litter granulator without a conditioner. This is determined by the raw materials and process of the cat litter.
  4. Drying and cooling:
    Send the formed cat litter particles or agglomerates into the drying equipment, and after high-temperature drying treatment, reduce its water content and improve its quality.
    The temperature of the dried cat litter is high and needs to be cooled. When the particles are cooled to room temperature, they enter the screening section. The cooling section can determine the hardness of the pellets and make them not easy to break.
  5. Screening and packaging:
    The dried cat litter pellets are sent to the screening equipment for screening to remove impurities, and then packaged into bags or other packaging forms for sale.

The above is the common process flow of tofu cat litter processing equipment. Different manufacturers may be different, but the general process is similar. Next, we will further understand "how to process tofu cat litter" based on the process of a 1-ton-per-hour Malaysia tofu cat litter production line we have made.

Malaysia tofu cat litter production line

This is a typical tofu cat litter processing process. The raw materials of this customer are all powdered. Therefore, there is no need to crush them. All the raw materials are put into the mixer according to the ratio. The mixed powder is transported to the cat litter pellet machine.

After granulation, the cat litter pellets enter the belt dryer and then the cooler. The screening machine of this project is set below the cooler. After the cooled cat litter pellets are screened by the vibrating screen, the qualified particles enter the packaging section, and the unqualified particles will be re-granulated.

It should be emphasized that the process flow of the cat litter plant project undertaken by RICHI MACHINERY is all customized because the raw materials, formulas, plant structure and area, special needs and investment budgets of customers are different.

If you want to carry out tofu cat litter processing, bentonite cat litter processing, waste paper cat litter processing, wood pellet cat litter processing, zeolite cat litter processing, diatomaceous earth cat litter processing, crystal cat litter processing, attapulgite cat litter processing or other types of cat litter product processing, feel free to contact us to customize the cat litter processing process flow, get a full set of equipment configuration and quotation, plant layout and construction plan!

In order to let you better understand how to process tofu cat litter and how to build a tofu cat litter plant, below, we will list two of our projects for you, one is the 10t/h Kazakhstan tofu cat litter production line project, and the other is the Russian 16-17 tons tofu cat litter processing project. I hope you can learn more about tofu cat litter processing business from these two projects.

5. russia cat litter factory Process flow design

The 16-17tph Russia automatic tofu cat litter pellet production line project uses soybean fiber, walnut wood, corn flour, water, etc. as the main raw materials to produce cat litter through batching, mixing, granulating, drying, screening, and packaging. After the whole cat litter manufacturing palnt project is completed, it will produce 40,000 tons of tofu cat litter and 40,000 tons of plant cat litter.

The production process of tofu cat litter is the same as that of plant cat litter, only the ratio of raw materials is different. This cat litter factory project has a total of 4 kitty litter pellet production lines with the same production process and capacity.

  1. Material storage
    The raw materials of the cat litter factory project are soybean fiber, corn starch, and walnut wood in bags, all of which are purchased. The raw material truck is a closed transportation vehicle, which will be stored directly after entering the litter pellet factory.
  2. Batching and mixing system
    The raw materials are transported to the workshop by the human material trolley, and they are manually put into the feed opening of the elevator in the batching room. The weight of the materials is automatically measured, and the materials are conveyed to the mixer by the enclosed screw elevator. Water is added in proportion, and the materials are fully mixed and the mixing is confidential. 
  3. Granulation system
    The uniformly mixed wet material is transported to the cat litter sand pellet machine by the closed elevator. The steam enters the cat litter making machine through the pipeline and directly contacts the material for granulation. The granulation is confidential and the steam does not overflow. The wet material is squeezed in the cat litter pellet machine.
  4. Drying system
    The finished product of granulation is conveyed to the drying bin by the airtight conveyor belt, and dried by steam heating. The drying bin is airtight. There is an induced draft fan in the drying bin.
  5. Screening section
    After the material is dried, it becomes a large pellet product. The dried product is transported to a vibrating screen by a conveyor belt for screening. According to product requirements, product pellets with a particle size of <5mm are unqualified products and are screened through the screening process. In addition, unqualified products are collected and reused for production. The materials move with the vibration of the vibrating screen into the cat litter packing machine for packaging process.
  6. Packaging system
    The materials are sent into the cat litter packaging machine in equal amounts along with the vibration, and the packaging machine automatically bagging and sealing. After the bagging is completed, the products are waiting for sale.

Featured cat litter factory Cases

Below are some of the featured cat litter factory projects we have done. You can also go directly to our case center to view more cat litter project information!

Cat litter is a must for indoor cats, but outdoor-venturing cats will also appreciate a readily available tray filled with clean litter. The best cat litter and litter trays give your kitty a hygienic, private and convenient toilet in the comfort of their own home, whatever the weather. Cat litter comes in a huge variety of types, some of which will suit your cat and some of which won't. What all cats do have in common is fastidious cleanliness, so they'll always appreciate a carefully-cleaned, freshly-filled tray. Without it, accidents can occur, especially if your cat is very young or old, or hasn't been well.

According to different formulas and materials, tofu cat litter has been researched and developed by engineers and technicians. The cost of cat litter is also based on different formulas to make different levels of cat litter, and the price is also quite different. Depending on the recipe of cat litter, the processing cost of cat litter is also different. The quality and formula of cat litter are the main constraints to the cost of cat litter.

tofu cat litter

With the improvement of people's quality of life and the development of an aging society, cats have become our favorite members. The reason is very simple. Cats are small, clean, cute, docile, and easy to take care of. In the future, cats in the pet market will be It is an exponential growth, and now, in the pet market of 100 billion level, cat litter, as a pet product, has been walking on the edge of the industry for a long time.

From 15 years to 20 years, cat litter can be said to be explosive growth, but There are still various problems in this industry, such as quality standards, technical formulas, production equipment, etc., all of which are developing backwards...
