Inner Mongolia cat litter drying

1.Customer background

Ningcheng County, Chifeng City, Inner Mongolia, is known as the “hometown of cat litter in China” and is the largest bentonite cat litter production base in the country, with an annual output of over 2 million tons, accounting for the total national output

2/3 of it is exported to over 100 countries and regions worldwide. With the increasing demand for cat litter quality in the international market, local enterprises urgently need to upgrade their drying processes to improve production efficiency, reduce energy consumption, and ensure low dust and environmentally friendly products.

2.Customer Demand

Efficient drying: Traditional air drying or coal-fired drying methods have low efficiency and cannot meet the needs of large-scale orders.

Energy saving and environmental protection: It is necessary to comply with green production standards, reduce dust pollution, and avoid high carbon emissions from coal-fired drying.

Automated control: requires precise temperature adjustment (50 ℃~80 ℃) to adapt to different types of cat litter (bentonite, tofu cat litter, etc.).

Improve product quality: Ensure that cat litter particles are uniform, low dust, and have good clumping properties, meeting the high-end market demands of Europe, America, and Southeast Asia.

3.Customized solution: Electric heating mesh belt dryer

Jinlu Machinery has designed an electric heating mesh belt drying production line for customers based on their needs, which mainly includes:

Multi layer stainless steel mesh belt: made of 304 food grade material, corrosion-resistant, easy to clean, and suitable for high temperature and high humidity environments.

Intelligent temperature control system: PID precise adjustment, temperature uniformity ± 2 ℃, to avoid local overheating affecting the cat litter structure.

Hot air circulation system: The high-efficiency energy-saving fan is designed with a guide plate to reduce heat loss and energy consumption by 20% compared to traditional methods.

Automated conveying: Variable frequency speed control mesh belt, adjustable drying time according to cat litter humidity (2-6 hours adjustable).

Low dust design: enclosed structure+dust removal device, reducing dust spillage during production process, in compliance with EU environmental standards.

 4.Implementation effect

Capacity improvement: Drying efficiency has increased by 30%, with a daily processing capacity of 50 tons, meeting the export order needs of enterprises.

Energy saving and consumption reduction: Electric heating replaces coal, saving energy costs by about 150000 yuan annually and reducing carbon emissions by 40%.

Quality optimization: The moisture content of cat litter is stably controlled below 8%, the agglomeration is enhanced, the dust rate is reduced to 0.5%, and the customer feedback return rate has decreased by 60%.

Intelligent management: The remote monitoring system realizes fault warning, reduces manual inspections, and achieves an automation rate of 85% for the production line.

5.Customer Reviews

The production manager of a cat litter enterprise in Ningcheng County said, “Jinlu Machinery’s electric heating mesh belt dryer has completely solved the problems of low efficiency and high pollution in our traditional drying method. The equipment runs stably, and the quality of cat litter products has significantly improved. Overseas customers are very satisfied with the low dust effect. In the future, we plan to introduce two more production lines to further expand production capacity.
