Abstract

A pet litter manufacturing method consists of mixing a granulated. absorbent material, e.g. attapulgite, with a second material, also in granular form, which is impregnated with Eucalyptus oil so that it gives off a pleasant perfume when the litter becomes damp. The material impregnated with the Eucalyptus oil is in the form of granules of fossilised seaweed, chosen for its porous nature, and the Eucalyptus oil, or other substance, added to it is selected for its deodorising properties. The fossilised seaweed granules are soaked in the oil and then dried, after which they are added to the granulated absorbent material while it is being sieved, producing a mixture of selected proportions. ADVANTAGE - Reduced unpleasant odours from pet litter.

Description

La présente invention concerne les litières pour animaux de compagnie et plus particulièrement un produit évitant l'emanation de mauvaises odeurs. The present invention relates to litter boxes for pets and more particularly to a product preventing the emanation of bad odors.

Les litières sont constituées, de particules absorbantes, le plus souvent du type minérales sélectionnées pour leur capacité à retenir liteau contenue dans les urines et les excréments aténuant ainsi le dégagement des molécules volatiles du type ammoniac responsables des odeurs désagréables. La limite d'absorption de ces granules est directement proportionnel à leur humidité propre, c'est à dire au nombre de molécules d'eau retenues dans la structure-moléculaire du produit considéré. De ce fait, plus l'humidité de la litière augmente, moins son pouvoir de retention de l'ammoniac est éfficace, ce qui poussé certains fabricants à proposer des parfums qui s'utilisent par soupoudrage sur la litière créant ainsi la présence de particules fines qui ont pour inconvénient de coller aux pattes des animaux.Et obligeant l'utilisateur à posséder deux produits, le premier pour capter l'humidité, le second pour masquer les mauvaises odeurs. Litter boxes are made up of absorbent particles, most often of the mineral type selected for their ability to retain litter contained in the urine and excrement, thus attenuating the release of volatile molecules of the ammonia type responsible for unpleasant odors. The absorption limit of these granules is directly proportional to their own humidity, that is to say to the number of water molecules retained in the molecular structure of the product considered. As a result, the more the humidity of the litter increases, the less its ammonia retention power is effective, which pushed some manufacturers to offer perfumes which are used by spraying on the litter thus creating the presence of fine particles. which have the disadvantage of sticking to the legs of animals. And requiring the user to have two products, the first to capture moisture, the second to mask bad odors.

Analysant cette situation, nous avons mené des recherches visant à remplacer le dégagement, les effluves nauséabondes par une odeur agréable tout en concervant les qualités premières d'une bonne litière, c'est à dire ayant un haut pouvoir d'absorption, un faible pouvoir de délitescence et sans risque de collage aux pattes des animaux et ceci en un seul et unique produit. On comprend ici que le produit, objet de l'invention, permet par sa composition de dégager une odeur agréable en présence d'humidité. Analyzing this situation, we have conducted research aimed at replacing the release, foul smells with a pleasant odor while retaining the first qualities of a good litter, that is to say having a high absorption power, a low power disintegration and without risk of sticking to the legs of animals and this in a single product. It is understood here that the product, object of the invention, by its composition gives off a pleasant odor in the presence of moisture.

L'originalité de cette litière, reposé sur trois principes que nous avons retenu pour arriver à un produit orignal , fiable, efficace et économique. The originality of this litter, based on three principles that we have chosen to arrive at an original product, reliable, efficient and economical.

ter principe : Concerne le choix des matières premières. ter principle: Concerns the choice of raw materials.

Tout d'abord le support : Nous avons retenu l'attapulgite qui présente parmi tous les supports disponibles, celui qui a le plus grand pouvoir de retention de l'humidité. Afin d'obtenir un produit final de grande qualité et pour ne pas altérer les qualités des autres composants, il est nécessaire de la tamiser pour ne retenir que les particules dont la gronulométrie est supérieure ou égale à 5 in.  First of all the support: We selected the attapulgite which presents among all the supports available, that which has the greatest power of retention of humidity. In order to obtain a high quality final product and in order not to alter the qualities of the other components, it is necessary to sift it to retain only the particles whose particle size is greater than or equal to 5 in.

Ensuite nous utilisons, des algues fossilisées d'une gronulométrie comprise -entre 1,5 et 3mn, que nous avons choisi pour leur structure poreuse, ce qui va nous permettre d'y fixer des essences d'Eucalyptus, qui vont se trouver prisonnières dans les alvéoles des algues fossilisées. Then we use fossilized algae with a size range between 1.5 and 3 minutes, which we have chosen for their porous structure, which will allow us to fix essences of Eucalyptus, which will be trapped in the alveoli of fossilized algae.

Ces essences ont été sélectionnées pour leur iiportant pouvoir odoriférant, mais nous connaissons également les vertues bactéricides des essences qui jouent un rôle dans le nalentissement deila formation de l'ammoniac au moment de l'utilisation de la litière, nous utilisons enfin les effets décongestionnant et calmant de cette essence sur les voies respiratoires aériennes supérieures.These essences have been selected for their strong odoriferous power, but we also know the bactericidal virtues of the essences which play a role in the nalentissement deila formation of ammonia at the time of the use of the litter, we finally use the decongestant effects and calming of this essence on the upper airways.

-2ème principe : Après un choix judicieux des différents composants, la technologie utilisée pour la fabrication du produit est très importante. Le tamissage du support nécessite l'emploi d'un tamiseur séparateur de grande efficacité et également ayant un débit important qui doit être d'au moins 10 Tonnes à l'heure en assurant une bonne séparation des particules.  -2nd principle: After a judicious choice of the different components, the technology used to manufacture the product is very important. The sieving of the support requires the use of a separator sieve of high efficiency and also having a significant flow rate which must be at least 10 Tons per hour while ensuring a good separation of the particles.

Pour fixer les essences, sur les algues fossilisées, nous procédons par immersior des algues dans un bain d'essences d'Eucalyptus et cette opération doit se faire dans une mélangeuse horizontale à ruban d'une capacité qui sera choisi en fonction du débit souhaité pour l'unité de production. Cette mélangeuse assurera une pénétration des essences dans la structure poreuse des algues,par brassage, forçant ainsi l'air à s'échapper. Cette opération doit entre effectuée dans un temps nécessaire et suffisant pour l'absorption totale de l'essence par les granules d'algues. Ce prémélange rejoindra ensuite le support juste avant le conditionnement et ceci par un procédé de dosage en continu de façon à éviter la manipulation excessive du support qui risquerait de provoquer des brisures. To fix the essences, on the fossilized algae, we proceed by immersior algae in a bath of Eucalyptus essences and this operation must be done in a horizontal ribbon mixer with a capacity which will be chosen according to the desired flow rate for the production unit. This mixer will ensure the penetration of essences into the porous structure of algae, by mixing, thus forcing the air to escape. This operation must be carried out in a time necessary and sufficient for the total absorption of the essence by the algae granules. This premix will then join the support just before packaging and this by a continuous dosing process so as to avoid excessive handling of the support which could cause breakage.

3ème principe : Les proportions des différents composants ont été étudiées d'une manière empirique en retenant deux contraintes : efficacité et prix de revient. Pour obtenir une litière très absorbante qui ne colle pas aux pattes, nous avons retenu l'attapulgite qui entre à raison de 90 % le fait de la tamiser assure un pouvoir de retention maximum sans poussière. 3rd principle: The proportions of the various components have been studied empirically, retaining two constraints: efficiency and cost price. To obtain a very absorbent litter that does not stick to the legs, we selected the attapulgite which enters at a rate of 90% the fact of sieving ensures a maximum power of retention without dust.

Les algues fossilisées sont incorporées à raison de 9 % et les essences pas plus de 1 %. Ces quantités nous assurent un produit efficace et dont le prix de revient reste dans les limites acceptabies pour les litières. Fossilized algae are incorporated at the rate of 9% and the essences not more than 1%. These quantities provide us with an efficient product, the cost price of which remains within acceptable limits for litter boxes.
