Abstract

PURPOSE: To obtain an excreta-treating material used for pets, excellent in a water- adsorbing property and a deodorizing property by treating granules comprising used coffee grounds, etc., under specific conditions. CONSTITUTION: This method for producing an excreta-treating material for pets comprises mixing 20-80 dry wt.% of used coffee grounds, tea grounds or active carbon powder with 10-15wt.% of grain husks, oil cakes, etc., ground the mixture into a size of 30-100 meshes, adding 20-80wt.% of peat as a deodorizing agent, and, if necessary, 2-5wt.% of starch (>=13wt.% of gluten) as a binder, further adding 10-20wt.% of water to the mixture in response to the whole wet state of the mixture, sufficiently stirring the mixture, molding the mixture into granules having a diameter of 1-10ϕ with a pressure of 10-50kg/cm<2> , drying the produced granules to a water content of <=10wt.%, coating the granules with an aqueous solution produced by diluting 1-2wt.% of a water-soluble cellulose ether or a water-soluble synthetic resin into the volume of 10-20 times, spraying the mixture of 15-20wt.% of starch with 0.5-3wt.% of a water- adsorbing resin on the surfaces of the coated granules, and simultaneously spraying water in an amount of 15-20wt.% in a mist-like state to uniformly adhere the mixture power to the surfaces of the granules, and subsequently drying the treated granules.

Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention has an object to provide a method for producing an excrement disposal material which can be comfortably used by laying it on a toilet bowl, bed or the like of pets kept indoors or outdoors. .

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, to treat the excrement of pets bred in general households, it is necessary to use sufficiently dried sand, zeolite powder and bentonite grains, or to cut newspapers into small pieces. It is well known that wood chips or hay are appropriately cut and used, or pulp is molded and processed to give water absorption and deodorizing power.

[0003]

The above-mentioned conventional pet excrement treating materials have no problem in terms of water absorption and deodorizing effect of pet excrement, but when discarded, the mineral particles are treated as non-combustible materials. Since it is treated, it causes environmental pollution, and when pulp is used as a main raw material, the processing process is complicated, and it is difficult to sell at a low price.

In view of the problems of the prior art, the present invention is
The material cost is low by providing a pet excrement disposal material whose main component is low-price grain shells or lees, which were conventionally used as a part of animal feed or discarded by incineration. Not only is it possible to manufacture and sell at an extremely low price because the processing process is simple, it also absorbs moisture and bad odor of pet excrement sufficiently, and only the treatment material of the excrement part excreted by the pet solidifies, An object of the present invention is to provide an extremely economical method for producing a pet excrement disposal material, in which only that portion can be taken out and discarded, and can be discarded as raw garbage or burnable garbage.

[0005]

In order to achieve the above object, in the present invention, used coffee grounds, tea leaves (dehydrated or used as they are) or activated carbon powder in a dry weight of 20 to 80% of grain. 10 to 15% by crushing shell or oil dregs to 30 to 100 mesh, and peat as deodorant 20
~ 80% and a small amount of starch as binder (13% gluten)
2 to 5% is added and mixed well, and 10 to 20% of water is added depending on the wet condition of the whole and mixed well, and 10 to 5%.
Pressurized to 0 Kg / cm ² to form 1φ to 10φ, and forcedly dried to a water content of 10% or less. Water-soluble cellulose ether (etherification degree 1.30 or more) is added to the finished granulated product.
Or 1 to 2% of water-soluble synthetic resin (polymer electrolyte)
Water-solubilized 0 to 20 times and applied to the surface of the granulated product, and starch (gluten 13% or more, 200 mesh) 15 to
A mixture of 20% and 0.5 to 3% of a water-absorbent resin (300 mesh) is sprayed on the surface of the granules, and at the same time, water is sprayed in a mist form of 15 to 20% of the total weight, and the whole powder is After making it adhere evenly to the surface, it was dried to produce a pet excrement disposal material.

Further, in the above, 1 to 2% of water-soluble synthetic resin (polymer electrolyte) or water-soluble cellulose ether (etherification degree 1.30 or more) is added to the granulated and dried particles.
Aqueous solution of 0 to 20 times is applied to the surface of the granulated product, and 5 to 10% of starch (gluten 13% or more), bentonite 5 to 10% (200 mesh), water absorbent resin (30
(0 mesh) 0.5 to 1% of the mixture is sprayed on the surface of the particles, and at the same time, 20 to 25% of the total weight is sprayed so that the entire powder adheres evenly to the surface of the particles. It is also possible to produce a pet excrement disposal material by drying.

[0007]

EXAMPLES Next, a method for producing a pet excrement disposal material according to the present invention and a pet excrement disposal material obtained thereby will be described.

(Embodiment 1) The structure of the present invention will be described in more detail with reference to embodiments.

Here, the main component of the excrement disposal material is used coffee grounds (dried) in a dry weight ratio of 40.
%, Peat 25%, rapeseed oil cake 15%, starch 4% and water 20% were mixed well and stirred well, 10-50 Kg / c
Pressurized to m ² and molded into 1φ to 10φ, the total water content is 5
Dry well to 10%.

A lot of coffee grounds are used for pet dung,
Instantly decomposes and absorbs the scent of urine, rapeseed meal has a water-absorbing effect, peat (peat) has excellent binding and deodorizing power during granulation, improves burning of burnable garbage, and changes the specific gravity of particles. Let

The well-dried particles are put in a horizontal hollow cylindrical drum (diameter 1 m × length 2 m), and the drum is rotated at 10 to 15 rpm. As a material for the surface coating of the grains, first, water-soluble cellulose ether (etherification degree 1.30 to 1.
45) A 15% aqueous solution of 2% by weight is made into an aqueous solution, and the granulated product in a rotating drum is sprayed. After confirming that it was applied uniformly, starch (gluten 13% or more) 15%,
Water-absorbent resin (300 mesh) 0.5%, colorant (pigment) 0.2% and preservative 0.2% if necessary, and the mixed powder is granulated in a rotating drum. A small amount of water is sprayed evenly on the surface, and about 20% of the total weight of the water is sprayed in a mist while pressurizing to 50 atm while observing the state of the surface coat.

After confirming that the powder adheres evenly to the granulated granules, the rotation of the cylindrical drum is stopped, the granules are taken out of the drum, and the granules are forcibly dried by a dryer until the water content becomes 10% or less. The finished grains have a specific gravity of about 0.5 or more, which is heavier than paper sand and wooden sand, and rarely scatter around when used in a toilet bowl.

(Example 2) Surface coating material of Example 1 Starch (gluten 13% or more) 15% by weight to starch 8
% And bentonite (200 mesh) 8% are used, the finished surface does not become sticky and is beautiful when colored. If a pigment that develops with the urine of pets is used, the used treatment material can be replaced more quickly.

[0014]

EFFECT OF THE INVENTION The pet excrement disposal material of the present invention constituted by the above-mentioned manufacturing method has a certain weight and water absorption property, and after use, the excrement disposal material solidifies and exhibits a strong deodorizing effect at the same time. . It can also be discarded as raw garbage or burnable garbage, and can also be sprinkled in gardens and fields as a soil conditioner.
