Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a method for producing granular material for treating manure of dogs and cats, and to a granular material obtained by the method.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art As a pet excrement disposal material, there are many inorganic minerals such as bentonite and zeolite, but the common thing is that they are heavy and inconvenient to carry and handle. It is uneconomical because it contains a lot of odor, and the deodorizing ability is inferior. As a result, processing materials made by molding pulp paper into granules are available on the market, but although they are lighter and more flammable than mineral-based materials, these processing materials are unavoidable because of their low water absorption and retention of liquid excretion. , Collected / collected liquid leaks out from the water absorbing material during processing after use. There are also woody ones, but they have a processing defect that the solidified state is gel and it is difficult to remove excrement. In addition, the processing material formed into a paper grain has a poor processability of the raw material and requires a high manufacturing cost. Furthermore, antibacterial activity can hardly be expected. In addition, zeolite is mixed with clay containing silica particles,
A two-layer type in which a surface layer of a solidification accelerator is formed on the surface of the inner layer of the kneaded and solidified core body (JP-A-3-1279).
Although 21) is proposed, it is not implemented because the manufacturing is troublesome and the cost is high.

DISCLOSURE OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been made in view of the above-mentioned conventional circumstances, and it has a thick fiber layer on the outer periphery, is highly water-absorbing and water-retaining, and is lightweight and combustible palm. Focusing on the fact, to provide a low-cost and highly-efficient pet excrement treatment material, which is mainly composed of the dry powder and has antibacterial activity.

In order to achieve the above object,
According to the present invention, the total amount is 100, and the main raw material, which has an apparent specific gravity of 0.12 to 0.15, is 10 to 70% by weight of dried coconut powder, 30 to 70% by weight of bentonite powder, and 5% of water-absorbing polymer powder. ~ 30 bulk ratio% and no zeolite powder 20-30
A material for treating excrement of dogs and cats, which comprises uniformly mixing the bulk ratio (%), adding an antibacterial agent, adding water to the mixture, granulating the mixture, and finally drying, and a method for producing the same.

Further, in the above constitution, the antibacterial agent is a 10-fold liquid of essential oil, and a dog-cat waste treatment material and a method for producing the same.
Furthermore, granulation has a particle size distribution of 1.3 mm to 2 mm is 20
% By weight, 2 mm to 3.5 mm is 60% by weight, 3.5 mm
It is a material for treating feces and urine of dogs and cats, which is performed so that the content of ~ 4.5 mm becomes 20% by weight.

[Examples] Data Mixing ratio Palm seed dry powder Bulk ratio 40% Bentonite powder (produced in Niigata Prefecture) Bulk ratio 30% Water-absorbing polymer powder No (Kao water-absorbing polymer-EQ-K white powder) Bulk ratio 15% Zeolite powder No (Miyagi prefecture production) Bulk ratio 15% Total amount 100% The total amount of each material 100% is uniformly mixed, 10 times essential oil is added as an antibacterial agent, and further sprayed with water and cast into a flat granulator. Granulate. At this time, the number of revolutions of the granulator, the inclination angle, and the amount of water sprayed are adjusted to be 20% by weight of 1.3 mm to 2 mm and 2 mm to 3.5 mm.
Is 60% by weight, 3.5 mm to 4.5 mm is 20% by weight,
Those less than 1.3 mm and more than 4.5 mm are removed. Then, the granulated product containing the granulated water is dried at 150 ° C. with a hot air dryer to have a particle size of 1.3 mm to 4.5 mm.
The treated material of the present invention, which is a granulated product of mm, is obtained.

[0007] In the above, as the dried coconut seed powder, a fiber layer having a thick outer circumference with a fruit length of about 25 cm is selected, and only the fiber layer is crushed except for the milky juice inside. To use. It is crushed to 2 mm or less so as not to hinder the hardening performance. Further, regarding the water-absorbing polymer powder, similar results were obtained for other companies' products (Lion Co., Ltd. Bascal 700, polymeric water-absorbing agent, etc.). Similar results were obtained with a competitor's water absorption amount of 400 to 1000 times physiological saline solution of 40 g / g or more.

[0008]

Action and effect of the invention When the treatment material obtained according to the present invention was poured with 20 cc of physiological saline (salt content 2%) in a washing bottle, it was efficiently absorbed, and only that portion became a nodule, and a lump portion. Only the one could be taken out easily.
Furthermore, the bulk specific gravity is 0.8, which is light, and the weight of the hardened part can be reduced. While the liquid excrement treatment material for wood-based pets is in the form of a nodule in the form of a gel, the present invention is in the form of a nodule as a lump, and it is confirmed that only that part can be easily taken out and post-treatment is much easier. It was

The treated material obtained according to the present invention is lighter in weight than the conventional crushed bentonite / zeolite or bentonite / zeolite mixed treated material, since it uses a dried coconut palm powder as a main raw material and a water-absorbing polymer powder. It has excellent water absorption and storage capacity, and by adding bentonite / zeolite, the storage capacity is increased and the deodorizing power is also excellent. Further, as described above, since it becomes a nodule as a lump, the amount to be thrown away per time is small, which helps to further increase the deodorizing power. And since an antibacterial agent is added, the propagation of various bacteria can be prevented. As the antibacterial agent, it is desirable to use an essential oil (aromatic oil) obtained from a plant in that dogs and cats are not harmed by chemical reaction. One of its advantages is that it is flammable and can be easily incinerated.

Then, the granulation is performed with a particle size distribution of 1.3 mm to 2 m.
m is 20% by weight, 2 mm to 3.5 mm is 60% by weight,
In the embodiment in which 3.5 mm to 4.5 mm is 20% by weight, it is possible to prevent fine particles of lightweight particles from entering between the particles and deeply penetrate urine, and to quickly solidify in a small amount. .

As described above, the manure processing material according to the present invention is
It is a promise that it will be a great gospel for dog and cat breeders as it is lightweight, easy to consume, deodorant, flammable and economical.
