Description

The utility model relates to pet care items, in particular to toilets for cats kept in apartments and houses.

Known granule filler toilet for pets, made of sorption material. A distinctive feature of the known granules is that it has a size of 1.4-10 mm and is made of cellular concrete with an average density of 200-700 kg / m ³ , a total porosity of 75-95%, conditionally closed pores of which have a diameter of 0.5- 4 mm / RU 13529, A01K 23/00, 1999 /. A disadvantage of the known granules is that its disposal in urban conditions is difficult, due to the inability to use urban sewers.

Closest to the claimed is a filler element containing sawdust and bran grain, and made in the form of granules / RU 46144, A01K 23/00, 2004 /. This technical solution is selected as a prototype. A distinctive feature of the prototype is that the granule is obtained by mixing sawdust with a particle size of up to 3 mm and bran bran with a particle size of from 0.1 to 8.0 mm, and the diameter of the adsorbent granule is from 2 to 20 mm and each of which contains wt.%:

Cereal bran 10-90

Sawdust 90-10

The granules may have the shape of a cylinder, the height of which differs from the diameter by no more than 30%.

The prototype is characterized by low absorption and odor retention, as well as increased stress on the ecosystem.

The problem solved by the utility model boils down to the creation of a filler element for the toilet of pets, devoid of these disadvantages.

The technical result of the claimed utility model is to reduce the cost of producing cat litter, reducing environmental stress.

To solve the problem, as well as to achieve the claimed technical result, a filler element for a pet toilet is proposed, which is a cylinder made of pressed plant material. A distinctive feature of the proposed element is that it is made of pre-chopped straw.

In addition, it is proposed that the element be performed with a cylinder diameter in the range from 4 to 8 mm.

In addition, it is proposed that the element be performed with a cylinder length in the range from 6 to 25 mm.

In addition, it is proposed that the element is made from pre-crushed straw of a grain crop, for example, rice and / or oats and / or buckwheat.

In addition, it is proposed that the element be made of pressed straw, previously crushed to a fraction of 0.02 to 1.5 mm.

In addition, it is proposed that the element is made of crushed pressed straw, previously moistened before pressing.

It is also proposed that the element is made of pressed straw to a density of 1.1-1.6 kg / dm ³ .

The implementation of the element of the filler of the toilet for pets from pre-chopped straw can reduce the cost of producing a filler of cat litter, as well as reduce the environmental burden due to the processing of unused straw and faster biodegradation of straw granules compared to wood and bran, when disposing of the filler in the form fertilizers. Filler from straw granules does not clog the sewer due to its properties determined by the organic nature of the raw material.

The attached sketch shows the inventive element in the form of a cylinder, where the diameter D is in the range of 4≤D≤8 mm, and the length L is in the range of 6≤L≤25. The bulk density of the filler obtained from the claimed elements is in the range of 0.6-0.65 kg / DM ³ .

Table 1 presents comparative data of fillers obtained from elements containing pressed crushed wood and fillers containing pressed crushed straw.

Pet toilet litter elements are prepared as follows.

The straw bales obtained by harvesting grain are first crushed to a fraction of 0.02 to 1.5 mm, then fed to the hopper of the pellet mill, where they are moistened before pressing. In the granulator, crushed and moistened straw is pressed into cylinders with a diameter of 4 to 8 mm to a density of 1.1-1.6 kg / dm ³ . The length of the pressed cylinders is determined by setting the cutting knife (if necessary) or by a natural fracture when leaving the press granulator.
