Description

Paper cat litter manufacturing method

The invention relates to a method for manufacturing a paper cat litter, in particular to a method for coating a surface of a paper cat litter with a coagulant film layer and miniaturizing the paper cat litter, and directly rushing into the toilet after use. A method of manufacturing paper cat litter that dissolves or pours into an incinerator and is environmentally friendly.

With the rapid development of the economy, there has been a growing trend of keeping cats and dogs and other pets in recent years. Taking pet cats as an example, cat litter is usually placed in the litter box as a place for training cats to excrete, so it is currently on the market. There are a variety of cat litter products, which can be roughly divided into mineral sand and crystal sand. The mineral sand has the characteristics of easy to agglomerate after absorbing water, and it will condense into a lump after absorbing the urine of the cat. The owner can directly remove the condensed mineral sand and remove it, so it is convenient to clean. However, such mineral sands have the disadvantages of being dusty and susceptible to contamination. Cats are prone to dust or cat litter outside the basin when they are playing with cat litter or leaving the litter box, which not only causes environmental pollution, but also the owner. And cats may also affect their health by inhaling dust or germs, and there may be environmental pollution caused by incinerators that cannot burn, incinerators and carbon deposits. Crystal cat litter is made of tannin, which has tiny pores on the surface to absorb moisture. This kind of crystal cat litter has the characteristics of no dust and no staining, but the disadvantage is that the moisture adsorption is not good and the cat is absorbed. After the urine can not form a mass, some urine is deposited on the bottom of the litter box and is easy to breed bacteria. Therefore, it is usually used in a double litter box, and the crystal cat litter that absorbs urine should be cleaned separately. Pick out to continue to use, otherwise you need to replace the whole pot of cat litter, not only time-consuming and laborious and not economical. In addition, The biggest disadvantage of crystal cat litter is that its material can't be dissolved in water. The crystal cat litter after use is easy to cause environmental problems.

Since the traditional cat litter still has the above-mentioned defects in use, a paper cat litter has been developed on the market, and the paper cat litter is made by adding a coagulating agent to the pulp, which will condense into a dough after absorbing the urine of the cat. It has the characteristics of not generating dust and being difficult to be contaminated, and has the function of environmental protection. After use, it can be directly flushed into the toilet to dissolve or pour into the incinerator for combustion. However, since the paper cat litter is directly added to the pulp in the manufacture of the coagulant, in the process of absorbing urine, it is necessary to wait until the urine is completely infiltrated to exert the absorption function, and the paper cat litter after the urine is absorbed is easily lumpy. Indirectly affect its adsorption effect. In addition, the traditional paper cat litter particles are large, prone to gaps, resulting in a small contact area with urine, so the urine when the cat is excreted is more likely to penetrate into the bottom of the litter box to cause polluters.

Therefore, the inventors deeply feel that the various traditional cat litter currently used on the market have their own advantages and disadvantages, but still can not meet the needs of users, and the experience of the product design and manufacture for many years has been continuously studied. Improvement, and finally created a "paper cat sand manufacturing method" that can solve the above problems.

The main design purpose of the "paper cat litter manufacturing method" of the present invention is to provide a paper cat litter which is made of recycled waste paper and which is made into small particles, and then plated on the surface of the paper cat litter particles by cold plating. Coagulant coating to increase absorption and condensation, while adding natural materials such as tea leaves, coffee grounds or pine to create an environment suitable for cats to inhabit. When the cat excretes urine and contacts the paper cat litter particles, the coagulant coating on the surface can quickly absorb the urine, and when the amount is a certain amount, the paper cat litter particles can condense each other to form a block shape, except for easy cleaning. After use, the paper cat litter can also be directly rushed into the toilet to dissolve or pour into the incinerator for combustion, taking into account the inventors of environmental protection claims.

The invention is further described in detail below with reference to the drawings and embodiments.

The first drawing is a manufacturing flow chart of the "paper cat litter manufacturing method" of the present invention. .

The second drawing is a partial cross-sectional view of the paper litter particles of the present invention.

The third figure is a schematic cross-sectional view showing a part of the paper litter particles of the present invention condensed into a block.

Referring to the first figure, the present invention relates to a "paper cat litter manufacturing method", and the manufacturing process thereof is as follows: (a) placing the pulp raw material into a molding machine to form a granular paper cat litter, the granular paper cat litter may be a circle Shape, ellipse, square or other irregular shape, the particle size is about 0.15mm to 6mm; (b) the formed paper cat litter particles are placed in a low-power coating machine, a coagulant is added, and after cold forming The surface of the paper cat litter particles is coated with a coagulant coating to form a surface coagulant coating and an inner paper layer, and the thickness of the coagulant coating is determined by the size of the paper cat litter; (c) after plating The paper cat litter is placed in a dispersing machine, and a dispersing agent is added to re-separate the paper cat litter particles which are adhered together by the coagulant plating layer; (d) the separated paper cat litter is placed in the dryer The deodorant is added to be dried into a finished cat litter particle, and the deodorant can be tea residue, coffee grounds, pine or other natural organic matter suitable for cats to inhabit.

Please refer to the second and third figures. The finished product of the cat litter granules (1) completed by the above steps is placed in the litter box (4) as a place for cats to excrete, due to the paper cat litter particles (1) It consists of a coagulant coating (2) on the surface and a paper layer (3) on the inside. The particles are small and the overall absorption area is large. Therefore, when the cat excretes urine and contacts the paper cat litter particles (1), The surface of the coagulant coating (2) can quickly absorb the urine, when a certain amount of body, the paper cat litter particles (1) will condense with each other to form a block, feeding The main body only needs to take out the condensed paper cat litter granules (1), and then add new paper cat litter, which has the advantages of convenient cleaning and less pollution. In addition, the cat litter that absorbs the urine of the cat and then condenses into a block can be directly washed into the toilet to dissolve or pour into the incinerator for combustion, and is also an environmental concept.

In summary, the paper cat litter made by the "paper cat litter manufacturing method" has no shortcomings of the traditional mineral cat litter which is easy to generate dust and is easily contaminated, and the crystal cat litter has poor absorption effect and is difficult to clean. It uses recycled paper as material to make small granular paper cat litter and then cold-plating a coagulant coating on the surface to increase the absorption and condensation effect. At the same time, it can be added to natural materials such as tea residue, coffee grounds or pine to make it suitable for cats. In the habitat environment, in addition to easy to clean, after use, the paper cat litter can also be directly washed into the toilet to dissolve or pour into the incinerator to burn, taking into account environmental appealers.
