Abstract
A disposal material for animal excretions is granules of a mixed material which contains (i) 60-90 parts of weight of powdered cedar wood material (cuttings, shavings and sawdust) and/or the cedar wood materials remaining as the residues after extracting cedar oil from those cedar wood materials, having sizes of less than or equal to 10 mesh, and (ii) 5-15 parts of weight of a powdered binder. The granules thus manufactured have a bulk density of 0.25-0.6 g/cm3 and an absorption capacity of 1.1-2.0 times its own weight. This disposal material for animal excretions is 100% natural organic, and can be incinerated after use. It has antibacterial, repellant, and fragrant properties, and can be flushed down the toilet.
Claims10
A disposal material for animal excretions, which is granules of a powder mixture, comprising:
- (i) 60-90 parts of weight of powdered cedar wood materials and/or cedar wood materials remaining as the residues after extracting cedar oil from those powdered cedar wood materials, having sizes less than or equal to 10 mesh, and (ii) 5-15 parts of weight of a powdered binder, having a bulk density of 0.25-0.6 g/cm3, with an absorption capacity of 1.1-2.0 times its own weight.
A manufacturing method of the disposal material for animal excretions comprising:
- (i) a mixing process to mix uniformly at a rotational speed of 300-500 rpm a powder mixture of 60-90 parts of weight of powdered cedar wood materials and/or cedar wood materials remaining as the residues after extracting cedar oil from those powdered cedar wood materials, having sizes less than or equal to 10 mesh, and 5-15 parts of weight of a powdered binder, (ii) a granulation process to granulate the wet mixture obtained by the mixing process as above referred, and (iii) a drying process to dry by hot-air the wet granules obtained by the granulation process to get the dried granules having a bulk density of 0.25-0.6 g/cm3 and an absorption capacity of 1.1-2.0 times its own weight.
A manufacturing method of the disposal material for animal excretions comprising:
- (i) a mixing process to mix uniformly at a rotational speed of 300-500 rpm a powder mixture of (a) 60-90 parts of weight of powdered cedar wood materials and/or cedar wood materials remaining as the residues after extracting cedar oil from those powdered cedar wood materials, having sizes less than or equal to 10 mesh, (b) 3-10 parts of weight of a powdered highly water absorbable resin, and (c) 5-15 parts of weight of a powdered binder, (ii) a granulation process to granulate the wet mixture obtained by the mixing process as above referred, and (iii) a drying process to dry by hot-air the wet granules obtained by the granulation process to get the dried granules having a bulk density of 0.25-0.6 g/cm3 and an absorption capacity of 1.5-3.0 times its own weight.
