METHOD OF PRODUCING ANIMAL LITTER INCLUDING BENTONITE

摘要

An object of the present disclosure is to provide a method of producing animal litter containing bentonite that minimizes blocking of the path of conveyance by bentonite during production. The method of the present disclosure is as follows.;A method of producing animal litter including bentonite, the method comprising a step of forming, from a starting material for animal litter containing bentonite, a starting mixture that contains 10 to 60 mass % of granules that remain on an 8.0 mm-aperture sieve and 40 to 90 mass % of granules that pass through an 8.0 mm-aperture sieve, a step of conveying the starting mixture on a path of conveyance, a step of loading the starting mixture that has been conveyed on the path of conveyance into a granulator capable of pulverizing and granulation, to pulverize at least the granules remaining on the 8.0 mm-aperture sieve while forming a granulated product, and a step of drying the granulated product.
