Introduction: Scaling Pain Points of Cat Litter Businesses & LANE’s Solution Direction

With the continuous expansion of the global cat litter market, more and more cat litter businesses are accelerating their large-scale transformation to seize market opportunities. However, the drawbacks of traditional production modes have become increasingly prominent, becoming a bottleneck restricting development.

In traditional cat litter production, processes such as raw material pretreatment, granulation, drying, and packaging are equipped with independent equipment, leading to disjointed connections between links. This not only causes material loss as high as 15%-20% during transfer but also requires a large number of manual operations to coordinate production, resulting in high labor costs.

More critically, inconsistent process parameters between independent equipment leads to unstable core quality of cat litter products—particle size unevenness, large differences in water absorption, and easy fragmentation, which seriously affect consumer trust and market competitiveness.

To address these pain points, LANE (Henan LANE Heavy Industry), a professional cat litter production equipment manufacturer with over 20 years of industry experience, has developed an integrated pellet production line solution tailored for cat litter businesses. This solution integrates the entire production process from raw material input to finished product packaging, realizing collaborative operation of equipment, processes, and control systems.

Up to now, it has helped many cat litter enterprises at home and abroad break through the bottleneck of large-scale production. This guide will take LANE’s practical experience as a reference to deeply analyze how to use integrated pellet production line solutions to achieve efficient and stable large-scale production, providing valuable references for cat litter businesses facing scaling challenges.

What Is an Integrated Pellet Production Line Solution? Core Advantages for Cat Litter Production

For cat litter businesses that are new to large-scale transformation, it is crucial to first clarify the definition and core value of an integrated pellet production line solution. Simply put, an integrated pellet production line solution (such as LANE’s mature solution) is a customized production system that integrates all processes of cat litter production.

It covers raw material pretreatment (crushing, mixing of wet soybean residue, wet bentonite, etc.), granulation, low-temperature drying, cooling, screening, and finished product packaging.

It realizes the integration of equipment configuration, process design, and intelligent control, and can be flexibly adjusted according to different cat litter types and production needs.

Compared with traditional discrete production modes, this integrated solution has particularly prominent core advantages for cat litter production, which can be summarized as follows:

LANE’s integrated solution covers a variety of production capacity ranges from 3t/h small batch to 50t/h large scale, and will reserve 10%-15% of production capacity redundancy for enterprises to cope with market demand fluctuations;
Intelligence level: The degree of intelligence directly affects production efficiency and quality stability. It is recommended to choose solutions equipped with standard PLC intelligent control systems, which can realize real-time monitoring and automatic adjustment of key parameters such as raw material humidity and granulation speed. LANE’s integrated solution is equipped with an intelligent control system as standard, which can greatly reduce manual intervention;
Customization capability: Different cat litter businesses have differences in raw material sources, product positioning, and environmental protection requirements. Manufacturers need to have strong customization capabilities. LANE’s professional R&D team provides one-on-one customization services, adjusting process routes and equipment configurations according to the actual situation of enterprises;
After-sales guarantee: The integrated production line has high technical content, and perfect after-sales service is crucial. It is necessary to confirm whether the manufacturer can provide full-cycle services such as installation and commissioning, operator training, and long-term operation and maintenance.
