Tofu Cat Litter Lavender | 1.5–3 mm Clumping Pellets | 3,000 kg MOQ OEM
Tofu fiber granules and sodium bentonite run on two separate forming lines in the same plant, then meet at a twin-shaft mixer where the ratio is dosed by weight against the order specification. The tofu fraction is extruded and dried first; the bentonite is milled, activated, granulated and screened on its own line. They are not co-extruded, and the bentonite is not a coating sprayed onto tofu pellets. Keeping the two streams separate until blending is what allows the mineral share to be changed from one order to the next without re-tooling the tofu die.

Blend ratios and what changes with them
Standard tofu-to-bentonite ratios run from 60:40 to 80:20. Moving toward the tofu end lowers dust and bulk density and shortens dispersion time in water; moving toward the mineral end increases clump hardness and reduces the tendency of the clump to smear on the box floor during scooping. The ratio is fixed per order and recorded in the batch formulation file.
For private-label programs that need a defined performance position rather than a generic hybrid, the 70/25/3/2 ratio - 70% tofu fiber, 25% sodium bentonite, 3% SAP, 2% zeolite - is the formulation we run most often for European and premium mid-market briefs. The SAP fraction is dosed at the mixer by weight, not applied as a surface treatment; the zeolite sits in the same fine cut as the bentonite. Cassava starch can replace part of the tofu fraction when a harder, less friable green strength is required, but it changes the flushability profile and should be confirmed against the destination market's labeling requirements.
Ordering
3,000 kg minimum. Samples in 5–7 days against a written specification; production 25–45 days depending on ratio, granule size, and packaging. What we need before quoting: the tofu-to-bentonite ratio, tofu diameter, bentonite cut, target clumping and dust values, bag size and construction, and the loading method - printed bags direct-loaded, woven sacks, cartons, totes, or palletized. Annual capacity across the Liaoning and Anhui plants is 400,000–500,000 tons, which is what allows a 3,000 kg trial and a 20-ton repeat to run on the same line to the same formulation record.

Finished Product Warehousing
Raw materials undergo twin-shaft mixing with water added to achieve a moisture content of 16%–20%. (Note: Alkali addition is required for producing premium-grade products, whereas ordinary ore sand does not require it.)
The mixed raw materials are fed at a constant rate into a twin-roll extrusion machine to form cakes. These cakes are then stockpiled for a minimum of seven days before drying.
The extruded semi-finished products are fed into a dryer; the temperature is controlled to reduce the moisture content of the granules to 3%–5%.
The dried semi-finished products enter the crushing hopper and are conveyed via belt to a vertical-shaft crusher. The crushed granules are screened; those meeting the 1–2 mm or 1–4 mm specifications are collected in bulk bags, while granules larger than 4 mm are recirculated through the crusher.
The screened granules undergo a second drying process to reduce moisture to ≤3%. They then pass through a rotary screen for final sizing and are collected in bulk bags, awaiting coating and packaging.
Packaging is performed according to production order requirements. Before packaging, materials undergo vibrating screening for dust removal, and a "first-article inspection" is conducted; packaging proceeds only if the product meets quality standards regarding clumping and dust levels. During packaging, attention is paid to batch coding, bag weight, sealing, quantity, and the attachment of accurate identification tags.
Finished products are stored in the warehouse according to established protocols, sorted by product type and arranged neatly.

FAQ
Q: Can the bentonite share be increased without changing the tofu granule?
A: Yes. The two streams are formed separately. Raising the mineral share from, say, 25% to 35% changes the blend recipe and the mixer setpoints; the tofu extrusion die stays as it is. What shifts is the weight per liter, the clump hardness, and the flushability profile - the last of which should be re-checked before any flushable claim is printed.
Q: Will this blend run in automatic litter boxes without the rake dragging a smeared clump?
A: It can, but the particle cut needs to be specified for the box type. The 2–4 mm cut is more commonly specified for automatic boxes; the finer 1–2 mm cut tracks less but can be carried by some rake mechanisms. Clump release from the box surface depends on the balance between the SAP and bentonite fractions. We recommend a sample trial on the buyer's target box model before a full container is committed.
Q: The destination is a humid or tropical market. Will the tofu fraction pick up moisture in the bag?
A: Finished moisture is held at 6.0–8.0% before bagging, and moisture-barrier liners are available where specified. The larger risk on a tropical route is condensation inside the container during temperature swings, not the litter's initial moisture. For those lanes we quote desiccant sachets in the master carton and a container lining specification as part of the loading scheme.
Q: Does a tofu-bentonite blend qualify for a flushable claim in the EU?
A: Not as a blended product. Flushability and dust are separate test domains, and the presence of sodium bentonite in the blend means the mineral fraction will not disperse. If a flushable claim is required for the EU market, the all-plant tofu formulation is the appropriate SKU. REACH documentation is issued for whichever formulation is ordered.
