Malaysia 0.5-1 T/h Tofu Cat Litter Pellet Maker
The client’s raw materials—soybean dregs, corn flour, and cassava residue—lack inherent adhesiveness. High-temperature steam injection gelatinizes the starch and turns it into a strong natural binder, which keeps the cat litter pellets firm and resists crumbling. Consequently, the production process requires a cat litter pellet mill that includes a conditioner.
Thailand 1-2 T/h Bentonite Cat Litter Pelleting Machine
The Thai client selects bentonite as the raw material for producing pellet cat litter. Our cat litter pellet mill employs a ring-die pelletizing process. High-temperature steam conditioning optimizes the bentonite’s viscosity and plasticity, which effectively lubricates the pellet surface, prevents breakage and crumbling during extrusion or pelletizing, and reduces equipment wear. Additionally, proper conditioning moisture also helps improve the water absorption and deodorizing capacity of the cat litter pellets.
Canada 2-2.5 T/H Sawdust Cat Litter Pellet Machine
The client operates a sawmill that generates large quantities of sawdust daily. He aims to transform this wood waste into economically valuable pellet cat litter by purchasing a pelletizing system. Since the sawdust generates high heat under intense compression—softening the internal natural lignin to act as a natural binder—the cat litter pelletizer we configured for the client does not include a conditioner.
High-Performance Components of Cat Litter Pellet Machine
The performance and service life of a cat litter pellet machine depend largely on the quality of its core components. RICHI integrates advanced manufacturing technology, precision machining, and carefully selected industrial-grade parts to ensure stable operation, consistent pellet quality, and long-term production efficiency. From the drive system and pelletizing chamber to the ring die and feeding system, every component is engineered to withstand continuous industrial operation and deliver reliable performance for cat litter manufacturers worldwide.
Heavy-Duty Ring Die Pelletizing System
The heavy-duty ring die pelleting system is designed for continuous, large-scale production, with a capacity far exceeding that of flat die pellet mills.
The high-speed rotating ring die and pressure rollers exert a strong extrusion force on the material, producing compact, high-hardness cat litter pellets that are less prone to pulverization during storage, transportation, and use, with a pellet formation rate of over 95%.
Optimized Gear Drive System
Our cat litter pelleting equipment comes with a hardened gear transmission system, which offers excellent transmission efficiency and increases production capacity by 15% to 20% compared to belt-driven models.
The system has a high torque capacity and ample power output, ensuring long-term, high-load, continuous, and stable operation of the equipment; the direct gear drive structure also reduces operating noise and equipment vibration.
Wear-Resistant Alloy Components
The core components of the equipment, such as ring dies, pressure rollers, gears, and bearings, are all made of 42CrMo alloy steel and undergo carburizing and quenching heat treatment to improve surface hardness. This results in excellent wear resistance, effectively extending the service life of vulnerable parts, reducing the frequency of core component replacement, and saving long-term operating costs.
Automatic Lubrication System
Automatic lubrication systems overcome many drawbacks of traditional manual lubrication, enabling intelligent maintenance of critical moving parts of equipment. They can automatically add lubricating grease to key friction components such as pressure roller bearings and main shafts at regular intervals and in precise quantities, without requiring machine downtime.
This not only effectively reduces component wear, thus extending the service life of expensive components like bearings and pressure rollers, but also significantly reduces manual maintenance costs.
Stable Feeding System
The variable frequency feeding system uses a frequency converter to adjust the speed of the feeding motor, ensuring that materials enter the granulation chamber continuously and evenly, effectively avoiding output fluctuations caused by uneven feeding.
Thanks to frequency conversion control, the equipment can adapt to various raw materials with different characteristics. In addition, the feeder is equipped with an anti-bridging mechanism, which effectively prevents material bridging or clumping, ensuring continuous production.
Premium Main Motor
The equipment is equipped with a Siemens industrial-grade drive motor, which provides continuous and stable power output to the pellet mill, resulting in high efficiency and energy savings.
This stable performance reduces the impact of power fluctuations on the equipment, helping to extend its service life and lower long-term maintenance costs.

Global Customer Cases
0.5-1 T/H Wood Litter Pellet Machine for Sale Norway
The client uses spruce offcuts from local sawmills as raw material, but the moisture content and fiber characteristics vary with each batch. Their previous equipment frequently clogged, and the resulting cat litter pellets lacked structural integrity, leading to a waste rate exceeding 30%.
To address this, we supplied a cat litter pellet mill equipped with an interchangeable ring die system. The ring die compression ratio was specifically optimized for the properties of spruce. This allows the client to swap out the ring die within 15 minutes to accommodate variations in raw material moisture and fiber characteristics across different batches.

3-4 T/H Bentonite Cat Litter Pellet Machine for Sale Russia
The client’s raw materials are bentonite and montmorillonite powder. The mineral raw materials cause a much higher wear rate on the ring die during pelletizing than other materials, and they also easily clog the die holes during pelletizing. The client reports that their existing equipment frequently requires shutdowns for maintenance; the design capacity is 3 tons, but the actual output falls short of even 2 tons.
Therefore, our bentonite cat litter pellet machine uses a high-wear-resistant alloy ring die and specially polishes the die holes, which effectively reduces the friction resistance of bentonite inside the die holes. We also specifically optimize the compression ratio and hole arrangement of the ring die according to the viscous characteristics of bentonite to ensure stable forming.
5-6 T/H Tofu Cat Litter Pellet Machine for sale Korea
The old pelletizing equipment that the Korean company originally used has low production capacity and frequent breakdowns, and produces cat litter pellets with uneven density. The client’s raw materials are mainly soybean dregs and corn starch, which have poor flowability and easily form arches at the feed inlet, causing feed interruption.
However, our equipment uses a variable‑frequency feeding system that can automatically control the feed amount, avoiding material blockage or idling. After feeding, the forced feeder stably pushes the material into the pelletizing chamber, achieving continuous and stable material supply—this ensures consistent pellet density.
8-10 T/H Pine Kitty Litter Pellet Press for Sale USA
The client is a large pet product manufacturer that primarily produces high‑end wood cat litter. As US market demand for cat litter continues to grow, their existing production line with a capacity of 5 tons per hour can no longer handle the load.
To meet the client’s capacity requirement of 8–10 tons per hour, we have designed a solution that runs four cat litter pelletizers in parallel.
Each unit has its own feeding system, and the produced granules are fed into a shared cooling, screening, and packaging system. When any one machine breaks down or needs maintenance, the other three can continue running. If future market demand increases further, the client can easily add more equipment without rebuilding the entire production line.
