Abstract: A convenient user-friendly method to sharpen the rotary blade of a rotary cutter assembly without having to turn the rotary cutter assembly upside down. To this end, a rotary cutter assembly is provided with a special access door which is preferably securely fastened and/or locked during cutting and use of the rotary cutter assembly. When it is desired to sharpen the rotary blade, the door is unfastened and opened to permit access to the rotary blade. The rotary blade can then be clamped or otherwise secured and subsequently sharpened with a grinding wheel or other sharpening tool.

Abstract: A litter composition and a method for manufacturing a litter composition including a clumpable litter product coated with PTFE in order to reduce dustiness of the litter product. In one embodiment, the litter product contains a sodium bentonite clay substrate in combination with the PTFE additive. In another embodiment, the litter product contains a mixture of calcium bentonite clay and a guar gum additive in order to provide a clumpable litter product. According to one method, a water dispersion of a PTFE resin is sprayed onto the mixture clay product while the product is falling through the air to form fibers which attract and trap dust particles emitted from the clay mixture without causing premature clumping of the mixture.
