  • Method of producing clumping animal litter composition and the composition
    Patent number: 7856946
    Abstract: The instant invention is directed towards a method of preparing a clumping animal litter comprising a combination of a high molecular weight polymer, a gum, and cellulosic components. The invention particularly relates to a method of preparing a clumping animal litter that comprises a homogenous mixture of anionic polyacylamide, a guar gum, grist and optionally cellulosic fines in combination with one or more sources of cellulosic material, thereby providing a litter with enhanced absorption, clumping size and hardness.

  • Yellow pine wood animal litter method of manufacture
    Patent number: 5927049
    Abstract: A method for processing yellow pine wood products into pellets for use as animal litter. The process includes the steps of collecting and drying yellow pine material and drying the wood material into a grist. The grist is moisturized by exposure to steam before placement into a pellet forming device that applies heat and pressure to the grist. The formed pellets are deposited into bags and sealed for shipment. The pellets are used as animal litter that is highly absorbent, biodegradable, odor controlling, dustless, and will remain smooth and non-fur-engaging through continued handling.
