Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a method for producing granular material for treating manure of dogs and cats, and to a granular material obtained by the method.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art As a pet excrement disposal material, there are a large number of inorganic minerals such as bentonite and zeolite, but the general fact is that they are heavy and inconvenient to carry and handle. However, it is uneconomical and has poor deodorizing ability, and unpleasant feeling remains in indoor use. Because of this, pulp papers have been molded into granular materials, but they are lighter and more flammable than minerals.However, these materials have a low water absorption and retention capacity for liquid excreta and must be consumed in large quantities. In addition, the collected and stored liquid leaks from the water absorbing material during the processing after use. There is also a wood-based material, but there is a drawback in the treatment that it is difficult to remove excrement because the solidified state is gel-like. In addition, the processing material formed into a paper grain has poor processability of the raw material and requires a high production cost. Furthermore, antibacterial activity can hardly be expected. In addition, zeolite is blended with clay containing silica sand particles,
A two-layer embodiment in which a surface layer of a solidification accelerator is formed on the surface of an inner layer of a kneaded and solidified granular core (Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 3-279)
Although 21) has been proposed, it has not been implemented because the production is troublesome and the cost is high.

[0003]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been made in view of the above-mentioned circumstances, and has a light and flammable coconut palm which has a thick fiber layer on the outer periphery, has high water absorption, high water retention, and has high water absorption. Focusing on the fact that dry powder and wood flour are the main raw materials, and provide a low-cost and high-efficiency pet manure processing material having antibacterial activity.

[0004]

In order to achieve the above object,
In the present invention, the total amount is 100, and the main raw materials are 10 to 20 bulk ratios of coconut real dry powder having an apparent specific gravity of 0.12 to 0.15, 30 to 70 bulk ratio of bentonite powder, and 5 to 5 water absorbent polymer powders. 30% by volume of wood flour and 50% to 80% by weight of wood flour are uniformly mixed, an antibacterial agent is added thereto, water is further added, and the mixture is granulated. It is a manure processing material and its manufacturing method.

Further, the present invention provides a dog and cat excrement treating material in which the antibacterial agent is a 10-fold solution of essential oil, and a method for producing the same.
Furthermore, granulation is performed when the particle size distribution is 1.3 mm to 2 mm.
Weight%, 2mm to 3.5mm is 60% by weight, 3.5mm
It is a dog and cat excrement treating material that is performed so that 4.5 mm becomes 20% by weight.

[0006]

[Examples] Materials Compounding ratio Coconut fruit dry powder Bulk ratio 10% Bentonite powder (produced in Niigata Prefecture) Bulk ratio 30% Water-absorbing polymer powder not available (Kao water-absorbing polymer EQ-K white powder) Bulk ratio 5% Sugiwood powder Bulk ratio 55 % Total amount 100% A total of 100% of each of the above-mentioned materials is uniformly mixed, and a 10-fold solution of essential oil is further added as an antibacterial agent. At this time, the particle size distribution was adjusted to 20% by weight, 2 mm to 3.5 mm by adjusting the number of rotations, the inclination angle, and the spray amount of water of the granulator.
Is 60% by weight, 3.5mm to 4.5mm is 20% by weight,
Those less than 1.3 mm and more than 4.5 mm are removed. Then, the granulated material containing the granulated water is dried at 150 ° C. with a hot air drier to obtain a particle size of 1.3 mm to 4.5.
The treated material of the present invention, which is a granulated product of mm, is obtained.

[0007] In the above, the dried coconut powder is selected from a layer of a fiber having a thickness of about 25 cm and a thick outer periphery,
A material obtained by crushing only the fiber layer except for milky sap inside is used. 2 so that the hardening performance is not hindered
mm or less. With respect to the water-absorbing polymer powder, similar results were obtained with other company's products (Lion Corporation, Bascal 700, polymer water-absorbing agent, etc.). Similar results were obtained with other companies having a water absorption of 400 to 1000 times that of physiological saline 40 g / g or more.

[0008]

The operation and effect of the present invention When 20 ml of a washing bottle was poured with a physiological saline solution (2% salt) into the treated material obtained according to the present invention, the absorption was efficiently performed, and only that portion became a nodule-like portion, and a lump portion was formed. Only was easily taken out.
Furthermore, the water content is 15 to 20% and the bulk specific gravity is 0.4 to 0.5.
It was light and the weight of the hardened part could be reduced. While the liquid excrement disposal material for wood-based pets has a gel-like nodule shape, the present invention has a nodular shape as a lump, and it has been confirmed that only that part can be easily taken out and post-treatment is much easier. Was.

Further, the treated material obtained by the present invention has a lighter weight than the conventional crushed bentonite / zeolite or bentonite / zeolite-mixed material, because it uses a dried coconut powder as a main raw material and contains a water-absorbing polymer powder. It has excellent water absorption and storage power, and the addition of bentonite and wood flour increases storage power and deodorization power. In addition, since the aggregate is formed into a lump as described above, the amount discarded at one time is small, and the deodorizing power is further increased. And since an antibacterial agent is added, the propagation of various bacteria can be prevented. It is desirable to use essential oils (aromatic oils) obtained from plants as this antibacterial agent in order not to damage dogs and cats by chemical reaction. One of the advantages is that flammable coconut palm powder or wood powder can be easily incinerated.

Then, the granulation is performed with a particle size distribution of 1.3 mm to 2 m.
m is 20% by weight, 2mm to 3.5mm is 60% by weight,
In an embodiment in which 3.5 mm to 4.5 mm is 20% by weight, fine particles of lightweight particles can be prevented from penetrating between the particles and penetrating the urine deeply, and can be quickly solidified in a small amount. .

[0011] As described above, the manure treating material according to the present invention comprises:
It is guaranteed to be a great gospel for dog and cat breeders as it is excellent in light weight handling, consumption efficiency, deodorizing power, flammability and economy.
