Abstract:
1. A method for manufacturing large animal litter for animals producing animal discharge and elimination, the method comprising: a transferring a cellulose fiber material comprised in a slurry form to a de-watering apparatus, b conveying the cellulose fiber material into a rotating drum to round out the protruding edges and form a absorbent particulate having a functional width of greater than 6 mm and further having an aspect ratio between 1-1 and 1-6 where the bulk density is greater than 12 pounds per cubic foot to form large animal litter, c combining a super absorbent polymer to the cellulose fiber material, d passing the absorbent particulate to a dryer for removal of a portion of the moisture contained therein to form large animal litter, e whereas the large animal litter is operatively configured to absorb a portion of the fluid from animal discharge and elimination.
