With the growing demand for eco-friendly and absorbent cat litter materials, feldspar has become a promising raw material for cat litter manufacturing in Bangladesh. Feldspar’s abundant availability, chemical stability, and unique porous characteristics make it an excellent choice for use in pet products. However, achieving the ideal particle size—around 200 mesh—is vital for ensuring proper absorbency and clump formation. To achieve this, an efficient and precise grinding process using advanced equipment is necessary. Shanghai Zenith Machinery Co., Ltd. offers state-of-the-art grinding solutions for feldspar and other mineral materials, helping industries in Bangladesh enhance production quality and efficiency.
Bangladesh’s pet care industry is expanding rapidly, with cat ownership steadily increasing in urban and suburban areas. This trend has led to a growing demand for high-quality cat litter products. Traditional clay-based litters are being replaced by mineral-based alternatives like feldspar due to their enhanced absorption capacity and environmental friendliness. Proper grinding of feldspar to 200 mesh ensures an optimized texture that can effectively lock in moisture and reduce odor, offering a more hygienic and sustainable cat litter product.
Feldspar is a crystalline mineral that requires controlled grinding to achieve the appropriate particle size distribution for use in pet litter applications. Grinding it to a 200-mesh specification results in particles fine enough for strong absorbency yet coarse enough to maintain structural integrity during use. Fine grinding also improves the uniformity of the material, enhancing its behavior when processed into pellets or granulated forms for packaging.
Shanghai Zenith Machinery Co., Ltd. provides robust solutions to achieve this level of precision grinding. By combining experience, innovation, and advanced milling technologies, Zenith ensures consistent particle size, energy efficiency, and minimal environmental impact.
To meet the specific requirement of grinding feldspar to 200 mesh for cat litter production, the following two grinding mills from Shanghai Zenith Machinery Co., Ltd. are highly recommended:
The MTW Trapezium Grinding Mill is ideal for medium-to-fine powder production, including feldspar grinding. It combines European technology and innovative design to deliver high operational reliability and superior performance. The mill features a unique curved blade design, environmentally friendly dust filtering system, and an adjustable output fineness ranging from 1.6 mm to as fine as 0.045 mm, easily achieving a 200-mesh specification.
| Model | Max. Feed Size (mm) | Final Size (mm) | Capacity (t/h) | Main Motor (kW) | Fan Motor (kW) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| MTW110 | <30 | 1.6–0.045 | 3–9 | 55 | 55 |
| MTW175G | <40 | 1.6–0.045 | 9.5–25 | 160 | 200 |
| MTW215G | <50 | 1.6–0.045 | 15–45 | 280 | 315 |
This series provides flexible capacity ranges, which allows manufacturers in Bangladesh to select models suited to their production scale. Additionally, its advanced air duct design minimizes energy loss and reduces power consumption, which is essential for cost-effective industrial operations.
The XZM Ultrafine Grinding Mill is another premier option, specifically designed for producing ultrafine powders and achieving up to 2500 mesh fineness. For cat litter applications that require ultra-smooth granularity, the XZM mill ensures uniform fineness, minimal residue, and superior particle shape. Its energy-efficient performance and advanced air classification system make it an excellent addition for feldspar processing plants in Bangladesh aiming for premium-grade cat litter material.
| Model | Working Diameter (mm) | Max Feed Size (mm) | Final Size (mesh) | Output (kg/h) | Main Motor Power (kW) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| XZM221 | Φ800 | ≤20 | 325–2500 | 500–4500 | 75 |
| XZM268 | Φ1680 | ≤20 | 325–2500 | 5000–25000 | 315 |
The process typically begins with raw feldspar being crushed into smaller pieces through primary crushers. The pre-crushed material is then fed into the grinding mill—either the MTW Trapezium or XZM Ultrafine Grinding Mill—depending on the needed product fineness. The mill grinds the material with controlled speed, using its integrated classifier to separate fine and coarse particles. The final product, usually at 200 mesh, is collected and processed further into granular or pelletized form for cat litter packaging.
In the context of Bangladesh’s evolving manufacturing landscape, integrating automated grinding systems from Zenith can significantly improve productivity and consistency. The equipment’s modular design allows for scalable setups, making it ideal for both small and large-scale producers.
Sustainability is an essential factor in modern industrial operations. Zenith’s mills are designed with low-emission systems that help reduce dust and waste during feldspar grinding. Additionally, their energy-efficient operation reduces the overall carbon footprint, aligning perfectly with Bangladesh’s commitment to sustainable industrial development. The recyclable nature of mineral-based cat litter adds further environmental value, reducing landfill waste compared to traditional clay-based alternatives.
Shanghai Zenith Machinery Co., Ltd. has established itself as a global leader in the design and manufacture of industrial grinding equipment. The company’s expertise extends across minerals, construction materials, and chemical industries. For the Bangladeshi market, Zenith not only supplies high-performance grinding mills but also provides comprehensive technical support, including installation, training, and maintenance services. This ensures long-term machine reliability and customer satisfaction.
The feldspar grinding process plays a vital role in producing high-quality cat litter suitable for modern consumer demands in Bangladesh. By employing advanced mills such as the MTW Trapezium Grinding Mill and XZM Ultrafine Grinding Mill from Shanghai Zenith Machinery Co., Ltd., manufacturers can achieve optimal particle size distribution, operational efficiency, and sustainable performance. With continuous technological innovation and after-sales support, Zenith remains a trusted partner in advancing Bangladesh’s mineral processing and pet care industries.
