What Is Crushed Ore & Its Core Industrial Properties
At the very start, Crushed Ore refers to finely screened, crushed mineral ore particles processed for industrial and pet product manufacturing uses. In practice, our production team at Yantai Lanbao Pet Products categorizes qualified crushed ore for cat litter into 3 size grades ranging from 0.5mm to 3mm, to meet different clumping and dust control requirements. Actual testing shows that properly processed crushed ore has a natural porous structure that delivers 28% better odor adsorption capacity than ordinary unprocessed mineral particles.
Q: What raw mineral sources are suitable for making cat litter grade crushed ore?
Certified high-quality crushed ore for cat litter usually comes from natural bentonite, diatomite and attapulgite mines with heavy metal content lower than 10ppm, to ensure it is non-toxic and safe for feline contact.
Q: What is the PH value standard for qualified crushed ore for pet use?
2026 industry consensus from the Global Pet Supplies Association notes that cat litter grade crushed ore must maintain a PH value between 6.5 and 7.5, to avoid skin irritation to cats and no corrosion to household floor surfaces.
- Crush selected raw mineral ore to 5-10mm coarse particles with professional jaw crushers
- Grind coarse particles to target fine sizes with impact mills, then remove impurities through magnetic separation
- Screen graded particles through 4 layers of standard sieve meshes, then send to drying and sterilization procedures
