Abstract

See full text

A method whereby, when a plurality of granulators are used for continuous production of animal litter from a molding material composed mainly of bentonite, it is possible to minimize any significant reduction in the amount of particulates granulated by the granulator and efficiently and continuously produce litter. Specifically, during granulation of particulates, the particle diameters of a prescribed number of the particulates granulated by the granulators are measured either continuously or at prescribed intervals for each granulator, the mean particle diameter of the particulates at the time of measurement is calculated for each granulator, and when the mean particle diameter of the particulates granulated by any one granulator of the granulators exceeds a first particle diameter, granulation is halted for the granulator in which the mean particle diameter of the particulates exceeds the first particle diameter, or when the average of the mean particle diameters of the particulates for all of the granulators exceeds a second particle diameter which is set to be a smaller particle diameter than the first particle diameter, granulation is halted for the granulator in which the greatest mean particle diameter of particulates among the granulators.
