OEM Bentonite Cat Litter Manufacturer & Private Label Supplier
Custom Private Label Solutions
100% Natural Sodium Bentonite | Clumps in 3 Seconds | 99.9% Dust-Free | OEM / ODM / Private Label
Aisha Pet is a bentonite cat litter supplier and manufacturer running its own factory in Dalian, Liaoning. We have been making clumping litter here for more than 20 years, and the site now turns out 300,000 tons a year across 60,000 square metres for brand owners, importers and distributors in over 80 countries.
Our OEM bentonite cat litter starts as natural sodium bentonite and passes through five stages of screening and negative-pressure air separation before it is bagged. It absorbs over 300% of its weight, sets a scoopable clump in under three seconds, and leaves the plant at 99.9% dust-free. We build private label cat litter programmes from the formula through to the printed bag: granule shape, scent, additive blend, pack format and artwork, with a minimum order of one 20ft container, around 24 to 25 tons.
Nothing ships before the batch passes testing, and every container goes out with a Certificate of Analysis. MSDS and SGS reports are on file and can be sent with the quote. If you already have a target spec, or a competitor sample you want matched, send either one over and we will come back with a costed breakdown.
Tight Clumping
Sodium bentonite swells on contact with liquid and locks into a solid mass in under three seconds. It is measured at 900 g and above after one minute and drop-tested from one metre without breaking apart.
Dust Free
Five stages of screening plus negative-pressure air separation hold residual dust at or below 0.1%, measured at the bagging station rather than at a single point on the line.
Odor Control
The clay's own pore structure does most of the work, and we can blend in activated carbon or coloured deodorant beads for brands that want the cue visible in the bag. Ammonia reduction measures above 90% over 24 hours.
Our Advantages
What separates a bentonite cat litter factory from a trading company: we own the mineral supply, the production line and the lab.
Premium Raw Mineral Source
We buy sodium bentonite from a small group of long-term mines in northern China and test every incoming lot for moisture, purity and particle distribution before it is allowed into the silo. No chemical binders go in, so the clumping comes from the clay itself. Higher swelling capacity means less litter per scoop, which is what your end customer notices when a bag lasts a week longer than the one they used before.
Advanced 5-Step Dust Removal Technology
Dust is the biggest single cause of retail complaints and returns in this category. Our line removes fine powder during crushing, drying and transfer with five stages of screening and negative-pressure air separation, instead of letting it settle into the bottom of the bag. Finished product measures at or under 0.1% dust. In practice that means fewer damaged-bag claims and fewer one-star reviews about white powder on the floor.
Ultra-Fast Clumping & Superior Odor Control
Absorption runs at 300% to 350% by weight. The granule starts setting the moment liquid hits it: under three seconds to a scoopable clump, hardening past 900 g within the first minute. Odour is handled in two ways. The mineral pores trap most of it, and for brands that want more we blend in activated carbon, antibacterial particles or blue and red deodorant beads. Ammonia reduction measures above 90% over 24 hours.
OEM / Private Label Cat Litter Solution
You pick the spec, we build the product. Granule shape (spherical 1.0-4.0 mm or crushed 0.5-2.5 mm), scent (unscented, lemon, lavender, baby powder, apple, green tea, coffee, jasmine), colour and additive package are all adjustable. Packaging runs from 5 kg and 10 kg retail bags up to 1-ton jumbo bags, in pillow, four-side seal, vacuum brick, woven or standing pouch formats, printed in-house to your artwork. This is the step of a private label cat litter programme that most factories hand to a third party, and it is where lead times usually slip. We keep it in our own building.
Scale Capacity & Strict QC Assurance
300,000 tons of annual capacity across a 60,000㎡ facility, with multiple automated bagging lines. A 20ft container (24 to 25 tons) is our standard MOQ for custom printed packaging; neutral-pack orders can start lower if you are testing a market. Lead time is 10 to 15 days for repeat runs, and 20 to 25 days when new print plates or cylinders are needed. Every batch is checked for moisture, absorption, clump hardness and dust index, then released against a Certificate of Analysis. We do not ship on averages; we ship on batch results.
Quality-First Advanced Production Line
What separates a bentonite cat litter factory from a trading company: we own the mineral supply, the production line and the lab.
1. Strict Raw Material Inspection (Source Control):
Incoming bentonite is sampled lot by lot. Lab checks cover moisture, purity, particle size distribution and heavy metals or other contaminants. Anything outside tolerance goes back to the supplier instead of into the silo. This is the cheapest place on the whole line to catch a problem, so we spend the time here.
2. Real-Time Inline Quality Monitoring (Process Control):
- Precision Automated Batching: computer-controlled dosing holds the formula steady from the first bag of a run to the last, so a repeat order behaves like the one before it.
- Temperature & Moisture Control: multi-point sensors regulate dryer temperature to hit a target moisture of 8% or below, which matters most for containers sitting in a humid port for six weeks.
- Multi-Stage Dust Removal Systems: extraction units run continuously along the line rather than at one final station, so fine powder never gets the chance to settle inside the bag.
- Sieving & Uniform Granulation: high-precision screening removes oversized and undersized particles. This is the difference between a granule that scoops clean and one that crumbles in the tray.
- Automated Weight & Seal Verification: inline checkweighers and seal-integrity scanners reject short-weight bags and weak seals before palletising, not after.
3. Comprehensive Pre-Shipment Batch Testing (Final Assurance):
Nothing leaves the site until the batch passes. Testing covers moisture and absorption, clump speed and hardness, odour control performance, dust index, and microbiological safety. Results go onto a Certificate of Analysis that travels with the shipment, and retention samples from each batch are held for 12 months so there is still something to test against if a claim arrives half a year later.
Products are only released for shipment after the Certificate of Analysis (COA) has passed / has been issued.

Every batch of bentonite cat litter is tested in our own lab before packing: moisture content, drop-impact clumping and heavy metal screening. MSDS and SGS test reports are available on request, and we can assemble the document pack your customs broker or retail buyer asks for. It is the paperwork most buyers ask to see before they move to a new bentonite cat litter supplier, so we keep it ready instead of preparing it from scratch for every enquiry. The facility holds ISO and BSCI certification, and we are used to working to an importer’s own checklist rather than only our own.
Certification Report
BSCI-tested, SGS-certified, ISO-certified, with biodegradable certification covering the plant-fibre ranges. Reports are shown below and full copies go out with the quotation. If your retail buyer asks for an audit we do not currently hold, tell us which one. We would rather say so up front and quote you the lead time than promise something we cannot evidence.
Customization Packaging
Packaging is usually the longest lead item in a private label cat litter order, so printing and bag-making happen in our own building. The formats below are the ones we tool for most often. Other shapes, closures and film structures can be quoted.
Pillow bag with heat-sealing handle
The standard retail format for 5 kg and 10 kg. The handle is formed in the same sealing step, so there is no separate component to tear loose.
Vacuum four-sided sealing package
Brick-shaped packs that stack tight on a pallet and hold granule shape through long sea freight. Picked most often by e-commerce sellers shipping direct to consumers.
Packing with handle and side edge
Gusseted bag with a cut-out handle. Stands upright on the shelf and gives you two extra side panels for ingredient and usage copy.
Woven bag three side seal packing
PP woven, used for 10 kg to 25 kg economy sizes in markets where price per kilo drives the shelf.
Four-Side Seal Standing Pouch
Flat-bottom pouch for premium positioning. Carries artwork on five panels and stands without a shelf tray.
Pillow bag
Our simplest bag format: no handle, no gusset, lowest cost per unit. Best suited to lighter pack sizes and to any shipment where the bag goes inside an outer box.
Paper box
Rigid carton, usually paired with a printed inner bag. Six printable panels and a shape that stands up on shelf without any support. Highest unit cost in the range, and the one we recommend when the pack itself is part of the brand.
Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about working with a bentonite cat litter manufacturer on OEM and bulk supply. If your question is not here, send it to info@aisha-pet.com and you will get a direct answer from the production team, not a sales script.
Are you a bentonite cat litter manufacturer or a trading company?
We are a bentonite cat litter manufacturer. The factory sits in Dalian, Liaoning, covers 60,000 square metres and runs 300,000 tons of annual output. We have been producing cat litter for over 20 years and supply brand owners, importers and distributors directly, with no trading company in between. The bentonite cat litter supplier named on your contract is the factory that runs the line.
Do you only sell stock products, or do you make OEM bentonite cat litter?
Both, and most of our volume is OEM bentonite cat litter built to a customer’s own specification: granule shape and size, scent, additive package, printed packaging. We also hold neutral-packed stock grades for buyers who would rather test a market before paying for print plates.
What is your MOQ for private label cat litter?
One 20ft container, roughly 24 to 25 tons, for custom printed packaging. Neutral packaging and trial orders can start lower. Tell us the volume you actually have in mind and we will tell you what is workable at that quantity, rather than pushing you straight to a full container.
How much capacity can your bentonite cat litter factory commit to each month?
The Dalian site runs 300,000 tons a year across several automated lines, which is enough to hold steady monthly allocations for contract customers. If you are planning a promotion or a seasonal peak, send the forecast early and we will reserve line time. Rush orders are possible, though they are far easier to schedule in advance than to squeeze in.
What private label and packaging options do you support?
PE and PET bags with handles, aluminium foil, vacuum-sealed brick packs, cartons, and 1-ton jumbo bags. Granule shape (spherical or crushed), colour and scent are all adjustable, and we print to your artwork in-house.
What granule sizes of bentonite cat litter do you supply for wholesale?
Spherical granules from 1.0 to 4.0 mm and crushed granules from 0.5 to 2.5 mm. Fine grades sell better in markets where consumers scoop daily, while larger granules suit multi-cat households and automatic litter boxes. We can also blend grades if you want behaviour somewhere in the middle.
How does bentonite cat litter compare with tofu cat litter?
Bentonite clumps harder and faster (under 3 seconds, 900 g and above) and costs less per litre, which is why it still holds most of the shelf in most markets. Tofu litter is lighter to ship, flushable and biodegradable, so it wins where disposal rules are strict or eco positioning matters. The trade-off is freight: bentonite has a bulk density of 0.85 to 0.95 g/cm3, so it costs more to move. Many of our customers carry both, bentonite in the value tier and tofu in the premium tier.
Can I visit or audit the bentonite cat litter factory?
Yes. We host factory visits in Dalian and support third-party audits including BSCI, ISO and SGS. If travelling is not practical, we can run a live video walkthrough of the dust removal line and the lab, and share batch COAs from whatever is running that week.
Is your bentonite cat litter safe, and what standards does it meet?
The litter is 100% natural sodium bentonite with no chemical binders. Each lot is screened for heavy metals and tested for microbiological safety before shipment. Certificates on file include MSDS, SGS test reports, ISO and BSCI. If your market requires product registration, we can put together the documentation pack importers are usually asked for.
