Despite the huge number of different fillers on sale, wood fillers are especially popular. And it's not just about the affordable price. The wood filler is completely natural, suitable for cats prone to allergies and kittens. Curious animals who love to taste everything will not suffer from it. For many, it is important that used compressed sawdust can be flushed down the toilet in small portions without fear of clogging the sewer. There are two types of wood fillers on sale - absorbent and clumping. The first option is cheaper, the second is more economical and more convenient to use. The main advantages of both types of filler are safety, biodegradability and natural pine aroma.

This absorbent filler features smaller granules. Made from high-quality light sawdust, it smells pleasant of pine needles and fresh wood. The granules instantly absorb liquid and retain odor well. The filler is made from very fine sawdust, so a small amount of it can be flushed down the toilet without fear of clogging the drain. Buyers are satisfied with the naturalness of the filler and its economical consumption. Many cats like the small granules, and the pine aroma masks unpleasant odors. The filler is inexpensive, but high quality. A package lasts one cat for a month. The downside is that you can’t spread it in a thick layer; the sawdust swells greatly and begins to fall over the edge of the tray.
Advantages and disadvantages
- Economical consumption
- Small light granules
- Can be flushed down the toilet
- Natural pine aroma
- The granules disintegrate into small sawdust
Top 4. Kuzya
Rating (2021): 4.62

The best price for absorbent filler This is the most inexpensive wood filler in the rating. It quickly absorbs liquid and is used sparingly.
- Characteristics
Country Russia
- Average price: 112 rub.
- Weight: 2.5 kg
- Absorbency: 4.5 l
Not the most popular, but high-quality filler made from large wood pellets. Compared to other brands, it does not have a strong smell, and the sawdust is not so fine. Absorbs liquid well; you don’t have to completely change the tray often. Despite the small volume of the package, it lasts a long time. Due to the large sawdust, the filler does not generate dust and is less likely to be dragged around the apartment. Many users buy this filler regularly. In reviews they indicate good value for money and no noticeable odor. Some people choose it because of its large granules. It's inexpensive but great for cat litter. Minus - it is not available in large volume bags.
Advantages and disadvantages
- Large granules
- No noticeable odor
- Doesn't generate dust
- Absorbs well
- Sold in small packages
Equipment, its cost
Of course, you will need the appropriate equipment to do this. We recommend using a ready-made OGM 1/5 line at first. Sawdust, shavings and dry peat can be used as raw materials. The latter, by the way, makes the production of cat litter even cheaper.
The cost of this type of line is about two million rubles. The most important element of the entire production is the granulator, but it will still not be possible to do without other equipment.
Let's consider all the components of the line separately:
- Chip grinder - costs about 180 thousand rubles.
- A dryer for raw materials (depending on power and volume) can cost anywhere from 400 thousand to 2.5 million rubles.
- The simplest granulator costs about 50 thousand, but the most reliable and functional models are sold for around 1.5 million. In the OGM-1/5 we reviewed, this structural part costs about one million.
- The pellet cooler will cost 400 thousand.
Note that it is still worth paying special attention to the granulator. The fact is that this line uses a fairly large and cumbersome model. In principle, you can purchase a more compact and lighter version, which can be installed directly in the workshop of a wood processing plant. In addition, such equipment can be installed in a furniture workshop, simultaneously producing another type of product.
As for packaging, it is best to take bags of 5, 10, 15 and 30 liters. We have already mentioned that you can produce them yourself.
The cost of equipment for this is about 150-200 thousand rubles. If you order packaging from third-party manufacturers, and even with the requirement to print your company’s logo on it, it will ultimately cost much more.
In principle, a small production of wood fillers can successfully use simple Zip Lock bags (within a couple of rubles apiece). In this case, it is much cheaper to order labels with the company logo from a third-party printing company.
Top 3. Vitaline Eco No. 1
Rating (2021): 4.65
1287 reviews from resources taken into account: Yandex.Market, Wildberries, Ozon
Suitable for kittens This filler has the smallest granules compared to other absorbent analogues from the rating. It is good for kittens.
- Characteristics
Country Russia
- Average price: 199 rub.
- Weight: 3 kg
- Absorbency: 4.5 l
The smallest absorbent wood filler in the rating is suitable for kittens. The granules are dense, light, with a pronounced aroma of pine needles. They absorb well and do not crumble into sawdust too quickly, so one litter in the cat litter lasts a long time. According to buyers, the quality of the filler is not inferior to more expensive analogues from other manufacturers. The downside is that small granules are not suitable for large cats. Otherwise the filler is excellent. Judging by the reviews, it is economically used and does not generate dust. Swollen sawdust does not stick to the paws much if you change the cat litter on time. According to user observations, it retains odor better than other absorbent wood fillers.
Advantages and disadvantages
- Small granules, suitable for kittens
- Good quality
- Retains odor for a long time
- Absorbs well, does not create dust
- Not suitable for large cats
Additional production options
But that's not all the benefits! The fact is that wood pellets for fillers can be used in a completely different capacity. So, if you use larger presses to mold them, they can be packaged and sold as fuel for barbecues and fireplaces.
On the contrary, if you crush sawdust (necessarily hardwood) to the finest possible consistency, then the granules are widely accepted among gardeners as an excellent means for improving the mechanical properties of the soil.
Generally speaking, in large cities these issues need to be thought through in advance, since competition can be quite intense, and therefore other types of products will help maintain profits.

The product is made from bentonite. It is presented on the market in several versions: odorless, with the aroma of freshness, lavender, and pine forest. There are products for large pets.
The aroma of the filler does not bother animals. It lasts for the first two days, and then gradually wears off. The product reliably removes ammonia fumes from secretions, which appear only on days 4-5 if the toilet is not cleaned.
Often the product is out of stock. Therefore, we recommend purchasing several packages at once to last for several months. Cost for 10 kg – from 500 rubles.
