Respecting the generosity of nature

Almost 90% of all white bentonite reserves in Turkey are found in the areas around Ordu, Ünye and Fatsa. The company has 45 million tons* of bentonite in reserve, spread over 7 mines. This makes it a trustworthy partner that can always deliver.

Latest technology

Bentaş Bentonit’s 30,000 sqm (323,000 sq. foot) plant is situated in the Fatsa industrial zone, close to the mines. Using the latest technology, it produces cat litter that is hygienic and easy to use for pets and their owners. The plant’s drying capacity is 4 lines that handle approximately 260,000 mt/year.

The whiteness of the bentonite from these mines varies – between 75% and 95%. The mines also provide many other raw materials, allowing the company to offer a wide range of products to meet all its customers’ needs in terms of quality and price.

Highest quality

Bentaş Bentonit also has operating licenses for some very productive mines on the Black Sea coasts. Here, the highest quality calcium bentonite is mined, with the capacity to absorb water up to 4-5 times its volume. Another advantage of calcium bentonite, when compared to sodium bentonite, is that odor absorption is better.

The area where calcium bentonite can be mined is 6,000 hectares (23 sq. miles) and contains 5 mines with a reserve of approximately 10 million tons.

Research and development

The company’s R&D laboratory has a strong focus on efficiency improvement, as well as its work on new product development. As the company mission is to produce very high-quality products, its quality control department uses an extensive set of quality parameters for production checks.

Some figures:

• 720 tons per day
• 6 different analyses of each ton
• accounting for a total of 4,320 analyses every 24 hours

The wide variety of bentonite produced enables the company to supply cat litter based on each and every customer’s set of requirements.
