Gormeet in-house laboratory testing equipment

Every Batch Tested.
Zero Compromise.

In-house lab covers clumping, absorption, hardness, dust, diameter, and moisture. Bacterial safety verified by accredited third-party laboratories.

7+ In-House Tests Per Batch Third-Party Bacterial Certification Raw Materials Verified

Contrôle Qualité Complet & Safety System

Three-tier quality control mechanism ensures every link — from raw material intake to finished product shipment — is monitored, tested, and traceable. Safety baseline is never compromised.

01

Incoming Inspection

Raw Material Gate
  • All plant raw materials tested for moisture, ash, aflatoxin B₁, heavy metals (Pb / As), and salmonella
  • Non-conforming materials immediately rejected at the gate — zero tolerance
  • Core starch materials sourced from food-grade supply chains with complete traceability reports available upon request
02

In-Process Patrol Inspection

Real-Time Production Control
  • Spot-check sampling every 2 hours for particle size, gelatinization degree, moisture content, and forming hardness
  • Production parameters adjusted in real time based on inspection data
  • Eliminates batch-to-batch performance drift — every bag within the same order performs identically
03

Outgoing Full Inspection

Final Release Gate
  • Finished batches tested against 12 performance metrics: clumping time, clump strength, absorption rate, dust rate, deodorization rate, disintegration resistance, and more
  • Hygiene indicators re-tested before release — only pass-grade batches ship
  • Every shipment backed by traceable batch records and Certificates of Analysis

Neuf Tests sur Chaque Lot

Our in-house lab runs these nine core tests on every production batch before it leaves the factory floor.

💧

Clumping Speed

Measures how fast granules absorb liquid and form solid clumps. Target: under 3 seconds for premium grades.

In-House
📊

Absorption Capacity

Liquid uptake measured as multiple of litter weight. Target: minimum 300% absorption for plant-based litters.

In-House
🔨

Clump Hardness

Force required to break a formed clump. Harder clumps survive scooping without crumbling — critical for user experience.

In-House
🌫️

Dust Rate

Precise dust measurement using controlled air-flow method. Premium grade target: below 0.5%. Low dust means healthier cats and cleaner homes.

In-House
📏

Diameter & Particle Size

Laser-based verification that granule diameter matches spec within tolerance. Consistent size = consistent performance.

In-House
💧

Moisture Content

Oven-dry method to confirm moisture is within safe range (typically under 10%). Too much moisture = clumping failure and mold risk.

In-House
🔍

Appearance Inspection

Visual evaluation of particle color uniformity, shape consistency, surface smoothness, and impurities. First quality indicator customers see.

In-House
⬇️

Drop Resistance

Clump's resistance to breaking when dropped from 1-meter height. Tests durability during scooping and disposal. Pass rate ≥90%.

In-House

12-Hour Stability

Clump's structural stability over 12 hours. Evaluates disintegration, expansion, and surface softening. Critical for daily scooping.

Des Matières Premières Visibles

We don't just claim quality ingredients — we keep reference samples of every raw material we use. Each incoming batch is compared against our certified standard.

Contrôle de Lot et Cohérence des Commandes

Lab testing verifies one batch. Batch control ensures every batch meets the same standard — order after order.

Batch Tracking System
Every lot receives a unique batch ID linked to raw material source, production line, date, and operator — full forward and backward traceability.
QC at Every Stage
Quality checkpoints at raw material intake, in-process production, finished goods, and pre-shipment — no stage skips, no exceptions.
Hold & Release
Finished goods quarantined until lab tests pass. Only the QC manager can authorize release — failed batches never ship.
COA with Every Shipment
Each container includes a Certificate of Analysis with actual test values for all 7 dimensions — real data you can verify, not just pass/fail.
Tolerance Standard
Pre-defined tolerance ranges for every metric. Values outside spec trigger a hold — no negotiated exceptions, no "close enough" shipments.
Customer Sample Retention
Retained samples from every batch kept for 12 months. Quality complaints investigated against the retained sample — accountability built in.
