In-House Laboratory: We Test Everything We Can Ourselves

Gormeet operates an on-site quality control laboratory equipped with professional-grade testing instruments. Every production batch goes through our internal testing pipeline before release.

Six Tests on Every Batch

Our in-house lab runs these six 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.

Raw Materials You Can See

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.

Test Standards by Grade

Clear pass/fail criteria for each parameter. These standards apply across all our plant-based cat litter products.

2

Production Line

Mid-shift spot checks on key parameters

3

Finished Product

Full 6-test panel on completed bags

4

Bacterial Sample

Sent to certified external lab

5

Certificate Issued

COA attached before shipment

Batch Control & Order Consistency

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.
