The Litter-Robot 4 is a self-cleaning litter box that automates the scooping process, reducing odors and the amount of time you spend maintaining it. It utilizes a rotating globe and sifting mechanism to separate waste from clean litter.
Here's a breakdown of how it works:
- Cat Enters: A cat enters the globe-shaped unit to use the litter box.
- Weight Sensor Activation: A weight sensor detects the cat's presence and triggers a timer after the cat exits.
- Rotation Cycle: After a preset delay (usually a few minutes), the globe begins to rotate.
- Sifting Process: As the globe rotates, the clean litter sifts through a screen or filter inside the globe, separating it from the clumps of waste.
- Waste Collection: The clumps of waste are deposited into a waste drawer located in the base of the unit.
- Globe Returns to Home Position: Once the waste is deposited, the globe rotates back to its original position, leveling the clean litter.
- Odor Control: An integrated odor trap system helps neutralize litter box odors.
- Multi-Cat Suitability: Designed to be suitable for up to four cats.
In summary, the Litter-Robot 4 automates litter box cleaning by rotating a globe to sift waste into a drawer, offering convenience and odor control.
