Rufi cat scrapers

1. The sisal line

A white, four strand with the certificate of quality (the guarantee of a suitable coil, and a long enough yarn used to strand the rope), thickness 12 mm. Most of accessible scrapers have the columns wound with a thin, made of 3 strands rope usually 6-8mm and the used sisal is of the second quality (the rope is wound of pieces of yarn).

It is very economic to apply this kind of rope because it is sold in kilos, however it doesn’t fulfill its conditions because the cat can scrape the pieces of it really easily and finally cut the rope.

2. The paper tunnel

The paper tunnel of about 10 and 12m external diameter, thickness of the side of minimum– 10mm. It is a very important element of the column of a scraper, being frequently damaged in bought in zoological shops scrapers ( breaking the column to scrap caused by using very thin sides of the paper tunnels by the manufacturers of the scrapers).Having such a thin tunnel even an overturn can break the column.

3. Assembly connections

We use M-10 screw with nuts placed in collars of MDF to twist our scrapers. The most often cause of the damage of a scraper is breaking off the connection of the column to scrap. We are the only firm in Poland that applies a special collars of MDF, which endurance is a dozen greater than of the plastic ones used by the other firms. The plastic collars are very thin and breakable. In any of our scrapers you will not find any plastic connections.

4. The shelves and the basis

We use chip plates to produce our scrapers, MDF plates, as well as the plywood. Every our shelf, lid of cabin, or a pallet must fulfill our stamina norms, and their minimum thickness is 22mm (mostly we use the chip plate) -the bases are one of the most important elements of a scraper their suitably, well-chosen size and thickness (weight) give the stability of the whole construction. The material used to manufacture it is also very important.

5. The upholstery

3 types of upholstery materials are offered:

plush
the upholsterys material such as ribbon velveteen
carpet

Specifications and pros:

Carpet thatch - the waterproof carpet originated from Holland.

very long endurance on mechanical damages ( that in scraping by the cat), it is incomparable with other materials
very soft and gentle material (there is no need of applying additional pillows or softening pellets
high resistance on soiling (waterproof material doesn’t accept dirt, doesn’t require any cleaning or washing. You only need to dust it)
they look as thick, massive and fluffy shelves
in case of plotting fat stains you can wash only the dirty spot, there is no need of washing the entire scrape - after a wash, there is no difference with the rest of thatches

Ribbed velveteen - German origin, used in upholstery of the sofas and armchair.

very high class of abrasibility
large resistance on wet cleaning (the material does not change its structure, does not stick together, does not felt
quite good endurance on mechanical damages – scraping considerably higher than plush, but lower than the carpet thatch
the easiness of cleaning and dusting the hair

Plush thatch - the highest quality plush originated from Poland. Very thick plush (5mm).

considerably higher endurance on mechanical damages than the standard accessible plush in our market
laver price than the carpet or upholsterer’s thatches
