SSM 24 Block & Paver Plant Delivered to Jora Crete, Sukkur Motorway Project

Powering the Sukkur Motorway – A Testament to Trust

In 2019, at the height of the Sukkur–Multan Motorway (M‑5) construction – a flagship project of the China‑Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) – the demand for high‑quality concrete pavers, blocks, and curbstones was unprecedented. Jora Crete, a trusted construction materials supplier, was awarded a critical contract to supply these products for the motorway’s rest areas, service stations, and access roads.

To meet the massive volume and strict quality standards, Jora Crete chose Silver Steel Mills to deliver a fully automatic SSM 24 block and paver plant. The plant was installed near the motorway alignment in Sukkur and became the backbone of Jora Crete’s production – delivering 24,000 pavers, 12,000 blocks, and 4,000 curbstones daily.

This project not only showcases the capability of our machinery but also the trust that industry leaders place in Silver Steel Mills.

The Challenge – Meeting CPEC‑Grade Specifications

The Sukkur Motorway project demanded:

• High‑volume production – Thousands of pavers and blocks needed every day.

• Uncompromising quality – Products had to pass NHA (National Highway Authority) lab tests.

• Fast delivery – The motorway schedule was tight; any supply delay would cost millions.

• Durability – Pavers and curbstones had to withstand heavy truck traffic and extreme temperatures.

Jora Crete had previously relied on multiple small suppliers, but quality was inconsistent and volumes insufficient. They needed a captive, high‑capacity plant that could produce everything on site.

After evaluating several manufacturers, they chose Silver Steel Mills because of our proven track record with CPEC contractors (CSCEC) and our reputation for robust, reliable machinery.

The Solution – Complete SSM 24 Plant

We delivered, installed, and commissioned a complete SSM 24 fully automatic plant, including:

1. Main Block Machine – SSM 24

2. Batching System (Digital Weighing)

• 3 aggregate bins – for sand, 6 mm crush, 10 mm crush.

• 50‑ton cement silo with dust collector.

• Digital load cells – accurate weighing of all materials.

• Water weighing system.

3. Planetary Mixer

• Batch capacity : 1000 kg.

• Motor power : 30 kW.

• Homogeneous mixing in 60‑90 seconds.

4. Conveyor Belt

• Length : 10 m heavy‑duty rubber belt with cleats.

• Motor : 5 HP gear motor.

5. Automatic Stacker

• Pallet stacker with hydraulic lift.

• Reduces manual labour and product damage.

6. Moulds Supplied

• Paver mould (60 mm) – for interlocking tiles.

• Hollow block mould (6″×8″×12″).

• Curbstone mould (12″×14″).

The plant was erected on a purpose‑built concrete foundation, with our engineers supervising every step. Jora Crete’s operators were trained on site.

Production Capacity – Real Numbers

After commissioning, the SSM 24 plant consistently achieved (two shifts, 16 hours):

This output was more than enough to supply the motorway’s rest areas, toll plazas, and service stations. Jora Crete also supplied blocks for ancillary structures (security posts, warehouses).

“The SSM 24 plant never missed a deadline. Even during the peak summer months (50°C), the machine kept running. The pavers were consistently strong – passing every NHA lab test. Silver Steel Mills became our trusted partner. We have since ordered another plant.”
– Project Director, Jora Crete, Sukkur

Key Features That Won Jora Crete’s Trust

1. High Production – 24/7 Reliability

The SSM 24’s robust construction allowed it to run two full shifts without overheating or breakdowns. The dual vibration motors and heavy‑duty hydraulic system handled the toughest concrete mixes.

2. Consistent Quality – Lab‑Tested Pass

Every batch of pavers and blocks was tested for compressive strength. Results consistently exceeded NHA requirements:

• Paver strength : 5,200 – 5,800 PSI

• Block strength : 4,500 – 5,000 PSI

• Curbstone strength : 5,000+ PSI

3. Integrated System – Reduced Labour

The batching system + mixer + conveyor + stacker worked as a seamless line. Only 3‑4 operators were needed per shift – far less than manual or semi‑automatic plants.

4. Local Support – Fast Response

When a minor issue arose (a belt misalignment), Silver Steel Mills’ technician was on site within 24 hours. Spare parts were available from our Gujranwala factory.

Impact on the Sukkur Motorway Project

The SSM 24 plant enabled Jora Crete to:

• Supply on time – Never delayed a single delivery.

• Reduce costs – In‑house production cut material costs by 40%.

• Earn repeat orders – Motorway contractors requested more pavers for additional sections.

• Create local jobs – Trained Sukkur residents as plant operators.

The motorway was completed ahead of schedule, and the pavers installed from Jora Crete’s plant remain in excellent condition today (2025).
