SSM 24 Block Plant Delivered to Muto Crete, Gujrat
Transforming Gujrat’s Construction Landscape – One Paver, Block, and Kerbstone at a Time
Gujrat is known for many things: its world‑famous fans, its pottery, and its hardworking people. But in recent years, it has also become a growing hub for construction materials. With new housing schemes, road networks, and commercial plazas springing up across the district, the demand for quality pavers, blocks, and kerbstones has skyrocketed.
Muto Crete, a forward‑thinking construction materials company in Gujrat, saw this opportunity early. They knew that to serve the local market – and to compete with bigger players from Gujranwala and Lahore – they needed a reliable, high‑output plant.
In 2021, they partnered with Silver Steel Mills and installed an SSM 24 fully automatic block and paver plant – complete with a digital batching system, planetary mixer, conveyor belt, and automatic stacker. The results speak for themselves: 24,000 pavers, 12,000 blocks, and 6,000 kerbstones daily – a production capacity that has made Muto Crete a trusted name across Gujrat and beyond.
The Challenge – Meeting the Demand of a Growing District
Gujrat’s construction boom is real. New housing societies near the GT Road, commercial developments in the city centre, and government road projects all require massive quantities of concrete products. But Muto Crete’s existing setup – a small semi‑automatic machine – couldn’t keep up.
-
Orders piled up during peak season.
-
Quality varied from batch to batch.
-
Kerbstones (road edging) were especially difficult to produce with precision.
-
Labour costs were high due to manual stacking.
The owner, a determined entrepreneur, told our sales team: “Mujhe ek aisi plant chahiye jo roz 20,000 se zyada pavers banaaye, blocks bhi strong hon, aur kerbstones bhi perfect. Teesra aadmi kam chahiye. Aur machine aisi ho jo Gujrat ki garmi mein bhi bina ruke chale.”
We recommended the SSM 24 – our mid‑range fully automatic machine that offers the perfect balance of output, reliability, and affordability.

Production Reality – Numbers That Transformed the Business
After commissioning, the SSM 24 plant consistently delivered (two shifts, 16 hours):
| Product | Daily Output | Use |
|---|---|---|
| Interlocking pavers (50‑60 mm) | 24,000 pieces | Footpaths, driveways, parking areas |
| Hollow / solid blocks (6″×8″×12″) | 12,000 blocks | Boundary walls, load‑bearing walls |
| Kerbstone (road edging) | 6,000 pieces | Roads, drainage channels, medians |
Monthly output (25 working days):
-
6,00,000 pavers
-
3,00,000 blocks
-
1,50,000 kerbstones
This volume has made Muto Crete one of the largest suppliers in the Gujrat region.
“SSM 24 machine ne hamari factory ko nayi zindagi di. Pehle hum kerbstones theek se nahi bana paate the – ab perfect bante hain. Pavers ki quality itni achi hai ke contractors khud se waapas aate hain. Conveyor belt aur stacker ne labour cost bohat kam kar di. Silver Steel Mills ka plant solid hai – roz 16 ghante chalta hai, aur abhi tak koi badi kharabi nahi aayi.”

Why Kerbstones Were a Game Changer for Muto Crete
Kerbstones are often an afterthought for many block plants. They require precise moulding, consistent compaction, and clean edges – otherwise they crack during installation. The SSM 24, with its dual vibration and 250‑ton hydraulic pressure, produces kerbstones that are:
-
Dense – no honeycombing or weak spots.
-
Accurate – uniform length and width, easy to lay.
-
Chip‑resistant – edges stay clean even after rough handling.
Muto Crete now supplies kerbstones to:
-
Municipal road projects in Gujrat city.
-
Housing society boundaries in Gujranwala road.
-
Drainage channels for agricultural schemes.
This has become a profitable niche for them.
The Roadside Footpath Connection – Pavers That Last
The 24,000 daily pavers are used extensively for footpaths and pedestrian walkways. The SSM 24’s high‑frequency vibration ensures that each paver has a smooth surface and interlocking precision. Contractors report:
-
Easy installation – pavers fit together snugly.
-
High load‑bearing capacity – withstood heavy truck traffic during construction.
-
Colour consistency – when colour pigment is used, the top layer stays vibrant.
Muto Crete’s pavers can now be seen in:
-
Commercial plazas near Gujrat’s bus stand.
-
Residential streets in new housing schemes.
-
Factory parking areas along the GT Road.
Financial Impact – A Smart Investment That Paid Off Fast
| Metric | Value |
|---|---|
| Daily paver revenue (24,000 @ Rs 11) | Rs 2.64 lakh |
| Daily block revenue (12,000 @ Rs 25) | Rs 3.00 lakh |
| Daily kerbstone revenue (6,000 @ Rs 35) | Rs 2.10 lakh |
| Total daily revenue | Rs 7.74 lakh |
| Monthly revenue (25 days) | Rs 1.94 crore |
| Raw material + labour + electricity | ~50% of revenue |
| Net monthly profit | Rs 90 lakh – 1 crore |
| ROI | 6‑7 months |
Muto Crete recovered the entire plant investment in less than a year. They have since expanded their curing yard and added two new trucks for delivery.
Why Gujrat Chose Silver Steel Mills – And Keeps Coming Back
Since 2021, Silver Steel Mills has supplied Muto Crete with:
-
Additional moulds (special‑size kerbstones for a bypass road).
-
Replacement wear parts (mixer blades, conveyor belt).
-
Remote technical support (via WhatsApp video calls).
The owner recently called to say: “Agli plant bhi Silver Steel Mills se hi lein ge.”
That’s the trust we’ve earned.
