SSM 35 Block Machine with Batching Plant and Steel Shed Delivered to DK Crete, Gujranwala

A Complete Factory in Gujranwala – Where Quality Meets Efficiency

Gujranwala is already known as a city of industry and hard work. But when DK Crete decided to enter the concrete block and paver manufacturing business, they didn’t want to be just another small player. They wanted to be the best. They wanted a facility that could produce everything – interlocking pavers, hollow blocks, solid blocks, kerbstones, and even fly ash bricks – all under one roof, with consistent quality and high volume.

After months of planning, they chose Silver Steel Mills to deliver a complete turnkey solution: an SSM 35 fully automatic block making plant, a digital batching system, a planetary mixer, a conveyor belt, an automatic stacker, and a custom‑engineered steel building to house the entire operation.

This is the story of that factory – a facility that today produces 35,000 pavers, 15,000 blocks, and 6,000 kerbstones daily, making DK Crete a trusted name across Gujranwala and beyond.

The Client – DK Crete, Gujranwala

DK Crete is a family‑owned business that had been supplying construction materials to local contractors for years. They knew the market well. They also knew that to compete with the big names, they needed to scale up – and scale up properly.

The owner told our team: “Mujhe ek aisi factory chahiye jo din raat chale, quality aisi ho ke koi complaint na aaye, aur machine ke saath proper shed bhi ho – takay workers bhi comfortable rahein aur machine bhi safe. Ek hi jagah se sab milna chahiye.”

We proposed a complete package: the SSM 35 plant, batching system, mixer, conveyor, stacker, and a steel building to cover everything. DK Crete approved the plan, and we got to work.

The Solution – SSM 35 Plant with Steel Shed

We designed, fabricated, delivered, and installed the entire facility as a single integrated system.

1. Main Block Machine – SSM 35 (Fully Automatic)

The SSM 35 is our flagship machine, built for 16‑hour daily operation in harsh conditions. Its robust frame absorbs vibration, ensuring long life and consistent product quality.

2. Digital Batching System

• 4 aggregate bins – for sand, 6 mm crush, 10 mm crush, and stone dust.

• 100‑ton cement silo with dust collector.

• Digital load cells (±0.5% accuracy) for cement, sand, crush, and water.

• Water and admixture weighing integrated.

3. Planetary Mixer

• Batch capacity : 1500 kg.

• Heavy‑duty blades and wear‑resistant lining.

• Mixing time : 60‑90 seconds per batch.

• Automatic discharge to conveyor belt.

4. Conveyor Belt

• Length : 12 meters.

• Width : 800 mm rubber belt with cleats.

• Motor : 7.5 HP gear motor.

5. Automatic Stacker

• Pallet stacker with hydraulic lift.

• Pallet dispenser – reduces manual labour and product damage.

6. Steel Building (Plant Cover)

DK Crete wanted a weather‑protected factory. We designed and erected a steel building over the entire plant:

The steel building keeps the plant cool in summer, dry in monsoon, and free from dust – extending machine life and improving worker comfort.

7. Moulds Supplied

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

• Hollow block mould (6″×8″×12″).

• Solid block mould (6″×8″×12″).

• Kerbstone mould (12″×14″) – for road edging.

• Fly ash brick mould (9″×4″×3″) – for waste material utilization.

Production Capacity – Numbers That Define a Market Leader

After commissioning, the SSM 35 plant at DK Crete consistently delivers (two shifts, 16 hours):

Monthly output (25 working days):

• 8,75,000 pavers

• 3,75,000 blocks

• 1,50,000 kerbstones

This volume has made DK Crete a preferred supplier for housing schemes, road contractors, and commercial developers across Gujranwala, Sialkot, and even parts of Lahore.

“Silver Steel Mills ne hamari factory ko complete kar diya – machine bhi di, shed bhi banaya. Ab hum barsaat mein bhi production nahi roktein. SSM 35 ki vibration aur hydraulic pressure se pavers itne strong bante hain ke clients khud reference dete hain. Batching system se cement consumption bhi kam hua hai. Best decision we ever made.”
– Owner, DK Crete, Gujranwala

Why the Steel Building Was a Game Changer

Most block plants in Gujranwala operate in the open. DK Crete’s decision to invest in a proper steel building paid off in multiple ways:

• No weather delays – Production continues during rain and extreme sun.

• Longer machine life – Electronics and hydraulics are protected from dust and moisture.

• Consistent concrete quality – No rapid drying due to direct sun exposure.

• Worker comfort – Operators are more productive in a shaded, cooler environment.

• Higher resale value – The entire facility is a turnkey, protected asset.

The steel building was erected first, creating a shaded, dry workspace. Then we installed the SSM 35, batching system, mixer, conveyor, and stacker inside. Today, DK Crete’s workers operate the plant comfortably – even on the hottest July afternoon.

Multi‑Product Manufacturing – One Machine, Endless Possibilities

The SSM 35’s quick‑change mould system allows DK Crete to switch between products in under 20 minutes:

Pavers (35,000 per day)

• 50 mm – footpaths and garden walkways.

• 60 mm – driveways and light vehicle parking.

• 80 mm – commercial and industrial areas.

Concrete Blocks (15,000 per day)

• Hollow blocks – for lightweight walls and reduced material cost.

• Solid blocks – for load‑bearing walls and foundations.

Kerbstones (6,000 per day)

• Perfect for road edges, drainage channels, and median boundaries.

Fly Ash Bricks

• Using locally sourced fly ash (from nearby industrial boilers), DK Crete produces eco‑friendly bricks that are lighter, stronger, and cheaper than clay bricks.

This flexibility allows DK Crete to serve multiple market segments and adjust production based on demand.
