SSM 35 Block Plant with Steel Building Delivered to Premium Crete, Karachi
A Turnkey Solution That Withstands Karachi’s Extremes
Karachi is not an easy place for heavy machinery. The heat, the humidity, the dust, and the occasional monsoon downpour can wreck a poorly protected plant within months. When Premium Crete decided to invest in a high‑capacity block and paver production line, they knew they needed more than just a machine. They needed a complete, weather‑protected factory.
In 2020, they chose Silver Steel Mills to deliver, install, and commission a fully automatic SSM 35 block making plant – complete with a digital batching system, planetary mixer, conveyor belt, automatic stacker, and a custom‑designed steel building to cover everything.
This wasn’t just a purchase. It was a partnership that turned Premium Crete into one of Karachi’s most reliable suppliers of pavers, blocks, and curbstones.
The Challenge – Karachi’s Harsh Environment Demands More
Premium Crete’s site in Karachi’s industrial zone was exposed to the elements. The owner had seen other plants struggle with:
-
Overheating hydraulics in summer (50°C+)
-
Rust and corrosion from coastal humidity
-
Dust ingress into control panels
-
Rain disruptions during the monsoon season
He told our sales team: “Mujhe ek aisi plant chahiye jo Karachi ki garmi mein bhi bina ruke chale. Aur machine ke saath ek proper shed bhi chahiye – takay workers bhi comfortable rahein aur machine bhi safe.”
We proposed a complete turnkey solution: an SSM 35 plant plus a steel building that would house the entire production line – from batching to stacking.
The Solution – SSM 35 Plant with Steel Building
We designed, fabricated, and installed everything as a single integrated system.
1. Main Block Machine – SSM 35 (Fully Automatic)
| Feature | Detail |
|---|---|
| Model | SSM 35 (heavy‑duty, Q345B steel) |
| Cycle time | 15‑20 seconds |
| Hydraulic pressure | 300 tons |
| Vibration | Dual 20 HP motors, reinforced head bed |
| Control | PLC touch screen (recipe storage, batch logging) |
| Power | 45‑50 kW |
2. Digital Batching System
-
4 aggregate bins – for sand, 6 mm crush, 10 mm crush, stone dust.
-
100‑ton cement silo with dust collector.
-
Digital load cells (±0.5% accuracy).
-
Water & admixture weighing integrated.
3. Planetary Mixer
-
Batch capacity : 1500 kg (1.5 tons).
-
Heavy‑duty blades and wear‑resistant lining.
-
Automatic discharge to conveyor belt.
4. Conveyor Belt
-
Length : 12 meters, rubber belt with cleats.
-
Motor : 7.5 HP gear motor.
5. Automatic Stacker
-
Pallet stacker with hydraulic lift and pallet dispenser.
-
Reduces manual handling – only 3‑4 operators per shift.
6. Steel Building (Plant Cover)
This was the extra step that made Premium Crete’s plant truly resilient:
-
Covered area : 3,500 sq. ft.
-
Structure : Heavy I‑beams (Q345B) + galvanised purlins.
-
Roof cladding : Insulated PPGI sheets (heat‑reflective, waterproof).
-
Height : 16 ft at eave – excellent ventilation and clearance.
-
Side walls : Partially enclosed for airflow, but roof fully covers all machinery.
-
Corrosion protection : All steel members epoxy‑painted for coastal environment.
The steel shed was erected first, creating a shaded, dry workspace. Then we installed the SSM 35, batching system, mixer, conveyor, and stacker inside. Today, Premium Crete runs the plant 16 hours a day – even during Karachi’s hottest afternoons and heaviest rains.
Production Capacity – Real Numbers from Karachi
After commissioning (two shifts, 16 hours), the plant consistently delivers:
| Product | Daily Output |
|---|---|
| Interlocking pavers / tuff tiles (50‑80 mm) | 35,000 pieces |
| Hollow / solid blocks (6″×8″×12″) | 15,000 blocks |
| Curbstones (road edging) | 6,000 pieces |
The batching system ensures every mix is exact, resulting in 5,000+ PSI strength – lab‑tested and approved for DHA and Bahria projects.
“Silver Steel Mills ne hamari factory ko complete kar diya – machine bhi di, shed bhi banaya. Ab hum barsaat mein bhi production nahi roktein. Karachi ki garmi mein machine ka temperature control system kaam karta hai aur hydraulics kabhi overheat nahi hotay. SSM 35 ki vibration aur hydraulic pressure se pavers itne strong bante hain ke clients khud reference dete hain.”
– Production Manager, Premium Crete, Karachi
Why the Steel Building Was a Must‑Have for Karachi
Premium Crete initially considered a simple tin shade. But we convinced them that a proper engineered steel building offers:
-
Heat reflection – Insulated PPGI roof keeps interior 8‑10°C cooler.
-
Dust protection – Enclosed sides (partial) prevent dust from settling on electronics.
-
Rain protection – No more wet concrete or slippery work areas.
-
Longer machine life – Hydraulics and motors last years longer when shielded from direct sun.
-
Worker safety – Operators work in a cooler, safer environment.
The additional cost of the steel building was recovered within months through zero weather‑related downtime and reduced maintenance.
Financial Impact – From User to Market Leader
Before the SSM 35 plant, Premium Crete purchased pavers and blocks from multiple suppliers, often facing delays and inconsistent quality.
After the plant:
| Metric | Value |
|---|---|
| Daily paver revenue (35,000 @ Rs 12) | Rs 4.2 lakh |
| Daily block revenue (15,000 @ Rs 28) | Rs 4.2 lakh |
| Daily curbstone revenue (6,000 @ Rs 38) | Rs 2.28 lakh |
| Total daily revenue | Rs 10.68 lakh |
| Monthly (25 days) | Rs 2.67 crore |
| Net profit margin | ~45‑50% |
| ROI | 6‑8 months |
Premium Crete recovered the entire investment – machine, batching, mixer, conveyor, stacker, and steel shed – in less than a year. They now supply to DHA Karachi, Bahria Town, and several private housing schemes.
A Partnership That Continues
Since 2020, Silver Steel Mills has supplied Premium Crete with additional moulds (special‑size pavers for a commercial plaza) and replacement wear parts. Their team calls us for technical advice – and we respond within hours.
That’s the Silver Steel Mills difference: we build machines, but we also build relationships.
