SSM 24 Block Plant with Steel Building Delivered to Khan Crete, Peshawar
A Complete Turnkey Solution – From Machine to Shelter
Khan Crete, a rising name in Peshawar’s construction materials market, had a vision. They wanted to produce high‑quality pavers, blocks, and curbstones – but not under the open sky. Peshawar’s weather can be brutal: scorching summer sun that bakes fresh concrete, and winter rains that halt production. They needed a complete protected facility, not just a block machine.
That’s when they approached Silver Steel Mills. And we didn’t just deliver a machine. We delivered a fully integrated production plant – including the SSM 24 block making machine, batching system, planetary mixer, conveyor belt, automatic stacker, and a custom‑designed steel building to cover it all.
The year was 2020. Despite the challenges of that year, we successfully installed the plant in Peshawar. Khan Crete started production on schedule – and they’ve never looked back.

The Challenge – Peshawar’s Weather Was the Real Enemy
Khan Crete’s site was open to the elements. In summer, the steel sheets of any machine would get too hot to touch. In winter, rain would turn their curing yard into a muddy mess. Their workers often had to stop production due to bad weather.
They needed:
-
A weather‑protected plant – a roof over the machinery and work area.
-
High production capacity – to serve Peshawar’s growing housing schemes.
-
Consistent quality – pavers and blocks that meet Pak‑standard specs.
-
Low maintenance – because sending technicians to Peshawar takes time.
After visiting our factory in Gujranwala and seeing a covered plant installation, Khan Crete decided to go with a complete turnkey solution from Silver Steel Mills.
The Solution – SSM 24 Plant + Steel Building
We designed, fabricated, delivered, and installed everything:
1. Main Block Machine – SSM 24
| Feature | Detail |
|---|---|
| Model | SSM 24 (fully automatic) |
| Cycle time | 18‑22 seconds |
| Hydraulic pressure | 250 tons |
| Vibration | Dual 15 HP motors, reinforced head bed |
| Control | PLC touch screen with recipe memory |
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 to ±0.5%.
3. Planetary Mixer
-
Batch capacity : 1000 kg.
-
Heavy‑duty blades for thorough mixing.
-
Discharge into conveyor belt.
4. Conveyor Belt
-
Length : 10 meters, rubber belt with cleats.
-
Motor : 5 HP gear motor.
5. Automatic Stacker
-
Pallet stacker with hydraulic lift.
-
Reduces manual handling – only 2‑3 operators needed per shift.
6. Steel Building (Plant Cover)
This was the extra touch that made Khan Crete’s plant truly weather‑proof:
-
Covered area : 2,500 sq. ft.
-
Structure : I‑beams (Q345B steel) + galvanised purlins.
-
Roof cladding : PPGI sheets (insulated option) to reflect heat.
-
Height : 14 ft at eave – enough for machine maintenance and natural ventilation.
-
Side walls : Partial open for air flow, but roof fully covers the machine, batching system, and mixer.
-
Rain gutters to channel water away from work area.
The steel building was erected first, creating a shaded, dry workspace. Then we installed the machinery inside. Khan Crete’s workers now work comfortably – even on the hottest July afternoon or during monsoon showers.
Production Capacity – Real Numbers from Peshawar
Once commissioned, the SSM 24 plant consistently delivered (two shifts, 16 hours):
| Product | Daily Output |
|---|---|
| Interlocking pavers (50‑60 mm) | 24,000 pieces |
| Hollow / solid blocks (6″×8″×12″) | 12,000 blocks |
| Curbstones (road edging) | 4,000 pieces |
The batching system ensures every mix has exactly the right proportion of cement, sand, and crush – resulting in 5,000+ PSI strength for all products.
“We used to struggle with rain delays. A single shower could ruin a day’s production. Now, with the steel building, we work regardless of weather. The SSM 24 runs like a tank – strong, steady, and reliable. Silver Steel Mills didn’t just sell us a machine; they gave us a complete factory.”
– Owner, Khan Crete, Peshawar
Why the Steel Building Was a Game Changer
Khan Crete initially thought they could put up a simple tin shed themselves. But they realised that a proper engineered steel building offers:
-
Durability – withstands Peshawar’s strong winds and occasional hail.
-
Heat reflection – PPGI roof sheets reduce interior temperature by 8‑10°C.
-
No rust – galvanised purlins and coated sheets.
-
Quick erection – our team put up the building in under 10 days.
The cost of the steel building was recovered within months through zero weather‑related downtime and longer machine life (electronics protected from direct sun and moisture).
Financial Impact – A Smart Investment
| Metric | Before (Open Shed) | After (SSM 24 + Steel Building) |
|---|---|---|
| Rainy season production | 10‑15 days lost per month | Zero lost days |
| Machine maintenance | Frequent (dust, heat) | Rare (protected) |
| Operator comfort | Poor (extreme heat) | Good (cooler under roof) |
| Daily output | 12,000 pavers (max) | 24,000 pavers |
| ROI | – | 8 months |
Khan Crete now supplies pavers to DHA Peshawar, to private housing schemes, and to road contractors. Their reputation for consistent quality has grown because their production is no longer at the mercy of the weather.
A Partnership Beyond the Sale
Since 2020, Silver Steel Mills has supplied Khan Crete with additional moulds (special‑size curbstones for a commercial project) and replacement wear parts (mixer blades, conveyor belt). Their operators call us directly when they have questions – and we answer.
That’s the Silver Steel Mills difference: we don’t disappear after the machine is delivered.
