SSM 24 Block Machine Delivered to JS Crete, Shikarpur, Sindh
Bringing Industrial Strength to the Heart of Sindh
Shikarpur isn’t the first city that comes to mind when you think of large‑scale concrete block manufacturing. It’s a historic city on the banks of the Indus, known more for its mangoes and old havelis than for industrial production. But JS Crete saw an opportunity. With construction booming in Sukkur, Larkana, and even parts of northern Sindh, they realised that a high‑capacity block plant in Shikarpur could serve a vast, underserved market.
They didn’t want a small, unreliable machine. They wanted a workhorse – something that could churn out thousands of pavers, blocks, and curbstones day after day, even in Sindh’s brutal summer heat.
After talking to several manufacturers, they called Silver Steel Mills. And in [year – adjust as needed], we delivered, installed, and commissioned an SSM 24 fully automatic block and paver plant at their Shikarpur facility.
The Challenge – Remote Location, Tough Climate
Shikarpur is not an industrial hub. Transporting heavy machinery there required careful planning. The local workforce had little experience with automatic block plants. And the climate? Summer temperatures regularly exceed 48°C. Dust is everywhere. Any machine that goes there needs to be built like a tank.
JS Crete’s owner, a determined entrepreneur, told me over the phone: “Bhai, mujhe aisi machine chahiye jo Sindh ki garmi mein bhi 16 ghante bina ruke chale. Quality aisi ho ke koi complaint na aaye. Aur agar koi masla ho to tum log support do, chahe phone pe hi sahi.”
I assured him: the SSM 24 is exactly that machine.
The Machine – SSM 24: Built for Sindh’s Extremes
We supplied a complete SSM 24 fully automatic plant, configured for high output and low maintenance.
| Component | Specification |
|---|---|
| Main machine | SSM 24 (heavy‑duty steel frame, Q345B) |
| Hydraulic pressure | 250 tons |
| Vibration motors | Dual 15 HP, high‑frequency, reinforced head bed |
| Control | PLC digital panel (simple menu, Urdu/English) |
| Mixer | Planetary, 1000 kg batch |
| Batching system | 3 bins + 50‑ton cement silo + digital load cells |
| Conveyor | 10 m rubber belt with cleats |
| Stacker | Automatic pallet stacker |
We also sent an extra set of wear parts – blades, bearings, belts – because we knew that sourcing them locally in Shikarpur would be difficult.
Production Reality – Numbers That Impressed
After installation and a week of training, the SSM 24 plant settled into its daily rhythm (two shifts, 16 hours):
| Product | Daily Output |
|---|---|
| Interlocking pavers / tiles (50‑60 mm) | 24,000 pieces |
| Solid / hollow blocks (6″×8″×12″) | 10,000 blocks |
| Curbstones (road edging) | 4,000 pieces |
The plant produces consistently strong products – tested locally at around 4,800‑5,200 PSI – more than enough for housing and road projects.
“Pehle hum bahar se blocks mangwate the. Kabhi late aate, kabhi quality kharab. Ab hum khud bana rahe hain. Machine subah chalu karo, sham tak 24,000 pavers ready. Sindh ki garmi mein bhi machine nahi rukti. Silver Steel Mills ne jo wada kiya, wohi diya.”
– Owner, JS Crete, Shikarpur
Why SSM 24 Was the Right Choice for Shikarpur
1. Heat‑Tolerant Hydraulics
The hydraulic system is designed with an oversized cooler and temperature sensor. Even when ambient temperatures hit 50°C, the oil stays within safe limits. No shutdowns due to overheating.
2. Dust‑Proof Electricals
The control panel is sealed with rubber gaskets, and the PLC is housed in a filtered enclosure. Dust – which is everywhere in Shikarpur – doesn’t get inside. This has saved JS Crete from frequent electronic failures.
3. Simple Operation for New Operators
The digital panel has large buttons and a simple menu. We trained JS Crete’s team for three days, and within a week they were running the plant independently. One operator, two helpers – that’s all it takes.
4. Multi‑Product Flexibility
The mould change system is quick. JS Crete produces pavers for walkways, blocks for walls, and curbstones for roads – all from the same machine. They’ve even started making special‑sized blocks for a local school project.
The Human Side – A Small Factory That Changed a Community
JS Crete isn’t a giant corporation. It’s a family‑owned business that now employs 12 local workers – machine operators, loaders, stackers, and curing yard staff. Before this plant, most of them were daily wage labourers with irregular income. Now they have steady jobs.
One of the operators, a young man from a nearby village, told our technician during a follow‑up visit: “Maine pehle kabhi automatic machine nahi dekhi thi. Ab main roz 24,000 pavers bana raha hoon. Ghar walo ko fakhar hai.”
That’s the kind of impact we don’t put in brochures – but it’s the reason we do this work.
Financial Impact – A Smart Investment
| Metric | Value |
|---|---|
| Daily revenue (pavers @ Rs 11/piece) | Rs 2.64 lakh |
| Daily revenue (blocks @ Rs 25/block) | Rs 2.5 lakh |
| Daily revenue (curbstones @ Rs 35/piece) | Rs 1.4 lakh |
| Total daily revenue | Rs 6.54 lakh |
| Monthly (25 days) | Rs 1.63 crore |
| Raw material & labour cost | ~40% of revenue |
| Net monthly profit | Rs 80 lakh – 1 crore |
| ROI | 6‑8 months |
JS Crete recovered their entire investment in less than a year – and they now supply blocks to projects as far as Sukkur and Larkana.
