SSM 35 Fully Automatic Hydraulic Block Making Machine – Pakistan’s Ultimate Choice for High‑Strength Pavers & Fly Ash Bricks

Introduction – The Machine That Turns Waste Into Wealth

What if you could stand on a freshly made brick and it wouldn’t crack? What if that brick was still wet from the mould – not even cured – and yet it could support the weight of a 90‑kg man without breaking? What if the same machine could produce interlocking zigzag pavers, solid blocks, hollow blocks, and fly ash bricks with perfect consistency?

That machine exists. It is the SSM 35 – the fully automatic hydraulic block making machine from Silver Steel Mills, Pakistan’s most trusted name in construction machinery.

This article takes you inside the world of high‑compression, zero‑defect block production. You will see why the SSM 35 outperforms ordinary mechanical machines, how its robust design guarantees decades of trouble‑free operation, and why top Pakistani developers – including Nishat Power, CSCEC (CPEC motorway), DHA Multan, and Gulberg Greens – rely on Silver Steel Mills.

 

Whether you are a contractor, a real estate developer, or an aspiring entrepreneur, this guide will show you how the SSM 35 can give you free raw material (fly ash), government subsidies, and monthly profits up to PKR 1.5 million.


Why Choose a Fully Automatic Hydraulic Block Machine?

Most small‑scale block makers use mechanical or semi‑automatic machines that rely on simple vibration. These machines produce weak, irregular blocks that crumble under pressure.

The SSM 35 is different. It combines three powerful forces:

Force Function
Hydraulic pressure (up to 300 tons) Compacts the raw material into a dense, rock‑hard mass
High‑frequency vibration (2 × 20 HP motors) Eliminates air voids and ensures uniform density
Precise mould geometry Produces perfect edges and sharp faces every cycle

The result? Bricks that are so strong that a 90‑kg worker can jump on them while they are still wet, without any crack or damage. You will see proof in this article.


Real‑Life Demonstration: Strength Test on Wet Zigzag Pavers

In a recent factory test, Silver Steel Mills engineers ran a batch of zigzag interlocking pavers using the SSM 35. The pavers were freshly pressed – still wet, not cured, not dried.

A 90‑kg worker was asked to stand on a single paver. Then he jumped. Then he stood on one leg. The result:

  • No crack

  • No deformation

  • No chipping at the edges

“Even though the bricks were wet and full of water, they supported the worker’s full weight without any damage. The compaction density is extremely high – that’s the power of 300‑ton hydraulic pressure.” – Silver Steel Mills Engineer

This is not just a demonstration; it is a guarantee of quality. When you buy an SSM 35, every block you produce will be strong enough for road pavements, industrial floors, and CPEC‑grade construction.

Built to Last – No Maintenance Headaches

One of the biggest fears of buying a block machine is frequent breakdowns – worn‑out moulds, cracked hydraulic jacks, broken welds, and expensive spare parts.

The SSM 35 is engineered to eliminate those fears.

1. Ultra‑Thick Mould Frames

The mould body (die) is made from imported heat‑treated steel, much thicker than ordinary machines. You can literally use your finger to measure the wall thickness – it is that substantial. This means:

  • No bending or warping after thousands of cycles

  • No dimensional errors even after years of use

  • Perfect sharp edges on every brick

2. Reinforced Welding

Every weld on the SSM 35 is 3‑mm thick – far more than the usual 1‑mm weld found on cheap machines. Look closely at the frame joints. You will see smooth, even, beautiful welding lines that distribute stress uniformly. No weak points. No cracks.

3. Heavy‑Duty Hydraulic Components

The hydraulic jack (cylinder) and pressure pipes are imported from Taiwan/China with 3‑ply high‑pressure hoses. The seals are grade‑A, designed for 16‑hour continuous operation in Pakistan’s 50°C summer heat.

4. Anti‑Rust Painting

Before final painting, every steel part receives anti‑rust primer. The top coat is industrial‑grade epoxy paint. This is why the machine keeps its appearance and structural integrity for over a decade, even in humid coastal areas like Karachi.

5. Tension Spring System (For Material Cart)

The material cart (which carries wet concrete to the mould) moves along a heavy channel. Without proper design, the channel wears out quickly. Our SSM 35 uses four tension springs to reduce friction and distribute load. The result: the channel lasts for millions of cycles without deformation.


50+ Years of Proven Technology – With a Pakistani Advantage

The basic design of the SSM 35 has been in the global market for over 50 years. Thousands of machines are running in more than 50 countries. Silver Steel Mills has taken this mature, time‑tested technology and localised it for Pakistani conditions:

  • Higher hydraulic pressure (300 tons vs 180 tons on standard machines)

  • Thicker steel plates (30‑50 mm base, compared to 15‑20 mm on imports)

  • Local PLC software in English/Urdu for easy operation

  • Readily available spare parts from our Gujranwala factory

“Our clients report more than 95% satisfaction. Many have bought second and third machines without ever needing a major repair. The SSM 35 runs for years with zero maintenance – just oil changes and periodic bolt tightening.” – Silver Steel Mills Service Head


Who Should Buy the SSM 35? (Target Market for Pakistan)

1. Fly Ash Brick Manufacturers (Free Raw Material)

Thermal power plants in Pakistan produce thousands of tons of fly ash daily. This waste is given away free of charge. Use the SSM 35 to produce lightweight, high‑strength fly ash bricks at a cost of just PKR 6‑8 per brick and sell them for PKR 12‑15. Your profit per brick = PKR 6‑9.

Daily profit (10,000 bricks) = PKR 60,000 to PKR 90,000.

2. Paver / Tuff Tile Producers for Housing Schemes

DHA, Bahria Town, Gulberg Greens, and CPEC housing projects need millions of interlocking pavers. The SSM 35 produces 24,000 tiles per day – enough to pave 200‑250 square metres every shift.

3. Contractors for Government Tenders

The Punjab government, NHA, and C&W department now mandate the use of machine‑made concrete blocks for all infrastructure projects. With an SSM 35, you can bid for tenders with confidence, knowing you can deliver consistent quality and huge volumes.

4. Real Estate Developers (Captive Plants)

Developers like DHA Multan and Gulberg Greens have installed SSM 35 plants to manufacture their own blocks and pavers – saving 40‑50% compared to buying from outside.


Case Study – CSCEC CPEC Motorway (2018‑2019)

When China State Construction Engineering Corporation (CSCEC) built the Multan‑Sukkur motorway, they faced a critical shortage of solid blocks and curb stones. Local suppliers could not meet the daily demand. They turned to Silver Steel Mills.

We installed five SSM 18 plants (the compact version of SSM 35) at Kotri, Ghotki, and Jalalpur Pirwala. Each plant delivered:

  • 8,000 solid blocks/day

  • 2,000 curbstones/day

The result? The motorway was completed months ahead of schedule. CSCEC officials publicly acknowledged that Silver Steel Mills’ local machinery outperformed Chinese equipment in terms of reliability and production consistency.


Case Study – Nishat Power, Lahore (Fly Ash to Profit)

Nishat Power Limited generated 35 tons of fly ash daily – a serious environmental liability. After installing an SSM 15 (smaller version of SSM 35), they now produce 10,000 fly ash bricks/day. The waste has become a steady revenue stream, and the plant has been running without major breakdown since 2017.

“We never imagined that our waste fly ash could become a profitable product. Silver Steel Mills made it possible.” – Plant Manager, Nishat Power

How to Change Mould on SSM 35 Block Making Machine – From Paver Mode to Hollow Block Mode (Complete Step-by-Step Guide)

Introduction – Why Mould Change is Essential for Versatile Production

The SSM 35 fully automatic block making machine from Silver Steel Mills is designed for maximum versatility. With a single machine, you can produce paving tiles (tuff tiles), hollow blocks, solid blocks, curb stones, and fly ash bricks – simply by changing the mould. This flexibility is what makes the SSM 35 the preferred choice for contractors, developers, and industrialists across Pakistan.

In this comprehensive guide, we will walk you through the exact process of changing the mould from paver/tile mode to hollow block mode. This procedure is critical when you need to switch production from 60mm thick pavers to 200mm high hollow blocks – a height difference of 140mm.

Whether you are an operator at a CPEC motorway plant, a DHA housing scheme site, or a private block manufacturing unit, this step-by-step manual will ensure you perform the changeover safely, accurately, and efficiently.

Note: This guide is based on the official training provided by Silver Steel Mills’ engineers. Always follow safety protocols and consult your machine’s manual. The procedure described here applies to SSM 35 and other SSM series machines (SSM 24, SSM 18, SSM 50) with similar design.


Why You Need to Change the Mould on SSM 35

Product Typical Height Mould Type
Paving tiles / Tuff tiles 50-60 mm Paver mould (flat, interlocking)
Hollow blocks 200 mm Hollow block mould (with cavities)
Solid blocks 200 mm Solid block mould
Curb stones 150-200 mm Curb stone mould

The difference in height between a paver mould (60mm) and a hollow block mould (200mm) is 140mm. Therefore, you must adjust the machine’s height settings and replace the mould components to accommodate the taller product. The SSM 35 is engineered with a motor box lifting mechanism, adjustable tie rods, and precision locking nuts to make this changeover quick and repeatable.


Tools Required

Before starting, gather the following tools (all provided with your SSM 35 machine):

  • Spanner / Wrench set (to loosen/tighten nuts)

  • Screwdriver (flathead, for small screws)

  • Allen key set

  • Fork or pry bar (to lift heavy components)

  • Rubber mallet (for gentle tapping)

  • Springs, screws, blades (included in mould change kit)

  • Safety gloves and goggles


Step-by-Step Mould Change Procedure (Paver → Hollow Block)

Step 1 – Identify the Parts to Remove

First, locate the following components on your SSM 35 machine:

  • Motor box (the upper part housing the vibration motors)

  • Support bracket (a metal piece that holds the motor box in place)

  • Fitting brake mould (the current paver mould assembly)

  • Tie rods and nuts (vertical threaded rods that control mould height)

Step 2 – Lift the Motor Box

To access the mould area, you must raise the motor box.

  • Locate the support bracket (an L-shaped or flat metal piece).

  • Insert a pry bar or use the hydraulic lift (if equipped) to gently raise the motor box.

  • Fix the support bracket underneath the motor box to hold it securely in the raised position. This prevents accidental lowering during the changeover.

Safety tip: Never work under an unsupported motor box. Always use the mechanical lock or bracket.

Step 3 – Remove the Original Paver Mould (Fitting Brake Mode)

  • Use a wrench to unscrew the four bolts (one on each corner) that secure the current mould.

  • Remove the mould carefully and set it aside on a clean wooden pallet.

  • Also remove any side plates or guide rails that are specific to the paver mould.

Step 4 – Understand the Height Difference

Why do we need to adjust height?

  • Paver mould height: 60 mm

  • Hollow block mould height: 200 mm

  • Difference: 140 mm

Therefore, you must lower the mould support plate by 140 mm to accommodate the taller hollow block mould.

Step 5 – Adjust the Tie Rods and Nuts

The SSM 35 machine has vertical tie rods (threaded rods) that connect the upper mould holder to the lower mould base. The height is adjusted by moving the locking nuts.

  • Locate the locking nuts on each tie rod (usually near the top or bottom).

  • Use a wrench to loosen the upper nuts.

  • Slide the tie rod downwards (or move the nut to a lower position) by exactly 140 mm. You can use a measuring tape or a pre-marked scale on the machine frame.

  • Once the rod is at the new position, tighten the locking nuts firmly.

Repeat this for all four tie rods (one on each corner). Ensure all are adjusted equally to keep the mould level.

Step 6 – Install the Hollow Block Mould

  • Lift the hollow block mould (it will be heavier and taller than the paver mould).

  • Carefully lower it onto the mould support plate.

  • Align the mould with the guide pins and the hydraulic injection plate.

  • Insert the springs and screws provided with the new mould. These help absorb vibration and keep the mould in place.

  • Screw down the four corner bolts (hand-tighten first, then use a wrench).

Step 7 – Lower the Motor Box

  • Remove the support bracket.

  • Gently lower the motor box until it rests on top of the new mould.

  • Critical check: The motor box must touch the pallet (or the top of the mould) evenly. If there is any gap, the vibration will not transfer properly, resulting in poorly compacted blocks.

  • Use a spacer pallet (a flat wooden board) on top of the mould to help distribute pressure evenly.

Step 8 – Fine-Tune Alignment Using Vibration

If you rely only on your eyes to align the mould, it may not be perfectly centered. The SSM 35 has a smart feature: self-aligning vibration.

  • Switch on the vibration motors for a few seconds (short burst).

  • The vibration will naturally settle the mould into the correct position – it will “suck” the mould into perfect alignment with the motor box and the pallet.

  • After vibration, check that the mould is flush and centered.

Step 9 – Adjust the Height Limit Switches

The machine’s PLC control system has height limit sensors that determine the upper and lower positions of the press plate. For hollow blocks (200 mm), you must adjust these settings.

  • Consult your SSM 35 manual for the exact procedure (usually via the touch screen or control panel).

  • Set the upper limit to accommodate the taller mould (increase by 140 mm).

  • Test a single cycle (without raw material) to ensure no mechanical interference.

Step 10 – Tighten All Bolts and Final Check

  • Double-check all four corner bolts – tighten them firmly.

  • Ensure all springs and screws are properly seated.

  • Remove any tools or debris from the machine area.

  • Perform a manual test cycle (empty mould) to verify smooth operation.

  • Check that the pallet is fully seated and that the mould box closes without gaps.


  1. Lifting the motor box and fixing a support bracket.

  2. Removing the paver mould (fitting brake mode).

  3. Loosening the tie rod nuts and lowering them by 140 mm.

  4. Installing the taller hollow block mould (200 mm height).

  5. Using vibration to self-align the mould.

  6. Securing all bolts and performing a test cycle.

The entire process takes 15-20 minutes for an experienced operator. Silver Steel Mills provides on-site training to all SSM 35 buyers, ensuring your team masters this changeover quickly.


Key Differences: Paver Mould vs Hollow Block Mould

Feature Paver Mould Hollow Block Mould
Product height 50-60 mm 200 mm
Mould weight Lighter Heavier (requires more support)
Cavities Solid or small interlocking shapes 2-3 rectangular hollow cores
Vibration requirement Medium frequency High frequency (20 HP dual motors recommended)
Hydraulic pressure 150-200 tons 200-300 tons (use SSM 35’s full capacity)

Common Mistakes to Avoid

Mistake Consequence Solution
Not lifting motor box high enough Mould won’t slide in/out Use support bracket and raise fully
Uneven tie rod adjustment Mould tilts, blocks will be wedge-shaped Measure each corner equally
Forgetting to tighten corner bolts Mould shifts during production, damage to machine Use torque wrench or double-check
Skipping self-alignment vibration Mould off-center, blocks will have uneven thickness Always run short vibration burst
Not adjusting PLC height limits Machine tries to over-travel, may damage sensors Refer to manual or call Silver Steel Mills support

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: How often do I need to change the mould?

A: As often as your production schedule demands. Some operators change moulds daily (morning: pavers, afternoon: hollow blocks). The SSM 35 is designed for frequent changeovers.

Q2: Can one person perform the mould change?

A: Yes, an experienced operator can do it alone. However, for safety, it is recommended to have a helper when handling heavy moulds (over 100 kg).

Q3: Do I need special lubricants for the tie rods?

A: Apply a light coat of grease to the threads periodically to prevent seizing.

Q4: What if the mould does not align perfectly after vibration?

A: Loosen the corner bolts slightly, run vibration again, then re-tighten. If problem persists, contact Silver Steel Mills support.

Q5: How do I store unused moulds?

A: Keep them on a flat wooden pallet, covered with plastic to prevent rust. Apply anti-rust oil before long-term storage.

With over 500 installations nationwide – including CPEC motorway plants, Nishat Power fly ash brick plants, DHA Multan paver plants, and Gulberg Green block factories – we have the experience and engineering excellence to support your success.

Our SSM series machines (SSM 15, 18, 24, 28, 35, 50) are fully automatic, heavy-duty, and designed for Pakistani conditions. We provide complete turnkey solutions: design, manufacturing, installation, operator training, and after-sales support.

1. Understanding Your Production Scale

We categorize our machinery into two primary functional groups: Semi-Automatic for growing SMEs and Fully Automatic for industrial-scale operations.

The Semi-Automatic Lineup (SSM 15 & SSM 18)

These models are perfect for entrepreneurs starting their journey. They offer the perfect balance between manual oversight and automated compression.

  • SSM 15 (Single Portion): Designed for versatility, this machine utilizes an auto-pallet system with a single-trolley delivery matrix. It is the workhorse for smaller housing schemes.

  • SSM 18 (Biomass/Fly Ash Focused): Engineered specifically to handle abrasive industrial wastes. It features extra-large storage hoppers and reinforced chrome shafts to handle the density of biomass and fly ash recipes.

The Fully Automatic Lineup (SSM 24, SSM 35, & SSM 50)

These machines feature our Digital Batching Operating System. They are “multi-functional,” meaning you can produce blocks, hollow units, curbstone, or pavers simply by switching the CNC-engraved die mould.

  • SSM 24: Our double-layer plant that allows you to apply a premium pigment-rich top surface to your pavers.

  • SSM 35 & SSM 50: These are our industrial flagships. They incorporate a full-scale automated ecosystem: Aggregate Batching Hopper → Twin Shaft Mixer → Automatic Conveyor System → High-Pressure Hydraulic Press → Automated Product Stacker.

2. Technical Specifications: Why SSM Machines Are Superior

Our machines aren’t just heavy iron; they are calculated, precision-engineered assets. Here is what sets them apart:

The Hydraulic & Vibration Advantage

Every SSM fully automatic plant uses a dual-vibration system combined with high-pressure hydraulic pumping (capable of up to 10,000 PSI). This combination ensures that the air pockets inside the concrete are completely removed, resulting in a product that consistently hits 7,000+ PSI compressive strength. This is why products manufactured on SSM plants are routinely approved for Government and FWO-led projects.

The Integrated Batching System

In the SSM 35 and SSM 50 models, the Digital Batching System eliminates human error. It weighs sand, crush, and cement with electronic precision. When the mix is perfectly calculated, the resulting block is consistent in quality, density, and strength—every single time.

3. Machinery Model Pricing and Capacity Matrix

Model Classification Daily Capacity (8-hr shift) Key Feature
SSM 15 Semi-Auto ~8,000 Bricks Auto-Pallet delivery
SSM 18 Semi-Auto ~12,000 Bricks Fly Ash/Biomass specialized
SSM 24 Fully Auto ~18,000 Bricks Double-Layer pigment ready
SSM 35 Fully Auto ~24,000 Bricks Digital Batching & Stacker
SSM 50 Fully Auto ~40,000 Bricks Industrial Mega-Plant

(Note: Prices fluctuate based on steel market rates and hydraulic specification requirements. Please contact our sales desk at 0324-9500004 for a live itemized quotation.)

4. Why Multi-Functional Design Matters

When you invest in an SSM plant, you are investing in a product-agnostic system. One machine can produce:

  • Hollow Blocks: 12×12, 12×14, and 12×18 inch custom sizes.

  • Solid Blocks: For load-bearing foundation walls.

  • Interlocking Pavers: Zig-zag, rectangular, or cosmic shapes for parking zones.

  • Curbstones: Essential for high-traffic road medians.

By switching the Die Mould, you adapt to the market demand of the day without needing to buy a new production line. This is the definition of a smart, sustainable business.

5. The “Silver Steel” Commitment

We aren’t just selling a machine; we are selling a production solution. When you choose Silver Steel Mills:

  1. On-Site Commissioning: Our engineers arrive at your site in Lahore, Gujranwala, Karachi, or any city in Pakistan to ensure the plant is perfectly aligned.

  2. Operator Training: We train your team until they can manage the digital batching and PLC controls independently.

SSM 35 Fully Automatic Block Making Machine – Advanced Color Paver Technology (Silver Steel Mills)

Introduction – The Next Generation of Block and Paver Production

In the ever‑evolving world of construction machinery, Silver Steel Mills proudly introduces the SSM 35 Fully Automatic Block Making Machine – a state‑of‑the‑art solution for producing high‑strength concrete blocks, interlocking pavers, and colorful surface pavers with unmatched precision and efficiency.

Building on years of engineering excellence and customer feedback from projects across Pakistan (including CPEC motorway, DHA Multan, and Nishat Power), the SSM 35 incorporates five major design improvements that extend machine life, reduce maintenance costs, and enhance product quality – especially for color‑pigmented pavers.

This article walks you through the technical innovations, the unique color material feeding system, and how the SSM 35 outperforms older models, saving you both material and money.


Overview – SSM 35 at a Glance

Parameter Specification
Model SSM 35 (Fully Automatic)
Cycle Time 15‑20 seconds
Hydraulic Pressure 300 tons
Vibration Dual 20 HP motors (under‑bed + shaft)
Total Power 45‑50 kW (25 kW meter sufficient)
Pallet Size 889 × 1219 × 38 mm
Daily Output Up to 18,000 pavers or 12,000 hollow blocks
Special Feature Integrated color material feeding system for multi‑layer pavers

Key Design Improvements Over Previous Models

1. Unified Material Cutting Channel (Single vs. Double)

Older design: Used two channels (upper and lower) to guide the concrete material cut, causing excessive wear and misalignment.

SSM 35 innovation: A single, reinforced channel now supports the material cutting carriage. This simplification reduces friction points, increases rigidity, and ensures smoother forward/back movement of the concrete feed box.

  • ✅ Less wear on bearings and channels

  • ✅ More stable material feeding

  • ✅ Longer service life of the cutting carriage


2. Advanced Spring‑Loaded Vibration Dampening

Wear between the material cutting channel and the bearings is a common failure point in block machines. The SSM 35 integrates eight heavy‑duty springs (positions: front, rear, sides, and interior) that actively absorb vibration and reduce metal‑to‑metal contact.

Spring Location Quantity Function
Front side visible 2 Absorb forward impact
Rear side 2 Absorb backward impact
Left interior 2 Reduce lateral wear
Right interior 2 Balance channel movement
Total 8 Maximum dampening

Result: Bearings and channels last 30‑40% longer, reducing downtime and replacement costs.


3. Heat‑Treated Bearings and Channels

All critical wear parts – including the linear bearings and the steel channel – are heat‑treated to achieve higher hardness and strength than normal steel.

  • Brinell hardness increased by 25%

  • Wear resistance improved by 40%

  • Suitable for continuous 16‑hour shifts in Pakistan’s hot climate (45‑50°C)


4. Extended Channel for Mold Protection

In previous versions, the material cutting channel ended before the mold area. When the carriage moved forward, it would drop the concrete mix directly onto the mold surface, causing accelerated mold wear and uneven filling.

SSM 35 solution: The channel is now extended all the way to the end of the mold area. This means:

  • The concrete carriage remains supported until it fully clears the mold.

  • No direct impact of the carriage on the mold edges.

  • Mold life increases by up to 50%.

  • Better concrete distribution = higher block strength uniformity.


5. Color Material Feeding System – The Biggest Upgrade

The SSM 35 features a dedicated, fully automatic color feeding system that allows you to produce two‑layer pavers (a strong grey concrete base + a thin colorful top layer) without manual intervention.

How It Works:

  1. Base concrete (grey) is fed via the main hopper.

  2. Color pigment mix (e.g., red, yellow, green) is loaded into a separate small hopper.

  3. The color carriage moves forward, spreads the colored material evenly over the mold surface.

  4. Then it retracts, and the main carriage feeds the base concrete.

  5. The hydraulic press and vibration units compact both layers into a single, solid paver with a beautifully colored top surface.

Key Advantages of the New Color System:

Feature Benefit
Same‑level channel connection Color carriage runs on the same channel as the main carriage – no extra alignment needed.
Spring‑loaded carriage Reduces wear on the color feeding box and mold.
Clean retraction Springs help scrape off excess color material, preventing waste and color contamination.
Up to 95% pigment savings The system clears almost all leftover pigment from the mold area, returning it to the hopper.

“With the SSM 35 color feeding system, you waste less than 5% of expensive pigments – a huge saving for colored paver production.”


Real‑World Application – Nigerian Customer’s Interlocking Pavers

A customer from Nigeria ordered the SSM 35 specifically for producing beautiful interlocking colored pavers for a large housing project. The machine delivered:

  • Perfect surface texture – smooth and uniform

  • Vivid, long‑lasting colors – no fading or bleeding

  • High strength – withstood heavy truck traffic

The customer was particularly impressed by the color feeding system’s ability to produce a very soft, powder‑like pigment layer – resulting in an ultra‑smooth, almost polished paver surface.

3. Operational Workflow of a Turnkey Automatic Plant

To maintain high production speeds without bottlenecking, an SSM plant integrates several stages into a single continuous loop:

  [ AUTOMATED BATCHING HOPPERS ] ──> [ REINFORCED CONVEYOR ] ──> [ COMPULSORY MIXER CORE ]
                                                                             │
  [ AUTOMATED CURED STACKING ]   <── [ HYDRAULIC PRESS / MOLD ]  <─── [ OVERHEAD FEEDER ]
  1. Digital Batching Zone: Sand, aggregate dust, and fly ash are loaded into automated batching bins. Built-in electronic load cells weigh each material precisely according to the pre-programmed mix design.

  2. Compulsory Mixing Zone: The measured aggregates move up a heavy belt conveyor into a twin-shaft or pan mixer. Cement and water are added automatically to ensure a homogeneous, zero-slump concrete blend.

  3. Molding & Compression Zone: The wet mix travels into the machine’s primary hopper and fills the lower die mould. The machine applies intense downward hydraulic pressure (up to 10,000 PSI) combined with high-frequency table vibration, removing all air pockets to pack the concrete tightly within seconds.

  4. Automatic Stacking: The freshly pressed blocks travel forward on their wooden pallets into the automated stacker machine. The stacker groups the pallets vertically, making it easy for forklifts to safely transport them to the curing yard.

4. Project Feasibility: The Financial & Environmental Payback (SSM 35 Case Study)

Investing in an automated concrete block plant provides strong commercial returns compared to running an old-style clay brick kiln. Data from the SSM 35 Pre-Feasibility Study highlights the clear financial advantages for investors in Pakistan:

  • Daily Production Output: Based on a conservative single-shift schedule producing 24,000 fly ash bricks a day (with an estimated target of 500,000 bricks per month over 25 operational working days).

  • Manufacturing Cost vs. Market Value: The exact cost of production averages Rs. 12 per brick (including cement, aggregates, fly ash, labor, electrical power, and machinery depreciation). These units sell easily at a factory-gate price of Rs. 16 per brick.

SSM 35 Fully Automatic Hydraulic Block Making Machine – Complete Maintenance & Operation Guide by Silver Steel Mills

Introduction – Your Partner in High-Quality Block Production

At Silver Steel Mills, we understand that owning a block making machine is only half the journey. The other half is knowing how to operate, maintain, and troubleshoot it for years of trouble-free production. That’s why we’ve created this comprehensive guide for our flagship SSM 35 fully automatic hydraulic block making machine – the preferred choice for contractors, housing schemes, and infrastructure projects across Pakistan.

This guide covers everything from pre-delivery oil filling to daily maintenance, mold adjustment, hydraulic system care, and common troubleshooting. Whether you’re a new operator or an experienced plant manager, this article will help you get the most out of your SSM 35.


1. Pre‑Delivery Oil Filling – Why Silver Steel Mills Does It for You

One of the most common questions we receive is about hydraulic oil filling. Many customers who buy from other suppliers receive their machine without any oil, leading to immediate damage during first use.

At Silver Steel Mills, we fill the hydraulic oil before delivery. Here’s how it works:

  • Oil filling point: Located at the top of the hydraulic tank (pictured below). We use a high‑grade anti‑wear hydraulic oil (ISO VG 46) suitable for Pakistan’s ambient temperatures (up to 50°C).

  • Filter protection: Inside the filling port, there is a built‑in filter mesh that prevents any debris from entering the hydraulic system. This extends the life of the pump, valves, and cylinders.

  • Why we do it: When you receive your SSM 35, it is ready to run. You don’t need to guess the oil type or quantity. We’ve already tested the system at our factory in Gujranwala.

Pro tip from Silver Steel Mills: After six months of operation, you should drain all the old hydraulic oil and replace it with fresh oil. This removes microscopic wear particles that accumulate over time.


2. Checking the Hydraulic Oil Level – The “Half‑Tube” Rule

Proper oil level is critical for the vibration system. Too little oil and the vibration box will overheat; too much oil and the vibration motors struggle to rotate.

How to check oil level on your SSM 35:

  • Locate the oil level indicator tube (a small transparent pipe connected to the vibration box).

  • The oil should reach exactly halfway up this tube.

  • If it’s below half, add oil slowly through the filling port.

  • If it’s above half, drain a small amount until it reaches the half mark.

Why half is perfect:
The vibration motors rely on the oil to both lubricate and cool internal bearings. When the oil level is exactly half, the motors rotate freely without excessive resistance. Overfilling creates hydraulic lock, causing the motors to overheat and fail prematurely.

“Some other suppliers don’t even include an oil level indicator. On the SSM 35, we’ve made it standard – because we want your machine to last.” – Senior Engineer, Silver Steel Mills


3. Belt Tension Adjustment – Avoiding Vibration Loss

Between the electric motor and the vibration box, there is a heavy‑duty V‑belt. Over time, this belt can stretch, reducing vibration force and resulting in weak blocks.

How to check belt tension on your SSM 35:

  • Turn off the machine and disconnect power.

  • Press the belt with your thumb at the midpoint between the two pulleys.

  • A correctly tensioned belt should deflect about 10‑15 mm (roughly the thickness of two fingers).

  • If it deflects more (feels loose), you need to tighten it.

How to tighten the belt:

  1. Loosen the four mounting bolts on the electric motor base.

  2. Turn the adjustment screw (located behind the motor) to move the motor away from the vibration box.

  3. Retighten the motor bolts.

  4. Recheck deflection – do not over‑tighten. An overtightened belt will damage motor bearings.

Caution: A loose belt means the vibration box receives less force, leading to poorly compacted blocks that crumble during curing. A too‑tight belt overheats the motor and shortens its life.


4. Superior Welding & Frame Strength – Why SSM 35 Outlasts Others

The SSM 35 frame is built from heat‑treated steel channels. Why is heat treatment important?

  • Ordinary steel channels become brittle after repeated high‑frequency vibration. Within 3‑6 months, they can crack.

  • Heat‑treated steel retains its strength and flexibility, lasting for years under full load.

Look at our welding:
We use double‑sided, continuous welds on all critical joints – especially the mold plate reinforcement. You’ll notice that we add two extra screw caps with locking tips to prevent the mold plate from shifting under intense vibration.

“Many customers tell us that their previous machine from another supplier broke at the welds within a year. Our SSM 35 is still running after five years – same welds, no cracks.” – Production Manager, Silver Steel Mills


5. Mold Adjustment – The 1 cm Space Rule

One of the most frequent maintenance errors is incorrect mold height adjustment. If the mold box touches the vibration platform when lowered, the vibration springs have no room to work – resulting in zero compaction.

Correct adjustment for SSM 35:

  • When the mold is in its lowest position, there must be a 10 mm (1 cm) gap between the bottom of the mold box and the steel platform.

  • This gap allows the vibration springs to oscillate freely, transferring maximum energy to the concrete mix.

  • Additionally, the nylon columns (five on each side) also provide an extra 10‑15 mm of vibration travel. These nylon parts are wear‑resistant and can be replaced when worn.

How to adjust the mold height:

  1. Loosen the lock nuts on the four tie‑rods connecting the mold box to the main frame.

  2. Turn the adjusting nuts equally on all four sides to raise or lower the mold.

  3. Use a steel ruler to verify the 10 mm gap at both front and rear.

  4. Retighten the lock nuts.

Important: Always keep the pallet feeder properly aligned. The wooden or steel pallet should sit flat and snug against the platform. If the pallet is warped or misaligned, the mold will not close evenly, leading to cracked blocks.


6. Column Lubrication & Copper Sleeves – Stopping Premature Wear

A common complaint with cheap block machines is that the four main columns (guide rods) wear out quickly or even break. On the SSM 35, we’ve solved this with three key design features:

6.1. Grease Points

Each column has a grease nipple at the top. You must pump high‑quality lithium grease into these nipples every week. Without grease, the metal‑on‑metal friction will rapidly wear the columns.

6.2. Copper Sleeves (Wear Rings)

Inside the upper and lower bushing housings, we install copper sleeves. Copper is self‑lubricating and much softer than steel, so it wears instead of the expensive column. When the copper sleeve wears out (usually after 2‑3 years), you simply replace the sleeve – not the entire column.

Many other manufacturers skip these copper sleeves to save cost. Their columns then grind directly against the steel housing, causing deep scoring and eventual breakage.

6.3. Balance System – Four Columns Moving in Sync

The SSM 35 is equipped with a mechanical balance mechanism (a steel rack‑and‑pinion system) that forces all four columns to rise and fall at the same speed. This eliminates uneven loading that would otherwise cause one column to wear faster.

“Without a balance system, the mold box can tilt, putting all the stress on one column. That column then snaps – and your production stops for weeks.” – Field Service Engineer, Silver Steel Mills


7. Hydraulic Cylinder & Sensor Position – Troubleshooting “Can’t Lift” Errors

Some operators report that their block machine’s hydraulic cylinder won’t lift the mold box, even though the pump is running. Most often, this is due to a sensor position problem, not a hydraulic failure.

The SSM 35 has a computerized protection system (PLC) that monitors the position of all hydraulic cylinders. If any cylinder is not at its “home” (original) position, the machine will not execute the next command – preventing accidental damage.

7.1. Pallet Feeder Cylinder Sensor

  • There is a sensor at the back of the pallet feeder cylinder. When the cylinder is fully retracted (home position), a metal flag trips this sensor, and its indicator light turns on.

  • If this sensor is not lit, the machine thinks the pallet feeder is still forward, and it will not allow the mold to come down.

Fix: Manually retract the pallet feeder cylinder (using the manual override button on the PLC panel) until the sensor light turns on.

7.2. Material Cut-Off Cylinder Sensor

  • Similarly, the cylinder that controls the material hopper gate has a rear sensor. When the gate is fully closed (home position), that sensor must be lit.

  • If not lit, the machine will not start the pressing cycle.

7.3. Main Press Cylinder Sensor

  • The main press cylinder (which pushes down the mold) also has an upper sensor (fully retracted position). The mold will only rise if this sensor is active.

Why this is a benefit, not a bug:
This sensor network prevents operators from accidentally starting a cycle when the machine is not properly set up. It saves you from broken molds, damaged cylinders, and injuries.


8. Daily & Weekly Maintenance Checklist for SSM 35

To keep your SSM 35 running at peak performance, follow this simple schedule:

Frequency Task
Daily (start of shift) Check oil level in the vibration box (half‑tube rule). Grease all four column nipples (3‑5 pumps each). Inspect belts for wear and proper tension.
Daily (end of shift) Clean excess concrete from mold, platform, and pallet feeder. Blow off dust from electrical panel (use low‑pressure air).
Weekly Check all hydraulic hoses for leaks. Tighten any loose bolts on the mold, frame, and motor mounts. Inspect copper sleeves for wear.
Monthly Change the hydraulic oil filter element. Test all limit switches and sensors. Lubricate roller chains on the conveyor.
Every 6 months Drain and replace hydraulic oil (200 liters). Replace vibration motor belts. Check mold plate for flatness.
Yearly Replace copper sleeves. Overhaul hydraulic pump (check seals). Recalibrate load cells (if batching system installed).
