Silver Motor, deep well pumps produced by the Turkish farmers to meet the needs of a large and all the orders of the State Water Works was met.

The thought of producing silver motor engine launched in Turkey has disturbed some segments and Silver engines were imported for the immersion of the motor considering the huge loss was driven by the domestic market for several years. In 1964, the Silver engine, unable to get state support, began to suffer.
