An impressive display from Terex Finlay

Company introduces new crushing and screening models at global dealer conference

TEREX Finlay recently hosted a three-day global dealer conference and new product demonstration event in London. The event was held from 30 September to 2 October 2014 and attracted more than 300 international dealers and customers from over 90 countries worldwide.

A packed programme of events included a business conference, live product demonstrations and an end-user open day. During the conference, held at the Tower Hotel in London, delegates were introduced to the Terex Finlay business strategy and key focus areas for growth over the next three years.

Key to Terex Finlay’s growth and expansion plans is an aggressive new product initiative and development strategy which will see the business double its current product range in the same time period.

The product demonstration events were located at OCL Regenerations in Dartford, recognized experts and leaders in the provision of sustainable material solutions in the South East. The two days of on-site demonstrations featured no fewer than 20 recent product launches and/or prototypes of Terex Finlay models due to be released during 2015.

Three new products were officially launched to dealers and end-users at the conference, including the J-1175 dual-power jaw crusher, the C-1540 dual-power cone crusher and the 693+ inclined screen incorporating the innovative Spaleck screen box.

The dual-powered crushers can be electrically driven, allowing users to run from electrical supply with the aim of achieving significant savings on energy costs. These machines are also fitted with an onboard genset, allowing the operator to move and use the machine where there is no electric supply, giving the flexibility and versatility of current standard models. These machines join the 694+ dual-powered inclined screener that was launched in 2013.

These latest product launches mean that Terex Finlay can now offer operators a full mobile crushing and screening train that can be powered from mains electric and has the flexibility to run self-powered if required. In applications where a full train is powered by the on-board genset configuration, the crushers generate sufficient energy to allow the 694+ dual-power inclined screen to run for ‘free’ when used in conjunction with the J-1175 dual-power jaw crusher.

The third new product launch was the 693+ inclined screen incorporating Spaleck screening technology, which features a unique flip-flow top and bottom deck to guarantee first-class screening of wet, moist, dry and/or mixed materials, including recycling and skip waste, fines, compost, waste wood, aggregates and ores.

Terex Finlay say the official launch of these three new machines follows a rigorous development cycle which has seen the machines tested and proven in challenging and diverse product applications across Western Europe. In addition, a large number of prototype machines were previewed at the demonstration events, including: the J-1170AS jaw crusher; V-2050 vertical-shaft impactor; C-1554 cone crusher; C1545 cone crusher; and 873 heavy-duty screen.

The new J-1170AS jaw crusher provides the flexibility of a crushing and screening plant on one machine. The machine features a detachable sizing screen that gives operators the capability of producing two spec-sized products. The machine was demonstrated working in a concrete recycling application and will be officially launched in the first quarter of 2015.

The new V-2050 vertical-shaft impact crusher has been engineered for operators who require a high-specification product and large production tonnages. The machine incorporates the proven Canica V-2050 chamber with unique ‘Dual Flow’ configuration that will give operators high tonnage throughput with low production costs.

The new C-1554 cone crusher has been engineered for operators who require a highly aggressive cone with a high reduction ratio. The machine incorporates the renowned MVP450X screw cone chamber. This highly efficient cone chamber produces a higher percentage of sized products in a single pass, generating less fines material and, therefore, a more valuable product for increased profitability.

The new C-1545 cone crusher has been engineered for operators who require a medium-sized cone crusher with large throughput capacity whilst offering the flexibility of direct feeding or the ability to remove or bypass fines from the chamber via an on-board pre-screen module.

Finally, the new 873 heavy-duty screen has been engineered to work as a primary screen in quarry, demolition, C&DW recycling, landfill material, topsoil, sand and gravel, coal, slag, ore processing and aggregates. This new model, when officially launched, will offer small- and medium-sized operators an aggressive, flexible and class-leading machine with a wide range of available screening media configurations.

Nigel Irvine, Terex Finlay’s sales & marketing director, commented: ‘It was a pleasure to welcome a huge contingent of our international distribution network to London for the 2014 Terex Finlay Business Conference. This event provided an ideal platform to showcase the significant level of investment in new product development across our entire range.

‘An impressive display of 20 machines in one location physically demonstrated the breadth of our product portfolio. During the conference, we outlined our aggressive new product road map, shared a clear vision of where we and our business partners should be positioned in the coming years, and reinforced our commitment to provide world-class products supported by exceptional levels of customer service. The conference stamped a solid signal of intent to grow our businesses together, for mutual success.’
