New Terex Finlay machines for Cat Plant

Terex Finlay 694+ Supertrak machine

Cat Plant upgrade with new 693+ and 694+ Supertrak machines supplied by Finlay Plant Northern

SOUTH Yorkshire-based Cat Plant have boosted their productivity after taking delivery of two new Terex Finlay machines. Supplied by Finlay Plant Northern, the Barnsley-based company has purchased a new Terex Finlay 693+ Supertrak and a Terex Finlay 694+ Supertrak.

Cat Plant, who saw the 693+ being put through its paces at Hillhead before buying the machine, also selected the 694+ Supertrak after being impressed with the potential to ‘power up’ their production with both units.

 

Now working in conjunction with a crusher, both plant are screening products in a single-path formation and delivering major efficiencies.

Founded 35 years ago by Sid Boulton, Cat Plant is now run by son-in-law Ronnie Harrod and operates from a 136-acre limestone quarry site.

Offering plant hire and demolition services as well as running an active landfill, Cat Plant supply various aggregate products for clients undertaking industrial and commercial building projects, as well as smaller-scale house building.

Mr Harrod said: ‘We had the early models of the 693 and 694 from Finlay Plant Northern and have now exchanged these in line with our upgraded fleet. They’ve always been reliable and efficient screens and when I bought the Terex Finlay 693+ Supertrak I could see the benefits of the decks and layout, so the 694+ just seemed like the natural progression.

‘We’re really ramping up productivity now.’

The state-of-the-art Terex Finlay 694+ Supertrak and 693+ Supertrak tracked mobile inclined screens are said to offer best-in-class production levels, set-up time and ease of operation.

At Cat Plant, the Terex Finlay 694+ Supertrak is screening product at 75mm and 40mm, while the undersize is fed to the 693+ Supertrak, which is producing 20mm, 10mm and 6mm down to dust. Both plant are together producing up to 900 tonnes a day.

Finlay Plant Northern, part of the Finlay Group, have a long-standing relationship with Cat Plant which extends more than 16 years.

Martin Nairn of Finlay Plant Northern said: ‘These two machines are renowned for their screening accuracy and clean products. Cat Plant are a great company to work with and it’s good to see that the machines we’ve supplied for them are really proving their worth out on site.’
