FINLAY has announced plans to unveil new electric variants of the I-120RS impact crusher and 883+ scalping screen at Hillhead 2024.
These models will be showcased in the working demonstration area, featuring electric-powered technology that enables operation from either a mains electric power supply or a secondary source such as a genset. The demonstrations will be powered by the new Finlay TG500 genset.
The manufacturer said the electrification of these machines represents an ongoing effort to offer environmentally friendly solutions, ‘without compromising on performance or reliability’.
Matt Dickson, business line director for Finlay, explained, “The features integrated into these electric machines will empower customers to achieve their sustainability objectives while maintaining the mobility and ease of movement that are hallmarks of our equipment.”
The electric Finlay I-120RS is said to provide the flexibility of a mobile impact crushing and screening plant on one platform. The on-board quick detach 3.66m x 1.53m two deck screen is designed to ensure a quality cubical product. For applications not requiring recirculation of materials for further processing or stockpiling, the complete screening and recirculating system can be quickly detached from the plant.
The electric Finlay 883+ heavy-duty scalper is aimed at primary and secondary screening applications such as quarry and mining, iron ore, construction demolition waste, sand, gravel, compost, topsoil, and coal.
Both new products feature an onboard engine primarily dedicated to mobility while all operational components are powered by electricity. An additional measure is the introduction of Finlay gensets, which provide electricity to connected Finlay equipment when a plug-in connection to the grid is unavailable.
“By adopting electric-powered mobile crushing and screening equipment, customers not only achieve environmental benefits but also gain financial and operational advantages as well,” Matt Dickson added. “It also future-proofs their investments as the industry moves towards more sustainable practices — making them a forward-thinking and responsible choice for operators.”
