FINLAY has unveiled its new electric-powered 883+ heavy-duty scalping screen.
The solution is an addition to the firm’s flagship 883+ model and heralded as a ‘step forward in sustainable screening technology’.
Designed for a range of primary and secondary screening applications, the machine is suited for industries including quarrying, mining, iron ore processing, construction and demolition waste, sand, gravel, compost, topsoil, and coal.
With an ‘intelligent and flexible’ power pack, the 883+ Electric can be connected directly to the grid or powered by a genset. The electrical drive system powers the feeder, screenbox, and conveyors.
Finlay explained the 883+ Electric scalper features several upgrades designed with operator needs in mind. One improvement is the redesigned feeder, which offers hydraulically folding and locking extensions, allowing for rear feeding with a wheel loader. The hopper is now manufactured from wear-resistant steel, with the option for hopper linings.
The machine is equipped with an onboard engine that powers the tracks, said to allow for easy relocation across sites. The electric variant of the 883+ scalper delivers benefits including reductions in operating costs through grid electricity use, a smaller carbon footprint thanks to the elimination of CO2 emissions, and reduced engine noise.
Matt Dickson, business line director for Finlay, said, “As our flagship model, the 883+ has always set the standard for performance and versatility. The 883+ Electric scalper represents a forward-thinking solution for businesses looking to reduce their environmental impact, while continuing to benefit from the superior performance and flexibility that Finlay equipment is renowned for.”
