FINLAY has announced that its Hillhead 2026 line-up will include prototype previews and the first public sightings of new impactors.
A key focus will be the soon-to-be launched impactor range, with the I‑130RS impact crusher on static display. Positioned between the I‑120/I‑120RS and the larger I‑140/I‑140RS, Finlay said the new model is designed to address demand for a machine that delivers ‘strong impact performance while being easier to transport and configure across a wide range of applications’.
In the quarry demonstration area, the 694 inclined screen will take centre stage. The machine features two full‑size 6.1m x 1.53m (20’ x 5’) top and middle decks and a 5.55m (18’ x 5’) bottom deck, delivering screening across quarrying, mining, sand and gravel, coal, woodchip and topsoil operations. Optional hybrid technology allows operation via external electrical power or the onboard engine.
Also running in the demonstration area will be the C‑1540+ cone crusher prototype, shown as a preview ahead of its planned production launch in 2027, featuring an upgraded cone chamber for improved materials processing performance and serviceability. The live demo line-up will be completed by the J‑1170+ jaw crusher, said to deliver high production capacity with large reduction ratios and configurable operation for quarrying or construction and demolition recycling.
Finlay’s static display will include four machines, featuring several first public sightings. Alongside the I‑130RS impact crusher, visitors will see the TC-60 stacker conveyor, the 883+ heavy duty scalper, and the J‑1280 jaw crusher with independent pre-screen, extended feeder and jack leg options, which will be shown publicly in the UK for the first time since its launch in 2025.
“Hillhead gives us the opportunity to show the breadth of our offer in one location,” said Matt Dickson, business line director for Finlay. “Visitors can examine new machines such as the impactor range on static display, while prototypes and core units operate in the quarry environment, allowing performance to be assessed on material under real working conditions.
“We look forward to welcoming visitors to the stand to discuss applications, see the machines up close and engage with the team throughout the show.”
