Over a 3-day period in June, Aberdeen’s Northern Lights were forced to play 2nd fiddle to an awesome demonstration of crushing and screening equipment. Terex Finlay held its largest ever customer open event at Jim Jamieson’s Quarry, Ellon near Aberdeen in Scotland, highlighting all of its new models for both quarrying and recycling applications.
With the presence of more than 300 users and dealers from China, Australasia, Russia and CIS states, Africa, the Middle East, Europe and the Americas, this was truly an international affair. In total, 13 different models were demonstrated and previewed in both quarry and recycling applications. The highlight of the demonstration was a single-plant configuration consisting of 8 different models, featuring new Terex Finlay products introduced to date in 2013 and a number of new models that will be launched later in the year. Guests had the opportunity to view all the machines working and then inspect them close up with Terex Finlay staff to explain the new products’ features and benefits.
A host of new recently launched models and upcoming product launches were previewed. In the main quarry demonstration, the new models presented included NEW J-1480 jaw crusher with direct drive jaw crusher, NEW 893 heavy duty screener, NEW 684 2-deck inclined screener, and NEW 694+ Optidrive inclined screener, a diesel/electric dual power alternative to the ever popular 3-way split screen. Other models that featured as part of the train included the C-1550 cone crusher, J-1175 jaw crusher and I-130RS impact crusher. The line-up was completed with the incorporation of the Terex Finlay C-1540 cone crusher. The particular model on display featured the NEW on board side conveyor configuration that affords operators the opportunity to remove pre-screened fine material from the plant.
In the recycling demonstration area, there were three models: J-1170 jaw crusher, NEW I-100RS impact crusher and new Terex Finlay 883 with Spaleck screen.
