Finlay is taking a step forward in sustainable screening technology with the introduction of the electric-powered 883+ heavy-duty scalping screen, an addition to its flagship 883+ model.
Designed for a range of primary and secondary screening applications, the 883+ Electric scalping screen is ideal for industries such as quarrying, mining, iron ore processing, construction and demolition waste, sand, gravel, compost, topsoil and coal.
“As our flagship model, the 883+ has always set the standard for performance and versatility,” said Matt Dickson, Business Line Director for Finlay.
“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.”
The scalper has been developed to meet the increasing demand for efficient, environmentally friendly equipment. With an intelligent and flexible power pack, the scalper can be connected directly to the grid or powered by a genset, allowing for intuitive operation without compromising performance or application versatility.
The electrical drive system powers the feeder, screenbox and conveyors, making it an excellent solution for customers seeking to reduce their carbon footprint while maintaining high productivity.
As part of Finlay’s effort to develop adaptable and user-focused solutions, the 883+ Electric scalper features several upgrades designed with the operator’s needs in mind. One such improvement is the redesigned feeder, which was developed after receiving valuable feedback from Finlay’s customers and distribution network.
The new feeder offers hydraulically folding and locking extensions, allowing for rear feeding with a wheel loader for added flexibility in material handling.
As well, the hopper is manufactured from wear-resistant steel, with the option for hopper linings, providing enhanced durability in tough operating environments.
In response to evolving industry demands, the 883+ Electric scalper is also engineered with mobility in mind. The machine is equipped with an onboard engine that powers the tracks, allowing for relocation across job sites. This ensures customers can continue to move and position their equipment with minimal effort, regardless of power source availability.
The electric variant of the 883+ scalper delivers several key benefits, including significant reductions in operating costs through grid electricity use, a smaller carbon footprint thanks to the elimination of carbon dioxide emissions, and reduced engine noise, which is ideal for operations in urban and indoor settings.
Furthermore, the shift to electric power typically results in lower maintenance requirements than their diesel counterparts, leading to reduced costs and longer service intervals, ensuring maximized machine uptime and productivity.
