Finlay introduce new 883+ Electric scalper
New electric-powered machine marks step forward in sustainable screening technology
FINLAY, a global leader in mobile crushing, screening, and conveying equipment, have introduced the electric-powered 883+ heavy-duty scalping screen, an addition to their flagship 883+ model and a step forward in sustainable screening technology.
Designed for a range of primary and secondary screening applications, the machine is well suited to industries such as quarrying, mining, construction and demolition waste, sand and gravel, and coal.
The Finlay 883+ Electric scalper has been developed to meet the growing demand for efficient, environmentally friendly equipment. With an intelligent and flexible power pack, the machine 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 ongoing commitment to providing adaptable and user-focused solutions, the 883+ Electric scalper features several upgrades designed with operator needs in mind. One such improvement is the redesigned feeder, which was developed after receiving valuable feedback from Finlay’s distribution network and customers. The new feeder offers hydraulically folding and locking extensions, allowing for rear feeding with a wheel loader for added flexibility in material handling. Additionally, the hopper is now 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 easy relocation across job sites. This ensures that 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 CO2 emissions, and reduced engine noise – ideal for operations in urban and indoor settings. Moreover, the shift to electric power typically results in lower maintenance requirements than the machine’s diesel counterpart, leading to reduced costs and longer service intervals, ensuring maximized machine uptime and productivity.
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.’
