Finlay Plant deliver first new-look machine

A NEW-look Terex Finlay 883 reclaimer has been supplied to Henshaws, the Macclesfield-based waste-management company, by Finlay Plant North West – part of the Finlay Group of companies.

Featuring the all-new white paintwork that is being progressively introduced by Terex Finlay to replace the previous orange colour, this is the third 883 reclaimer supplied by Finlay Plant North West to Henshaws within the last five years.

The two previously supplied machines have already allowed Henshaws to increase their recycling rate to 90%, and the latest version, which comes with longer conveyors, will further enhance the stockpiling capability and allow the company to recycle even more waste.

Commenting on the machine, founder and managing director Joe Henshaw said: ‘We have been working with Finlay Plant North West for more than 15 years, and they’ve been on hand to offer the machinery we need to grow the business.

‘We originally started out with barrel screens, then trommels, before moving on to the reclaimers. The 883 has transformed our operations here. We’ve found it will work all year round, and is capable of dealing with skip waste direct.’

With a processing rate of up to 500 tonnes/h, the Finlay 883 can work as an aggregate screener after a primary crusher, or on its own as a front-line screening machine.

Neil Partington, managing director of Finlay Plant North West said: ‘The Terex Finlay 883 has proved to be a really versatile piece of equipment. Designed specifically for the recycling industry, it is also suited to working in quarry waste, construction and demolition debris, topsoil, timber, slag and aggregates.’
