Terex Finlay 883 reclaimer for Grab & Deliver Ltd

Finlay Plant Northern supply screening plant to Durham-based recycling firm

GRAB & Deliver Ltd are reaping the rewards of increased productivity and space-saving benefits since taking delivery of a Terex Finlay 883 reclaimer from Finlay Plant Northern.

The recycling firm, who have been operating for seven years, acquired the three-way split screener to replace two individual machines, as well as to free up space on their Houghton-le-Spring site where they process inert waste.

Complete with a hardened steel pan apron feeder and raised chassis for additional height, the new reclaimer has doubled production on site. The machine’s screenbox is fitted with 55mm heavy-duty tines and a 10mm mesh, sorting waste into +55mm, –55mm +10mm and –10mm stockpiles.

The +55mm waste feeds directly into a crusher for further processing, while the –55mm +10mm material is sold as bulk fill. The remaining fraction is soil, which is sold for landscaping, while around 5% of the waste is sent to landfill – this being mostly clay.

Charles Nairn, a director at Finlay Plant Northern, said: ‘Grab & Deliver Ltd came to us because they needed a machine that could be raised high enough to feed directly into a crusher. The 883 reclaimer fitted the bill.’

Peter Barrass, a director at Grab & Deliver Ltd, added: ‘We looked at a number of other makes, but the three-way conveyor set-up on the Terex Finlay machine fitted with our site layout. As well as increasing production, the machine is also a lot quieter than the ones we had before and it uses less fuel.’
