UK debut for Terex Finlay 684 tracked mobile inclined screen

Following its recent global launch at Intermat, in Paris, Hillhead 2012 will see the UK debut of the Terex Finlay 684 inclined screen.

The 684 is a compact, easily transportable, highly versatile and adaptable machine engineered and built for working in quarrying, mining, construction and demolition debris, topsoil, recycling, sand, gravel, coal and aggregate applications.

The new screenbox on the 684 features three full size 4.3m x 1.7m (14ft x 5ft 7in) inclined decks giving a large screening area of 21.9 square metres (236 square feet) to provide efficient screening and high capacity. The screenbox features quick wedge tensioning, access holes and a bottom-deck hydraulic tensioning system to reduce time required for mesh changes.

All four discharge conveyors hydraulically fold for transport providing the operator with rapid set-up and tear-down times. The fully self-contained plant can be hydraulically folded and ready for transport in less than 30min, making it the ideal machine for contract screening. The fourth product ‘oversize plus’ conveyor can work at varying angles to accurately discharge material for recirculation and stockpiling

A high-performance 1,050mm (42in) belt feeder, with hydraulic gearbox drive, is fitted to the machine as standard and has proven performance and versatility in demanding and varied working environments. The hopper has an 8 cubic metre (10.5 cubic yard) capacity as standard and can be fitted with a 14ft tipping grid or 12ft vibrating grid.

A Caterpillar C4 82kW (111hp) air-cooled engine is used to power the machine. The heavy-duty crawler tracks and optional radio remote-control unit make on site mobility very easy.

Key features of the Terex Finlay 684 include:

• New triple-deck configuration with three full-size decks with full catwalk access.
• Fourth (oversize plus) conveyor can work at varying angles and can discharge from 15–24 degrees for recirculation to the crusher or for stockpiling.
• Maximum utilization of three full-size decks provides ultra-efficient screening capabilities even at small aggregate sizes.
• Combination of quick wedge tensioning, convenient access holes and hydraulic tensioning on the bottom deck ensure mesh set-up and change-out times are kept to a minimum.
