Aggressive crusher wows the crowds

01 October 2010

THE Terex Finlay J-1480 jaw crusher was well received by large mining, quarry and owner operators during the aggressive high-performance machine’s launch at the Hillhead 2010 quarrying, recycling and heavy construction exhibition in the UK.

At the event, which was held in June this year, the machine performed live alongside the Terex Finlay C-1550 (which will be launched later this year) and a Terex Finlay 984 horizontal screener, generating a lot of interest among owners and operators who were impressed by its output. There was also a static display of a second J-1480 on the main Terex Finlay show booth.

The Terex Finlay J-1480 was also showcased at the recent Queensland Mining and Engineering Exhibition in Australia by the local dealer Finlay Australia. “Presently, a number of machines are working in Australia, with more on the way,” says a company spokesman.

The Terex Finlay J-1480 incorporates the Terex Jaques single toggle jaw crusher, which boasts a throughput capacity up to 750 tonnes per hour depending on application and material. The jaw has a fully hydraulic adjustable closed side setting.

The machine is available with direct drive to offer improved fuel efficiency and greater power utilisation or hydrostatic drive, which offers reversible operation for clearing blockages and demolition applications.

The large 10 cu m hopper has hydraulically folding sides and a hydraulic wedge clamp system providing faster machine set-up time. In addition to this capacity, optional hopper side extensions are available.

The machine features a vibrating pan feeder linked to an aggressive independently driven pre-screen which provides optimum separation of dirt, fines and difficult materials.

Selectable discharge to bypass conveyor or main conveyor is possible, and the machine is powered by a Cat C13 power unit.
