Finlay introduces new cost-efficient electric-powered heavy-duty scalping screen
The 883+ Electric scalper features a redesigned feeder that allows rear feeding with a wheel loader
Finlay recently launched the electric-powered 883+ heavy-duty scalping screen in addition to its flagship 883+ model to move closer to its goal of creating sustainable screening technology.
Designed for a range of primary and secondary screening applications, this machine can be used for industries such as quarrying, mining, iron ore processing, construction and demolition waste, sand, gravel, compost, topsoil, and coal.
The 883+ Electric scalper is easily adaptable on electrified job sites
Finlay shares that the 883+ Electric scalper was developed to meet the growing demand for efficient, environmentally friendly equipment. With an intelligent and flexible power pack, this 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 a clear solution for contractors looking to reduce their carbon footprint while maintaining productivity.
As part of Finlay's ongoing commitment to providing adaptable and user-focused solutions, the 883+ Electric scalper features several upgrades designed to meet operators' needs. One such improvement is the redesigned feeder, which was developed after receiving valuable feedback from Finlay's distribution network and contractors. The new feeder offers hydraulic 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.
Other key features on Finlay's flagship model
In response to evolving industry demands, the 883+ Electric scalper is also engineered to move with the needs of the task. The machine is equipped with an onboard engine that powers the tracks, allowing for easy relocation across job sites. This ensures easy movement to position 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. Also, the shift to electric power typically results in lower maintenance requirements, leading to reduced costs and longer service intervals, ensuring maximized machine uptime and productivity.
Matt Dickson, business line director for Finlay noted, "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."
