Two new impact crushers added to Finlay portfolio

Positioned between the I‑120/I‑120RS and the larger I‑140/I‑140RS, the new models address demand for a machine that “delivers strong impact performance while being easier to transport and configure across a wide range of applications,” said Finlay.

The crushers have a 1065 x 1245 mm (42 x 49 in) four‑bar rotor with twin hydraulic aprons and direct‑drive system with soft‑start for smooth engagement, fuel efficiency and reduced wear on drivetrain components.

Material is delivered to the chamber via a heavy‑duty vibrating grizzly feeder, with the option to add an independent pre‑screen for removing fines ahead of the chamber.

Beneath the chamber, an optional under‑pan feeder provides additional belt protection, managing rebar and directing material onto the main product conveyor when used in conjunction with the optional overband magnet.

The Finlay I‑130 crusher has been designed for operators who do not require onboard screening and recirculation as a “practical solution for high‑output crushing across multiple applications.”

For operations requiring closed‑loop crushing and on‑board screening, the I‑130RS model integrates a high‑capacity two‑deck afterscreen and recirculation system within the same mid-range platform.

According to the company, the large two‑deck afterscreen is the biggest in its class, providing high throughput, screening capacity and flexibility of configuration.

Both decks can be recirculated for closed‑loop applications or operators can divert bottom‑deck oversized material to produce a mid‑grade product without the need for a separate screener.

The 500 mm (20 in) recirculation conveyor slews up to 90 degrees, allowing material to be stockpiled when required.

For recycling and C&D applications, an optional windsifter can be fitted to the afterscreen to remove light contaminants such as wood, paper and plastic, improving final product quality.

The modular design of the I‑130RS allows it to be detached to reduce transport weight when screening is not required. Alternatively, the RS conveyor can remain in place while only the afterscreen is removed.

Both models have large platforms, clear walkways and ‘straightforward’ maintenance points. Fully hinged crusher sections simplify blow bar changes and liner inspections, helping reduce downtime and improve safety.

“[T]he I‑130 and I‑130RS were developed to meet demand for a more transport‑friendly impact crusher with increased configuration flexibility,” said Matt Dickson, business line director.

“The result is a machine that can be tailored to suit a range of recycling and quarrying applications, with options including use of a pre-screen, under-pan feeder, windsifter and onboard recirculation, while remaining easy to operate and maintain for efficient, low‑complexity production on site.”
