Our founder, John Finlay, laid the foundations for his business interests in 1953. With a background owning and operating his own aggregate, sand and gravel operations in Co. Tyrone, N. Ireland, Johns’ real passion was engineering.
In 1958 John called upon his engineering expertise to design and launch the world’s first hydraulic screener. It was in the same year that John successfully registered a patent for the centre placed single shaft screenbox technology that today is widely used across the industry.
It was from the invention of the single shaft screenbox that the brand ‘Finlay Hydrascreens’ was born. The Finlay Hydrascreens brand was acquired by Terex Corporation in 1999. Such was the global reputation of the Finlay Hydrascreen brand that Terex retained ‘Finlay’ and introduced today’s brand; Terex|Finlay.
The values of integrity, customer satisfaction and innovation that John Finlay instilled in the company remain key pillars of the business today. To celebrate our continued success and this landmark anniversary, Terex|Finlay will launch celebrations at the 2018 Hillhead Exhibition, 26th – 28th June 2018 in Buxton, England.

Sixty Five years is a major milestone and it brings the Finlay family back to our father John Finlay’s vision and inventiveness in 1953. He was the pioneer of screening and an inspiration to us all. He also invented the concrete block making machine and washing plant systems. We are proud that many of the major engineering companies in Northern Ireland have a direct link back to our dad’s designs and they are still being used worldwide today. We would like to wish Terex Finlay every success in the future and congratulate them on this special anniversary.

Terex|Finlay will be reinforcing their anniversary theme of ’60 Years of Passion & Innovation’ with significant new model introductions and previews at Hillhead 2018.
The full machine line up for the show is confirmed as:
Crushing range;
• NEW J-960, J-1160 and J-1170 jaw crushers.
• NEW I-120RS impact crushers. The NEW I-120 impact crusher is also being previewed in the working demonstration area in advance of its launch in Q3, 2018.
• C-1540 (direct drive) cone crusher
Screening range;
• 674 inclined screen
• 883+ heavy duty screen
• NEW 883+ triple shaft heavy duty screen
Conveying range
• TC-65 & TC-80 tracked conveyors
• NEW TC-100 tracked conveyor
• NEW TF-75HL tracked feeder

The NEW 883+ triple shaft heavy duty screener is sure to be a head turner and one of the show star attractions. This latest addition to the Finlay 8-Series line up of heavy duty screens the 883+ triple shaft is being demonstrated in the working demonstration area and has been developed specifically to work in a variety of dry and difficult sticky applications including quarry, mining, sand and gravel, construction and demolition debris and recycling applications.
The heart of this new model is the new triple shaft screenbox, featuring two “true” full size 16’ x 5’ screening decks. The triple-shaft design of this new screenbox employs an oval motion stroke to generate an aggressive screening action, reducing plugging and blinding over the screen decks to ultimately provide a quality product with high tonnage output.
The aggressive screening action of the machine with the larger throw on the screenbox makes it ideal for fine screening a diverse range of materials. Even when under heavy load during the testing phase the screenbox has consistently produced high tonnages across a range of difficult and challenging applications.
We have retained some of the in-built features of our current 883+ screener, including the ability to hydraulically raise the discharge end 500mm to facilitate easy and efficient media changing.
We are introducing three new design features in this plant; firstly we have increased the width of the fines conveyor to 900mm wide. Secondly, we have increased the hydraulic power to the fines conveyor and thirdly we have set the engine to run at a lower speed. Each of these features have been incorporated to maximize the overall operational efficiency of the plant.
We are pleased to confirm that these updates will be carried across into our standard 883+ platform and will be a feature on plants configured with either our standard screenbox or Spaleck screenbox option.
Key features of the 883+ triple shaft:
• Higher G-force and larger stroke of the triple shaft screenbox provides the optimal solution for high productivity in dry and sticky applications.
• Multiple media configurations including bofor bars, finger screens, woven mesh and punch plates are available for a wide range of applications, from fine screening to heavy scalping.
• All media configurations are compatible with both the standard and triple shaft screenboxes.
• The banana profile of the bottom deck maximizes the screening of fine materials.
