Finlay® is marking a key milestone in its product roadmap with the first production build of our new hybrid J-1280 jaw crusher rolling off the Omagh production line, with further orders in the pipeline from across the globe. 

This exciting new model is expected to be a big hit with companies that are looking to make a positive contribution to the environment. Operationally the machine gives flexibility to power the plant either by the on-board genset powerpack configuration or be connected to an external power source.

The plant’s electrically driven power systems provide significant cost savings and will be advantageous to those who are operating on job sites where emissions and noise levels, such as inner-city areas and working inside buildings are issues.

In addition, the machine is fitted with a high-powered alternator that generates sufficient energy that can be used to power downstream screening plants or stockpile conveyors further improving overall fuel consumption and efficiencies of production trains.

Neil McIlwaine, Business Development and Marketing Director said: "We are delighted that the J-1280 hybrid jaw crusher has now entered full production. This is an important machine for our business, and we are delighted that its new owner Mr. Vladimír Dostál, and our dealer, Mr. Tomáš Novák travelled from the Czech Republic to see the machine in the final stages of production build. The machine dispatches the factory in the coming days and will be commissioned on Mr. Dostál site in the Czech Republic by our factory service personnel.”
