Finlay expanded its horizontal impact crusher range with the launch of the I‑130 and I‑130RS.
Positioned between the I‑120/I‑120RS and the larger I‑140/I‑140RS, Finlay says the new models address demand for a machine that delivers strong impact performance while being easier to transport and configure across a range of applications.
The I‑130 models were developed for quarrying, recycling, asphalt and demolition operations. A 42-in. x 49-in. four‑bar rotor with twin hydraulic aprons is at the core of the models. A direct‑drive system with soft‑start provides 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 of an independent pre‑screen to remove fines ahead of the chamber, reducing wear and improving overall efficiency. Beneath the chamber, an optional underpan feeder provides additional belt protection, managing rebar and directing material safely onto the main product conveyor when used in conjunction with the optional overband magnet.
Designed for operators who do not require onboard screening and recirculation, Finlay says the I‑130 offers straightforward operation, with an emphasis on high-output crushing across multiple operations.
For operations requiring closed‑loop crushing and onboard screening, the I‑130RS integrates a high‑capacity two‑deck afterscreen and recirculation system within the same mid-range platform.
The two‑deck afterscreen is the biggest in its class, Finlay says, providing high screen capacity and configuration flexibility. Both decks can be recirculated for closed‑loop applications, or operators can divert bottom‑deck oversized material to produce a mid‑grade product, increasing output flexibility without the need for a separate screener.
The 20-in. recirculation conveyor slews up to 90 degrees, allowing material to be efficiently 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.
The I‑130RS also features a modular design. The entire RS section can be quickly detached to reduce transport weight when screening is not required. Alternatively, the RS conveyor can remain in place while only the afterscreen is removed, providing another option to meet specific job requirements.
According to Finlay, both models offer easy access to service areas, with 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.
“Building on the market success of the I‑120 and I‑120RS, the I‑130 and I‑130RS were developed to meet demand for a more transport‑friendly impact crusher with increased configuration flexibility,” says Matt Dickson, business line director at Finlay. “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.”
