DOUBLE SCREEN ACTION

FOR STEEL WORKS

A busy steel works’ contractor has invested in a pair of high-performance screeners, after they exceeded
all expectations while on hire. Harsco Metals and Minerals initially rented two Terex Finlay 693+ Supertrak
machines to tackle a difficult clay-like product at its site in Scunthorpe, but the company was so impressed
by the performance of the plant that it has now turned the short-term deal into a permanent one.
Stephen East, Operations Manager at Harsco Metals and Minerals, says the machines – supplied by Finlay
Plant Northern – are processing material that other plant has struggled with in the past.
“ The Terex Finlay 693+ Supertraks performed so well on site during the hire period that the

decision to bring them in permanently was quite easy in the end. Both units are dealing with
very difficult and hard-wearing material - something that our other machines couldn’t do easily.
The products we’re getting from the process are ideal for what our customers need. ”

One of the machines screens a difficult clay-like material with an approximate throughput of 2,000 tonnes “ We keep going back to Finlay
