In the demo area, Terex MP featured the new Powerscreen® 1300X Maxtrak Cone Crusher, EvoQuip® Bison 220R Jaw Crusher, Finlay® Electric I-120RS Impact Crusher, Finlay Electric 883+ Scalping Screen – both of which were powered by the new Finlay TG500 Tracked Generator.
On the stands, Terex launched new products including the Terex® Washing Systems STREAM software, Terex® MPS WG220E Portable Cone Crusher, and the Finlay C-1550+ Hybrid prototype. Other existing products featured on the stands included the Powerscreen Titan 600, Powerscreen Warrior 1400XE (hybrid), Finlay J-1170+, EvoQuip Caiman Shredder, MDS® M412 Recycling Trommel and a range of equipment from Terex Washing Systems’ Feeder to Filterpress Solutions.
Strength of the Terex MP portfolio
The collection of Aggregates brands that sits within the Terex MP segment continues to grow from strength to strength, reinforced by Terex central sourcing platforms, advanced digital development tools, cross-portfolio technologies, and extensive engineering and manufacturing resources globally. The recent launch of MAGNA, a brand designed to meet the demands of customers requiring larger volume processing, demonstrates Terex MP’s strong track record of establishing and nurturing businesses by leveraging its industry-leading technology, networks, and manufacturing expertise.
Driving towards a sustainable future
In line with the construction industry’s requirement for a greener tomorrow, Terex MP has focused on supporting customers in reducing carbon emissions in their crushing and screening operations.
Electrification, designed to provide customers with alternative energy options, has been a significant focus. David Trimble, Group Engineering Director, Terex Materials Processing said, “Currently, almost 90% of our models are available with alternative power, and we continue to launch new machines to bridge that gap. This is evidenced here at Hillhead with the new Finlay Electric I-120RS Impact Crusher and Finlay Electric 883+ Scalping Screen – both powered by the new Finlay TG500 Tracked Generator.”
Recognising that there is no one-size-fits-all solution, electrification is just one part of Terex MP’s comprehensive alternative power strategy, which aims to develop flexible options that adapt to the customer's preferred energy source. A pioneering £ 8.1 million project with CATAGEN – a catalyst testing expert developing new technologies in green hydrogen and e-fuels – will deliver a decarbonised end-to-end demonstration of a Powerscreen Premiertrak 450E crusher and Chieftain 1700XE screener, powered by green hydrogen and e-diesel at a working quarry site in Northern Ireland in 2024. This project will showcase a solution for the decarbonisation of Terex MP crushing and screening equipment through driveline efficiency improvements and the displacement of fossil diesel with e-diesel and green hydrogen.
“Our presence at Hillhead celebrates our rich heritage, strong brands, and comprehensive portfolio,” concludes Pat Brian. “Thank you to our distributors, customers, and other industry partners who interacted with the team at Hillhead. The positive response to our new product offerings and ongoing efforts to support customers in this alternative fuel era marks a significant step towards sustainable success for generations to come.”
