Finlay’s J-1280 jaw crusher features a wide gape and robust throughput capabilities while weighing less than its J-1480 model.
The new 75,940-kg J-1280 boats a 1,200 mm x 820 mm jaw chamber for hard rock applications. Despite its size, the machine is engineered for easier transport.
With a transport width of 17.1 metres long by 3 metres, the jaw crusher is an ideal solution for medium-sized quarries and larger contractors seeking high capacity without the logistical challenges associated with heavier equipment.
“This balance of size and mobility has been a direct response to strong feedback from the Finlay distribution network, who emphasized the need for a lighter, more transportable model yet with the same jaw dimensions of our highest-selling units in several key regions,” said Martin Conway, Global Sales & Marketing Director for Finlay.
The J-1280 jaw crusher is equipped with a hydrostatic drive system. Unlike direct drive alternatives, the hydrostatic setup allows the crusher to continuously operate in reverse. The reverse function is critical for clearing blockages quickly and safely, without the need to manually lift material from the chamber.
The ability to clear blockages improves safety by reducing the need for working at height and minimizes downtime by eliminating the need for lock-out/tag-out procedures during unblocking.
The J-1280 is available in three feed-in configurations, including:
- A standard vibrating grizzly feeder (VGF)
- A pre-screen option
- Extended pan feeder with pre-screen
This flexibility allows operators to tailor the machine to their specific application needs, whether prioritizing throughput, fines removal or feed consistency.
“This latest addition to the jaw crusher lineup reflects our commitment to engineering excellence, customer feedback and operational efficiency,” Conway said.
“With a focus on safety, transport efficiency and high-performance crushing, the Finlay J-1280 is a machine built not only to meet the demands of today’s quarrying and contracting environments but to exceed them.”
The J-1280 jaw crusher is equipped with T-Link telematics hardware and software along with a free seven year data subscription.
