Breedon finds the missing link
Breedon Northern has invested in the largest Terex Finlay tracked conveyor currently available from Finlay Scotland. The TC-100 is being used as a link conveyor in a static aggregates production plant and is already delivering big savings.
Deep in the heart of Breedon Northern’s Daviot Quarry, which is located just seven miles south of Inverness, this 100ft conveyor has fast become a vital part of the production process. Providing a link between two static sections of the plant, the TC-100 has slotted in perfectly, doing a job that was previously completed by a loading shovel.
tracked unit up to the TC-100. Capable of handling 600 metric tonnes per hour (mtph), the TC-100 has the capacity to prove a useful addition to any aggregate production facility. Capable of being used as a link conveyor, as in this application at Daviot, or as a stockpiling conveyor, the potential efficiency benefits are significant whatever the application.
  A perfect fit for the job
This section of the production process starts with an Allis Chalmers 11-36 secondary cone crusher, from which the material flows into a Terex Finlay 883+ heavy duty screener. The mid-size fraction is then fed onto the TC-100 conveyor, with oversize material recirculated thorough the 11-36. At the end of the 30m conveyor, which is fitted with a chevron belt, the material is dropped into a feed hopper and then into a static Metso G158 cone crusher before being separated into saleable products by two Terex Finlay 694+ inclined screeners.
The TC-100 is the largest conveyor manufactured at Terex Finlay’s Omagh facility in Co. Tyrone, Northern Ireland. The comprehensive Terex range of conveyors goes from a 65ft
