Terex Finlay Unveils the Next Generation 693 and 694 Inclined Screeners

Finlay has launched the next generation of its legendary inclined screeners the new Finlay 693 and Finlay 694.
These new machines represent the latest evolution of Finlay’s renowned screening portfolio, designed to deliver maximum performance, reliability, and versatility across quarrying, mining, recycling, sand and gravel, and construction applications.

The models mark a return to the original Finlay naming convention, replacing the former 693+ and 694+ with machines that are simpler, more efficient, and more cost-effective, while retaining the rugged performance that has defined the Finlay brand for more than six decades.

A Legacy in Screening and Crushing

Founded in 1958 in Northern Ireland, Finlay pioneered the development of mobile screening and crushing equipment, creating the foundation for what would become a global industry standard. The brand was acquired by Terex Corporation in 1999, becoming an integral part of the Terex Materials Processing division. This move accelerated its international expansion, technology development, and after-sales support network.

Today, Finlay equipment operates in over 100 countries, serving some of the world’s largest quarrying, mining, and recycling companies. As part of the Terex family, Finlay benefits from advanced manufacturing capabilities, a worldwide parts and service infrastructure, and Terex’s commitment to sustainable and digital innovation.

Inclined Screeners: The Backbone of Material Separation

Inclined screeners are the heart of aggregate processing — machines that separate material by size using vibrating screen boxes mounted at an angle. The incline allows gravity to assist in moving material across multiple decks, where screens of different mesh sizes sort aggregates, minerals, and recycled materials into precise grades.

This principle makes inclined screeners vital in applications ranging from quarrying and sand production to construction waste recycling and coal preparation. By fine-tuning vibration amplitude, frequency, and screen angle, operators can achieve optimal throughput and particle separation — ensuring consistent, high-quality output while minimizing energy use and maintenance costs.

As a result, inclined screeners are often referred to as the “workhorses” of material processing plants, combining simple physics with advanced engineering for continuous, high-volume productivity.

The Next Generation 693 and 694: Power, Precision, and Practicality

The new Finlay 693 and Finlay 694 machines have been re-engineered to deliver enhanced performance, simplified operation, and improved efficiency, all while lowering total cost of ownership.

Both models feature high-energy screen boxes capable of handling diverse materials, from heavy rock to fine topsoil. Each screener includes:

A large-capacity hopper with a variable-speed belt feeder for consistent material flow,
Options for remote tipping or a double-deck vibrating grid,
A hydraulic system optimized for power and fuel efficiency, and
A hybrid powerpack, allowing operation via onboard diesel engine or external electric supply for reduced emissions.

Operator-focused features, such as simplified folding mechanisms, extra-wide maintenance catwalks, and the inclusion of T-Link telematics with a free seven-year data subscription, demonstrate Finlay’s ongoing investment in safety, usability, and data-driven performance.

Two Distinct Models for Different Screening Needs

Finlay 693 Equipped with a two-deck screen box, featuring a 6.1m x 1.53m (20’ x 5’) top deck and a 5.55m x 1.53m (18’ x 5’) bottom deck, providing efficient screening even with smaller aggregate sizes.
Finlay 694 Featuring a triple-deck configuration, with two full-size 6.1m x 1.53m (20’ x 5’) top and middle decks and a 5.55m x 1.53m (18’ x 5’) bottom deck, expanding total screening area to 27m² (290ft²). An optional integrated high-volume rinser screen is available, greatly enhancing capability for wet applications in sand, gravel, and recycling operations.

Matt Dickson, Business Line Director for Finlay, commented:

“By revisiting the original 693 and 694 names and refining every aspect of the design, we’ve created machines that are simpler to transport, easier to maintain, and more cost-effective — without compromising power or reliability. These screeners reflect Finlay’s continued commitment to innovation and to listening closely to our global network of dealers and customers.”

Driving Forward Under the Terex Banner

As part of Terex Corporation, Finlay benefits from the group’s global engineering excellence and shared commitment to sustainability. Terex designs and manufactures materials processing equipment across multiple sectors, including construction, waste management, recycling, and energy production, and has operations in North America, Europe, and Asia Pacific.

Terex’s focus on electrification, hybrid power solutions, and intelligent telematics has been central to Finlay’s product evolution — ensuring that machines like the 693 and 694 meet the industry’s rising expectations for efficiency, environmental responsibility, and digital integration.

This alignment has helped Finlay remain at the forefront of the market, combining Terex’s global manufacturing scale with the Finlay brand’s reputation for reliability and engineering excellence.
