The line-up was completed with the incorporation of the Terex Finlay C-1540 cone crusher. The model on display featured the new on-board side conveyor configuration that affords operators the opportunity to remove pre-screened fine material from the plant.
In the recycling demonstration area there were three models: the J-1170 jaw crusher, new I-100RS impact crusher and the new Terex Finlay 883 with Spaleck screen.
The J-1170 jaw crusher featured at the event was fitted with the hydraulic release chamber.
The prototype of the I-100RS featured at the event is one of the prototypes that are currently testing in a range of applications in Europe before its launch in Q4, 2013.
Both machines were demonstrated working in recycling demolition and concrete waste.
Accompanying the crushers in the recycling area was the 883 heavy-duty screener with Spaleck screenbox, which was launched at
The 883 Spaleck screener was demonstrated working in a demanding top soil application with a high moisture content.
Jim Jamieson has been a leading figure in the quarrying, construction, civil engineering, waste handling and recycling industries across the Grampian and Aberdeenshire regions for 40 years.
The family-orientated and operated business headquartered at Ellon, Aberdeenshire, has grown and diversified under the guidance of Jim Jamieson.
From his beginnings as an apprentice bricklayer Jamieson’s entrepreneurial spirit, vision and direct workmanlike approach naturally progressed to developing his own business, and today he leads a group of companies that continue to grow steadily employing over 60 people.
In 2000 Jim bought a landfill site outside Aberdeen and under his control it became the first double-lined landfill site in the Aberdeenshire area.
He sold this business in 2004 to focus on his construction and civil engineering businesses. This led to the acquisition of Ardlethen quarry in 2005 to service the Grampian and Aberdeenshire regions and support his construction focused-businesses.
He decided to sell the quarry in 2008 to concentrate his efforts in further developing his commercial construction business.
The Ardlethen Quarry was then repurchased during 2010 and he immediately set about the process of developing the quarry and taking it to the next level.
This was followed with the acquisition and development of additional local quarry locations in Whitecairns and more recently in Newmacher, Aberdeenshire, to produce crusher run, quarry dust, sand, gravel and various sized aggregates ranging from 0-150mm, Type 1, and railway ballast as well as tight specification aggregate products to meet client requests.
Today the company’s client base boasts some of the most prominent regional players and includes local councils.
To produce such a range of products the Jim Jamieson company exclusively operates tracked mobile crushing and screening equipment across the company’s three quarries.
Jamieson’s first experience of mobile quarrying equipment was over 25 years ago when he rented a Finlay mobile screen from Tom McNeill at Finlay Scotland.
This led to a long-lasting partnership between the two companies. Today Jamieson operates a range of Terex Finlay jaw and cone crushers as well as heavy-duty and inclined screens. To work alongside the crushing and screening equipment is a range of excavators and shovels from
The latest additions to the fleet include a J-1480 jaw crusher; a C-1550 cone crusher and a 694+ inclined screen and these are said to be key the efficient and profitable production of the company’s three quarries and also the contract crushing and screening services that the company operates throughout Scotland.
The versatility of his fleet means that Jim can also employ his crushing and screening equipment on site to support his and son James's civil engineering activities when required.
The Terex Finlay J-1480 jaw crusher incorporates the proven Terex Jaques single toggle jaw crusher which boasts a throughput capacity up to 750tonnes/hour, depending on application and material. It is available with hydrostatic drive which offers reversible operation for clearing blockages and demolition applications, or direct drive to “offer improved fuel efficiency and greater power utilisation.”
