Spread the cost of an amalgam separator from £700 to £6,000+ with flexible finance options. HP, lease, or refinance
Yes, amalgam separators are financed as a standard asset purchase, usually on hire purchase or a lease, with the machine itself acting as the security. UK prices typically run £700 to £6,000, and most deals are written over 12–36 months with a deposit of around 10–20%. Decisions typically take 24–48 hours. Used machines are financeable too, usually with a shorter term.

Guide prices for sizing a finance agreement, not quotes. Manufacturers in this market mostly price on application, so where a current UK list price could not be confirmed the row describes a specification class rather than naming a model. Your supplier quote is what the agreement is written against.

Amalgam separators qualify for Annual Investment Allowance (AIA), letting you deduct the qualifying cost from taxable profits in the year of purchase, up to the current annual limit. HP purchases attract capital allowances, and lease payments are generally fully deductible against profits.
Amalgam separators are fitted by CQC-regulated dental practices to capture mercury-containing waste from wastewater before it leaves the surgery, and installing one is typically a regulatory and environmental compliance requirement for practices still placing or removing amalgam fillings, rather than a discretionary purchase. A single-chair practice usually needs one unit per suction system, while a multi-surgery practice may need a separator at each chair or a shared unit feeding a central system. Finance is often used when a separator is added as part of a wider refurbishment or when an older unit reaches the end of its rated capacity, since separators need periodic servicing and cartridge replacement regardless of how they were purchased. There is very little used market for this equipment, since units are inexpensive relative to other dental equipment and are usually bought new.
Some specialist lenders consider businesses with imperfect credit histories. You may need a larger deposit or personal guarantee, but options may be available. Fundably may use a soft credit check for matching, which does not affect your credit score. A hard check may happen if you choose to proceed with a lender.
