Yes, die casting machines 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 £50,000 to £800,000, and most deals are written over 12–84 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.

Check EligibilityDie casting machines qualify for Annual Investment Allowance (AIA), letting you deduct the full cost from taxable profits in the year of purchase, up to £1,000,000 for qualifying plant and machinery. HP agreements let you claim capital allowances on the asset; lease payments are generally deducted as an operating expense.
Die casting machines are bought by pressure die casting foundries, most commonly casting aluminium or zinc components at volume for the automotive, electrical and consumer goods sectors. Furnaces and heat treatment plant are heavy, need a significant electrical supply, and often require planning or environmental permitting for emissions before the site can operate the equipment. Installation and commissioning, including the electrical infeed, foundations and any flue or abatement work, is frequently a large share of the total project cost, and is not always financeable on the same agreement as the equipment itself. A die casting machine's own electrical and hydraulic power demand is significant even before accounting for the associated melting and holding furnace, die cooling water system and material handling that surround it in a working cell. Buyers finance a die casting machine because it's typically the largest single capital item in the foundry and is bought against a specific customer programme or a general capacity increase, with the finance term set to match the expected production run or the depreciation profile the business is planning around. Replacement is usually driven by needing more clamping force for a larger part, or better shot control and automation for repeatability, rather than the machine failing outright, since the frame, platens and hydraulic system are heavy-duty and see decades of service with routine maintenance.
