Spread the cost of a dryer hopper from £2,500 to £45,000+ with flexible finance options. HP, lease, or refinance
Yes, dryer hoppers 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 £2,500 to £45,000, and most deals are written over 12–60 months with a deposit of around 0–15%. 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.

This equipment qualifies for the Annual Investment Allowance, so a purchase or HP agreement can be deducted against taxable profit in the year of purchase. Finance lease payments are typically deductible in full from profit as they are paid, and refinancing an owned asset does not change its capital allowances position.
Dryer hoppers are bought by moulders and extruders processing hygroscopic materials such as nylon, PET or ABS, which absorb moisture from the air and will produce poor quality parts, splay marks or brittle mouldings if run wet. A single-station dryer is typically bought alongside one press as a standard part of a new machine order, while a central drying system, feeding several presses from one desiccant unit, is more often a separate decision taken as a factory grows and wants consistent drying without a dryer at every machine. Replacement is usually driven by a move to central drying for efficiency, or a change in the resin range being processed requiring a different drying temperature or dewpoint capability, rather than the dryer wearing out.
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.
