Yes, pasteurisers 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 £10,000 to £100,000, and most deals are written over 36–84 months with a deposit of around 15–25%. Decisions typically take 3–7 working days. 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 EligibilityThis equipment qualifies as plant and machinery for Annual Investment Allowance (AIA) and full expensing, so the cost can be deducted from taxable profits in the year of purchase for a hire purchase agreement. Finance and operating leases are generally treated as an operating expense, with the payments deducted from profits as they fall due rather than claimed as a capital allowance.
Pasteurisers are bought by dairies, breweries, juice producers and other liquid food and drink manufacturers, typically at new production line installation or when scaling from batch to continuous processing. They are financed because a compliant pasteuriser with the correct holding time, flow diversion and recording instrumentation is a significant capital item, and for most producers pasteurisation is a regulatory requirement rather than a discretionary upgrade. A batch pasteuriser is a genuinely standalone asset that holds reasonable value used, while a continuous HTST plate system is more often installed as one stage within a wider processing line and is harder to resell independently of that line.
