Spread the cost of a slurry separator from £15,000 to £120,000 with flexible finance options. HP, lease, or refinance
Yes, slurry 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 £15,000 to £120,000, and most deals are written over 24–84 months with a deposit of around 10–20%. Decisions typically take 3–5 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.

Slurry separators are freestanding plant and generally qualify for the Annual Investment Allowance (AIA), letting a farmer deduct the full cost from taxable profits in the year of purchase, up to £1,000,000, subject to the normal AIA rules. HP gives access to capital allowances directly; lease payments are normally deductible from farming profits. Where a separator is installed as part of a new slurry store or handling building, some elements of the installation may be treated as part of the building rather than as plant, an accountant should confirm the correct treatment before purchase.
Slurry separators are bought by dairy, beef and pig producers looking to manage slurry storage capacity and to produce a drier solid fraction that is easier and cheaper to spread or transport than raw slurry. Investment is often driven by storage capacity pressure, particularly where a farm's existing slurry store is close to its practical limit, rather than by a fixed replacement age for the separator itself. Because slurry handling rules affect how much storage a farm is required to hold, a separator is frequently financed alongside wider slurry infrastructure such as covered storage or an automatic scraper system rather than bought as a standalone item. Replacement is generally driven by throughput requirements and wear on the screw or centrifuge mechanism rather than a fixed age, and farm income is seasonal, so finance for this equipment is commonly timed around the housed period or linked to milk and livestock sales.
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.
