Can you finance a blow moulding machine?

Yes. Blow moulders fund as hard assets on hire purchase and the machine carries the security. Used equipment is fundable, and because these machines are built for continuous running, a properly serviced unit stays viable for a long time. The point that catches buyers out is that a blow moulder is rarely bought alone: the blow moulds, the compressor package, chillers, leak testers and conveying all arrive with it. Moulds are soft costs and frequently belong to the customer, while the air and cooling plant are separate assets that can usually be included.

Used kit: Yes — used blow moulding machines fund well and units twelve to eighteen years old are considered where running hours, service records and title are clear.

What would a blow moulding machine cost per month?

Business asset finance is quoted on a flat rate, so that is what this shows — with the equivalent APR underneath, because the two are not the same number. A quick guide only; your actual rate depends on the asset, term, deposit and lender.

Representative example: on Hire Purchase, borrowing £25,000 over 48 months at a 6.0% flat rate (equivalent to 11.5% APR representative), you would repay around £646 a month; total amount repayable approximately £31,000, of which £6,000 is the cost of finance. This calculator is for illustration only — it is not a quote or an offer of finance, and the rate and repayments you are offered will depend on the asset, term, deposit and your circumstances.

How lenders treat it

Underwriters like the asset and worry about the ecosystem. The machine is hard security with an international market, particularly for the mainstream PET and extrusion blow brands. Moulds are soft, low in independent value and often customer owned, so they belong outside the agreement. High pressure compressors, dryers, chillers and cooling towers are genuine assets with good resale and are normally included, though anything ducted or plumbed into the building can slip towards being a fixture and prompt a landlord waiver. Terms are set against realistic working life rather than headline age. Declines usually involve a single customer contract carrying the whole case, or an imported machine with no service cover in the UK.

Who buys one

Usually a packaging producer taking on a container programme that the existing machines cannot run, often driven by a brand owner wanting UK supply instead of imported bottles. Also processors adding stretch blow capacity to make their own PET rather than buy preforms blown elsewhere, and technical moulders adding extrusion blow for ducting and tanks.

How it is treated for tax

Bought on hire purchase, business plant and machinery normally qualifies for capital allowances on the full cost even though you pay for it monthly, which is a large part of why hire purchase is the common structure. On a finance lease you generally set the rentals against profit instead. The rules change between budgets and your position depends on how you trade, so treat this as the direction of travel and get your accountant to confirm the detail before you commit.

Blow moulding machine finance questions

Are blow moulds fundable?

Generally not. They are made for one container shape, have little value to any other user and are commonly owned by the brand owner rather than the processor. That combination puts them firmly in the soft cost category. Keep them off the machine quotation so the finance case reads cleanly.

Can the compressor package be included?

Usually yes. A high pressure compressor, dryer and receiver are substantial machines with their own identity and a good second-hand market, so funders are comfortable with them. If pipework and ducting are being built into the fabric of the building, those elements are excluded as installation.

What does a funder need on a used machine?

Serial number, year of build, running hours, service history and written confirmation the seller owns it free of any charge. On larger deals an inspection may be commissioned. Buying through a recognised dealer rather than privately removes most of the friction.

Can downstream equipment go on the same agreement?

Yes. Leak testers, air conveyors, bottle handling and palletising equipment are individual assets and can be written alongside the moulder. Having them on one supplier quotation is simplest, though several invoices to the same funder is workable too.

How is a long build slot on a new machine handled?

It has to be agreed before you place the order. Manufacturers want a deposit at order and further payments before shipping, while asset finance normally funds on delivery. Some funders will make progress payments against certified stages. Establish which route applies before you sign the supply contract.
