BOTTLING & FILLING LINES
Bottling equipment and filling machine financing
A bottling line is bought as a line, and it should be financed as one. We finance filling machines, cappers, labelers, rinsers, canning lines and conveyors when the order comes to $10,000 or more, new, used or rebuilt, from one integrator or several suppliers, with installation and commissioning on the same agreement.
One filler, or a whole line?
Transactions start at $10,000, and tabletop fillers and hand cappers usually cost less than that. A single small unit does not qualify on its own.
A line or a bundle does. A small filler with a capper, a labeler and conveyors qualifies when the total comes to $10,000 or more, and so does a small unit added to a larger packaging equipment order.

Why lease it
01
Finance the line, not the machines
A filler from one supplier and a labeler from another still make one line. Writing them on one agreement means one payment and one end date instead of a stack of separate notes.
02
Installation and commissioning included
Rigging, electrical, air, conveyor tie-in and the integrator's commissioning time are real costs. They can be financed with the equipment rather than coming out of working capital.
03
Rebuilt lines finance too
Rebuilt fillers and used labelers are a large part of this market. They finance the same way as new equipment, including machines from used dealers and plant liquidations.
Filling machine financing by type
Rotary fillers
Rotary fillers fill containers on the move around a carousel and suit higher speed lines. The filler is often the most expensive single machine on a line, and its speed sets the speed of everything after it.
Inline fillers
Inline fillers index a row of containers under the fill heads. Gravity, overflow, piston and servo versions suit shorter runs, frequent changeovers and products from water to sauce.
Cappers
Chuck, spindle, ROPP and corking machines, inline or built into a monoblock with the filler. A hand capper goes in a bundle.
Labelers
Pressure sensitive, roll-fed and shrink sleeve labelers, with the coders and vision inspection that follow them.
Rinsers
Air and water rinsers, on their own in a line or as part of a rinser-filler-capper monoblock.
Canning lines
Can fillers, seamers and depalletizers for brewers and beverage producers. See brewery equipment financing.
Conveyors
Conveyors, accumulation tables and the tie-in work that joins each machine to the next, on the same agreement as the machines.
End of line
Case packers, shrink bundlers and palletizers. See packaging equipment financing and stretch wrap machine financing.
What sets the payment on a bottling line
Four things decide the monthly number. To see a range before you talk to anyone, use the equipment lease calculator.
The whole installed cost
The machines plus freight, rigging, change parts, electrical, air and the integrator's commissioning. Including the soft costs makes the amount larger but keeps that cash in the business.
The term
Terms run from 24 to 60 months. A longer term lowers the payment. A shorter term costs more each month and less in total.
The end-of-term option
A fair market value lease has a lower payment and lets you return or upgrade. A $1 buyout lease or an equipment finance agreement costs more each month, and you own the equipment at the end.
The business applying
Time in business, credit history and the size of the transaction. Up to $150,000 is usually decided on a one-page application without financial statements.

Bottling and filling machine financing questions
Can I finance a filling machine?
Yes, when the order comes to $10,000 or more. Rotary and inline fillers for beverages, sauces and other liquids can be financed new or used, from any manufacturer or dealer. A filler bought together with the capper, labeler and conveyors goes on one agreement, so one payment covers the line.
Can I finance a tabletop filler or hand capper?
Not on its own. Tabletop fillers and hand cappers usually cost under $10,000, and transactions start at $10,000. A line or bundle that totals $10,000 or more does qualify, such as a small filler with a capper, labeler and conveyor.
Can a whole bottling line be financed on one lease?
Yes, and that is the usual way it is done. The filler, capper, labeler, conveyors, case packer and palletizer can go on one lease even when they come from several suppliers, so the line is one payment.
Do you offer beverage equipment loans?
Yes, in the form of an equipment finance agreement, which works like a loan: fixed payments over the term, and the equipment is yours. A $1 buyout lease ends the same way. Transactions start at $10,000. Your accountant should confirm the tax treatment.
Do you finance used or rebuilt bottling equipment?
Yes. Used and factory-rebuilt fillers, labelers and seamers finance the same way as new, including machines bought from used equipment dealers and at plant liquidations.
Can installation and rigging be included in the financing?
Yes. Rigging, electrical, air, conveyor tie-in and the integrator's commissioning hours can be written into the same agreement as the machines, which matters on a line where the install is a large share of the cost.
Is there financing for a small craft bottling or canning line?
Yes, when the line comes to $10,000 or more. Small monoblock and inline systems for craft beverage, spirits, sauce and cosmetics producers are financed as a line, and startups are considered on personal credit and experience.
How much does it cost to finance bottling equipment?
The payment depends on the total cost of the line and its installation, the term of 24 to 60 months, the end-of-term option and the business applying. Send the supplier's quote through the form on this page and we return payments for each term, usually the same business day.
Know what you need?
An application takes a few minutes and most decisions come back the same day. If you would rather see a payment first, the calculator gives you a range without asking for anything.
