Refurbishment and Warranty
How every machine is checked and prepared before it leaves Derby.
Are used machines checked or refurbished before sale?
Every machine that arrives at our refurbishing centre is checked in our own facilities. Since 2018 we have operated an in-house workshop that carries out refurbishment and changeovers on butter packing, filling, pasteurising, separating and homogenising equipment.
Do your machines come with a warranty?
Yes. We give a warranty on each machine that leaves the Dairy Machinery UK premises. Please ask our team for the warranty details that apply to the specific machine you are considering.
Can you convert a machine to suit a different format?
Our workshop carries out changeovers on butter packing, filling, pasteurising, separating and homogenising machines. Tell us about your product and pack format, and our engineers will advise on what is possible.
Shipping and Inspection
Getting your machine safely from our facilities to your plant.
Do you ship machinery outside the United Kingdom?
Yes. We buy and sell machinery across the world. Each machine is crated to your specifications, and we hold accounts with major parcel and courier companies. We choose the shipping method based on size, weight, value and destination to give you good value, safe handling and prompt delivery.
Can you dismantle and install equipment for an overseas project?
Yes. For equipment that is moving abroad, we offer dismantling, packing, transport and installation services. Our team has completed projects in many countries. You can see examples on our Projects and Videos page.
I cannot travel to the UK, so can you inspect a machine for me?
Yes. Our quality check service sends experienced dairy machinery engineers to inspect UK machines on your behalf. We only need the machine details and its location, and we keep you updated at every stage with photos, findings and recommendations.
We can also store purchased machinery until it is ready to ship from the UK. Please note that inspection opinions are given in good faith, reflect the condition on the day of inspection and are not a guarantee or warranty.
