Pneumatic Scale Angelus

What Pneumatic Scale Angelus does

Pneumatic Scale Angelus is a packaging machinery brand operated under BW Packaging, a division of the privately-held Barry-Wehmiller Companies conglomerate. Founded in 1895 and headquartered in Stow, USA, the company manufactures packaging equipment for wet, dry filling, and centrifugation applications, with a primary focus on integrated canning lines for craft brewers. The product lineup centers on the CB50F, CB100F, CB50C, and CBR Family craft beverage canning systems, complemented by Angelus and Hema can seaming machinery and an extended sub-brand portfolio covering rigid filling, cartoning, palletizing, labeling, and flexible packaging equipment.

The company's technology is built around precision filling and can seaming solutions engineered to reduce dissolved oxygen, improve fill accuracy, and ensure seam integrity for beverage packaging. Equipment supports fast, intuitive changeovers enabling multiple SKUs, can sizes, and carbonation levels on a single production line, addressing the operational flexibility requirements of craft beverage producers. Hygienic sanitary design underpins the equipment specification, intended to protect product quality and brand integrity across food, beverage, dairy, and consumer products applications.

Pneumatic Scale Angelus operates through BW Packaging's direct enterprise sales channel with a global footprint spanning the USA, UK, Germany, France, Italy, the Netherlands, and Spain. Revenue is generated through three streams: capital equipment sales (canning lines and filling/seaming machines), aftermarket parts and service (including the Seamer University training program), and pre-owned or remanufactured equipment. The company employs 501-1000 people across a horizontal segmentation approach covering craft brewers as the primary segment, plus broader beverage, food, dairy, agricultural, household/personal care, and pet food customers.
