Overview

Pneumatic Scale Angelus (often shortened to PSA) is a packaging-machinery brand within BW Packaging, the packaging equipment business of the privately held American industrial group Barry-Wehmiller. The brand combines two long-standing names in filling and closing technology — Pneumatic Scale and Angelus — and is positioned as a trusted leader in filling and seaming technology, particularly for beverage producers. PSA's core competence is the filling and closing of containers: flexible filling and closing, rigid filling and closing, and can seaming. Its best-known current focus is integrated canning lines for craft brewers. According to the brand's own product literature, these lines are designed for lower- to mid-speed operations, frequent changeovers, and evolving product portfolios, helping craft brewers maintain quality, consistency, and flexibility as their businesses grow. The systems are engineered to protect beer quality through proven seam integrity, hygienic design, and advanced filling technologies that reduce dissolved oxygen, improve fill accuracy, and minimize product loss. Fast and intuitive changeover capabilities allow brewers to run multiple SKUs, can sizes, and carbonation levels on the same line. Named equipment in the craft canning range includes the CB50F, CB100F, CB50C, and the CBR family, marketed under the combined "Pneumatic Scale | Angelus" identity. Beyond craft beverage canning, the brand's equipment categories include can seaming, can end and lid handling, and filling and closing systems that can be integrated into larger packaging lines. As part of BW Packaging, PSA equipment is backed by global engineering expertise, integrated line capabilities, and lifetime service and aftermarket support. BW Packaging describes itself as Barry-Wehmiller's global team of packaging professionals, offering flexible systems, rigid systems, labeling, end-of-line solutions, and complete packaging line integration. BW Packaging represents a portfolio of machinery brands — including Ambec, Angelus, Arcil, Burt, Continental, Dairy Pack, Fleetwood, Goldco, and others — that together cover filling, closing, labeling, and end-of-line packaging. PSA serves customers across North and South America, Asia-Pacific, Australia, and Europe, the Middle East, and Africa.
