Angelus

Angelus Can Seaming Machines

BW Filling & Closing's ANGELUS brand is recognized as a global leader in can seaming technology, providing high-performance machines that set the standard for seam integrity in the Food and Beverage industries. More than a century ago, Angelus pioneered the use of the double seam, a hermetic seal formed by mechanically interlocking three layers of metal from the can end with two layers from the can body. This innovation transformed the canning industry by creating an airtight seal that ensured the preservation of the contents within the can and its safety for human consumption, as well as extending shelf stability. The development was so revolutionary, it became the inspiration for the Angelus logo still seen on our products today. Today's modern Angelus continues this legacy of innovation, serving nearly every industry, in applications as varied as canned vegetables to meats, craft beverage to high-speed soft drinks, and oil filters to caulk tubes. Known for hygienic design, fast and reliable changeover, and superior lightweight can handling, and backed by world-class service and support, Angelus is the brand you can trust.

ANGELUS: A History of Innovation

Angelus Sanitary Can Machine Company was founded in Los Angeles, California in 1910 by inventor Henry L. Guenther, Guenther designed and patented machinery for producing double seams on cans.

In 2007, Pneumatic Scale Corporation acquired Angelus, becoming Pneumatic Scale Angelus, a proud member of the Barry-Wehmiller family, of companies. Since then, PSA has become a major global supplier of can closing and seaming machines and has recently joined forces with Synerlink to become BW Filling & Closing.

We continue to be a recognized leader in the design, production and maintenance of high-speed equipment, and our machines are used across a broad range of industries around the globe.

Innovation may have started with the precise, repeatable double seam found in every ANGELUS Legacy machine, but it doesn't end there. The ANGELUS V-Series carries forward this same dedication to consistent performance, even in the most demanding applications and under continuous operation, but also brings forth the latest advancements in hygiene, manufacturing flexibility, and lightweight can handling that today's applications demand.
