Hands off the pipe!
The ultimate automated roping equipment FBE coatings have stringent rules and regulations to protect them. Any dent, scratch, gouge, or groove can cause a safety hazard. Therefore, a secure approach is needed to eliminate any chance of damage. Rejection of a pipe severely impacts plant operations. On top of that, handling pipes manually is […]
Luck runs out but safety is good for life
Luck runs out but safety is good for life When we speak about safety in heavy industries like ours, it is evident that potential hazards are just too significant to take lightly. Once a heavy pipe starts rolling or swinging, there isn’t much you can do to stop it. There’s a minimal window to intervene, […]
Robots are taking over the (pipe) world
Robots are taking over the (pipe) world When robots were first portrayed in movies such as War of the Worlds and Star Wars, they evoked a primal fear that someday machines and robots would take over the world. However, now that robots are actually here, it appears that we fear not being overpowered, but rather […]
Solving a bouncing problem with determination and grit
Solving a bouncing problem with determination and grit New paint requires a clean surface. The bigger the surface, the better the adhesion of the applied coating. For this purpose, blasting abrasion of pipes is done with grit. The grit is applied with force, and therefore naturally produces some excess grit. One of our clients […]
Longer lifespan, less downtime because of ‘magic touch’
‘Magic touch’ for longer lifespan and less downtime Decades of experience is not something that can be acquired by training, or that can be replaced by equipment. It’s like a person recognising a type of car just by hearing its engine. Or a baker no longer needing his recipes when adding ingredients. Our technical inspectors […]
Offshore ‘Predator’ has eyes on other industries
Offshore ‘Predator’ has eyes on other industries Ever seen a robot on a seagoing vessel? Robots are made of steel which is in essence not best friends with salt and water. Harsh conditions are one of the few certainties at sea. Therefore, most manufacturers of robots take a restraint approach to creating automated solutions for […]
What about the Industry4 people:
Ir. Operator? MSc Technician?
Some interesting trends were spotted at TechniShow by our man Jan Peter Biersteker. The next step towards smart industry was the theme of the show and as its name suggest it was all about the technology. So, for us an amazing visit! But the trends give food for thought as well.. Production process: does it […]
Is your industrial safety really up-to-par?
Whether it’s a robot, object handling equipment or an entire coating line; every piece of equipment that leaves our factory complies with the highest quality standards. At the same time, we put a lot of effort into the safety of our equipment. Conversely, we do not have the full guarantee that customers always work as […]
How to create ‘new gold’ from operating nearshore spoolbases
Selmers has been taking care of the development, engineering, manufacturing, installation and optimization of spoolbases for the handling of pipes for many years. This has already resulted in many optimisations and customer-specific solutions. We have translated a large part of these improvements and pieces of custom work into standard modular spoolbase equipment and process lines. […]
Pipe Coating Systems (General)
Selmers manufactures pipe coating solutions for various types of coatings, mainly for anti-corrosion, mechanical protection, insulation, flow efficiency and weight increasing purposes. As with individual blasting machines, pipe coating plants are also available for numerous setups: for internal and external applications, small and large diameters, low and high capacities and continuous or one-shift operation.
