![](https://www.selmers.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/Pijler-hydrogen-1024x427.jpg)
Having a blast – actually not coating anything Our sales department often receives enquiries about the types of pipes and tubes we blast, coat, and handle. The answer is straightforward: we provide machinery for blasting, coating, and handling of all long steel objects. But, of course, we don’t do this ourselves, as all our customers […]

Numbers – and digital twins – don’t lie… Recall your first 3D movie experience? The images felt so real, almost within your grasp, didn’t they?

We stay where others go home…
![Mechanical engineers using plant management system](https://www.selmers.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/12/engineers-plc-1024x683.jpg)
We stay where others go home… Engineers used to deliver a complete blasting and coating plant with equipment, and then depart. However, this is no longer the best solution for your operations. We’re not suggesting it’s akin to that acquaintance who overstays their welcome on your couch… But consider it a helpful digital hologram of […]
Robots are taking over the (pipe) world
![inside of a steel pipe with robot arm above it](https://www.selmers.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/07/01a_Commissioning-1024x768.jpg)
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 […]

![Selmers fully automated blasting conveyor for pipes with adjustable setting.](https://www.selmers.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/Selmers_perfect_recipe_projectfotos_2_1029_20210302_Site_bezoek_CBAIMG_4965-768x1024.jpeg)
Not sugar coating it; the best plant managers’ recipe Deviating from a standard recipe; who doesn’t? You like to tweak the dish to your particular preferences. You probably do the same with your operations’ handling equipment. But as with the perfect frosting, it is with the perfect pipe coating… Experience, good ingredients and balance […]
Solving a bouncing problem with determination and grit
![abrasive acceleration belt for internal blasting of pipes and tubes.](https://www.selmers.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/grit-foot-abrasive-grit-catcher-IMG_3504-1024x768.jpg)
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’
![Pipes inspected by working man in factory setting](https://www.selmers.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/05/Selmers-Technical-Visits.jpg)
‘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 […]

a real-life horror story

It is normal for kids to love a scary Halloween. They want to explore the boundaries of their own fears: a way to learn about them. We also like to push our process and equipment for the best results and learn from it. In Operations the focus is often on capacity(output). The adrenaline rushes through […]
