Selmers has in her program quick clamp-on joint blasters that enclose the bare joint area and that can quickly blast-clean the joint surface, either by turbine blasting or by air blasting. These machines include blast grit recovery. The heating equipment, required after blasting for some coatings, can be provided as well.

The coating machines are also available as quick clamp-on devices and can be supplied either for the application of liquid coatings, for powder epoxies, powder adhesive and for spray top coats or extruded top coats.
