Robust, validatable carrier systems for dental implants and instruments - well thought out down to the last detail
In the manufacturing of dental implants and instruments, absolute precision, a high variety of versions, and a smooth process flow between milling, cleaning, testing, and packaging are essential. At the same time, all processes must remain economically viable and audit-compliant – even with smaller batch sizes or frequently changing component types.
ZELL Part carriers combine these requirements with a modular system design:
A durable stainless steel base is combined with replaceable PA6-GF30 retaining clips that are precisely matched to the respective component geometry. This creates a standard that flexibly adapts to new requirements – without high conversion or development costs.
Advantages in the dental sector: functional, robust, validatable
🛡️ Contour-accurate fixation – even with complex geometries
The smallest dental components - whether abutments, screws or surgical instruments - are positively and stress-free accommodated. This ensures that every position remains defined, even during transport, cleaning or machining. Deformations, micro-scratches or mix-ups are reliably prevented.
🧼 Cleanable & sterilizable according to ISO standard
Thanks to their sophisticated design, the systems can be easily integrated into aqueous, alcoholic, or ultrasound-assisted cleaning processes. The stainless steel and PA6-GF30 clips used are chemical-resistant, durable, and validatable – ideal for ISO 13485-compliant environments.
♻️ Reusable & economical
The modular design reduces costs and storage effort: When changing variants, only the clip geometry needs to be adjusted – the stainless steel base remains in circulation. This minimizes investments and reduces setup times, even with a high variety of components or smaller batches.
🤖 Automatable & process-integrable
The exact positioning of each component enables direct connection to robot cells, test stations, CNC machines or packaging lines - without repacking or additional carrier systems. Engravings, DMC codes or RFID tags are optionally available to seamlessly integrate traceability and quality management.
