Cleaning basket systems from ZELL - quality that sets standards in every industry

Precision, cleanliness and process reliability are essential in industrial parts cleaning. With the cleaning baskets and workpiece carrier systems from ZELL, leading companies rely on uncompromising quality and maximum compatibility - regardless of whether your components are cleaned in modified alcohols, aqueous media or with ultrasound.

Whether for automotive, aerospace, medical technology or electronics production - our cleaning baskets support efficient, scratch-free and sustainable component cleaning that integrates seamlessly into your systems and process chains.

As a production manager or purchaser in the field of industrial component cleaning, you know that the quality of the cleaning basket is decisive for part protection, cleaning effectiveness and process stability. With the workpiece carrier systems and cleaning baskets from ZELL, you can be sure of durable, adaptable solutions - which are convincing in practice.

✔ Technical facts that count

  • Temperature and chemical resistance:
    Our PA6GB30 plastic carriers have been tested several times for cleaning media up to 70-100 °C, even in combination with modified alcohols and ultrasound.
"No visual or mechanical changes were detected after ultrasonic cleaning with solvent."
- Thomas Schwarz, Pero AG
  • Load weight and handling:
    Our systems are designed for an ergonomic load of 18-25 kg per basket. Reinforced versions available for higher loads.
  • Longevity in use:
    Companies have been using ZELL systems for over 15 years, with several cleaning cycles a day, including rotation (360°), without any relevant signs of wear.
  • Standardized dimensions:
    ZELL cleaning baskets are based on Schäfer dimensions (470 × 320 mm) and are available in various heights. Plastic systems can be flexibly adapted using spacers. ZELL also offers additional logistics dimensions with its plastic systems and can produce any surface dimensions with its stainless steel trays.
  • For bulk and set goods:
    Suitable trays, support lids, inserts for small and bulk parts, also with plastic clips for gentle fixation.
  • Safely clean the finest parts:
    Mesh widths from 1 mm for extremely delicate or rotationally symmetrical components. Clips can be manufactured individually - form-fit, scratch-free and open to media.

Compatible with leading cleaning system manufacturers

The ZELL cleaning baskets and carrier systems are fully compatible with a wide range of market-leading cleaning systems, including those from:

  • Pero AG
  • Ecoclean
  • iFP
  • Mafac
  • BvL
  • and much more.

System integration is plug-and-play - even for automated processes such as turntables, vacuum drying or robot handling.

Customer story: From doubt to long-term partnership

We recently visited a potential customer - an experienced production manager whose initial skepticism was clear to see. Between critical glances at our cleaning baskets and precise queries, it quickly became clear that only one thing counts here - reliability in daily use.

After an initial discussion and a short tour of the plant, the all-important question was finally asked:

"I want to know whether the thing will last 10 years at 70 °C, with an alkaline medium, in a rotary plate with vacuum drying - or whether I have to buy a new one every two years."

Our answer: Yes, it does.

This is exactly what our systems have already proven in practice many times over - at companies that have been working with ZELL cleaning baskets for over 15 years, with up to 10 cycles per day - even in rotating operation.

What followed was not just a handshake, but the start of a strong collaboration. Today, we implement projects together - from standardized beams to individual solutions for particularly sensitive components. Initial doubts have turned into trust - based on real results, durable products and technical reliability.

Proven in industrial use - references from the field

Leading companies such as Bosch, SFS, WIKA, Müller Präzision, NTK and Schuhmacher Präzisionsdrehteile rely on ZELL systems for their component cleaning.

"We have had a partnership with ZELL Systemtechnik GmbH since 2010. Some of the load carriers have been in use for over 8 years!"
- Julian Plötz, Purchasing, Müller Präzision GmbH
"Using the workpiece carrier systems from ZELL means an increase in quality in parts cleaning for us. The modular system makes it possible to transport our components sustainably and without scratches."
- Christopher Munz, WIKA USA
"ZELL has taken parts cleaning and intralogistics to a new level. We receive solution-oriented suggestions for inquiries - the external perspective often helps us."
- Dirk Dürre, Schuhmacher Präzisionsdrehteile GmbH
"We have been working in partnership with ZELL since 2016. The special positioning of our components in the stainless steel clips allows rotating, contact-free cleaning. Previously, this was only possible to a limited extent - now we achieve significantly better cleaning results."
- Francesco Franchi, Production Manager, NTK

🧩 Tailor-made solutions - without complexity

The ZELL cleaning basket systems are 100% modular. This means that a specially adapted clip or holder is developed for each new component, which fits into our existing modular system. This creates individual workpiece carrier systems without having to redesign the entire basket.

This is how the vote works:

  1. Data transmission:
    Customers send us - under NDA or abstracted - the component geometry as a STEP file.
  2. Online pre-configuration:
    With the ZELL online configurator, many carrier systems can be configured directly and digitally from standard components based on the STEP model - quickly, intuitively and efficiently.
  3. Technical support for special solutions:
    If the configuration does not provide a satisfactory solution, our development team will analyze the application individually. Within 2 weeks at the latest, customers receive a detailed solution sketch, tailored to the geometry, cleaning steps and processes.
  4. Modular implementation:
    The specific clip is developed, manufactured and integrated into the standardized basket system (e.g. shepherd dimension 470×320 mm) - for smooth integration into your existing cleaning systems.

Delivery times:

  • Average delivery time from release: approx. 2 months
  • Preconfigured standard solutions may be available more quickly

Your benefits with a cleaning basket from ZELL:

  • Optimum flow through open structures, precise holders, for ultrasonic, immersion and spray cleaning
