Reliable component handling for maximum precision and safety

The aerospace industry places extreme demands on manufacturing, maintenance, and logistics: Technical cleanliness, dimensional accuracy, traceability, and surface protection are crucial for the quality of safety-relevant components.

Whether engine components, structural components, hydraulic elements, sensors or aerospace modules – with part carriers, load carriers and modular cleaning baskets from ZELL, manufacturers and MRO service providers secure their components through all processes: from machining to cleaning, assembly and logistics.

Typical applications in aviation & aerospace

Component cleaning of components before and after processing or testing

Surface treatment including vibratory grinding, deburring or coating

Maintenance & Overhaul (MRO) – secure holding and temporary storage of assemblies

Aerospace technology – handling of sensitive, complex structures with strict cleanliness and material requirements

Transport & logistics between production sites, partners or testing facilities

Your Benefits with ZELL Part Carrier Systems for Aerospace Applications

Component protection without compromise

Aerospace parts often have complex geometries, defined sealing surfaces and sensitive coatings. The precisely fitting workpiece carriers from ZELL reliably protect against friction, deformation and particle abrasion – even during longer transport or multiple process cycles.

Cleanable & media-resistant

Our modular cleaning baskets are suitable for use in aqueous and solvent-based systems and enable complete flow-through for critical component cleaning – even with tight tolerances and difficult geometries.

Reusable & stackable

ZELL component carriers and load carriers are robust, reusable, stackable, and compatible with aviation logistics systems (e.g., special containers, ESD environments, cleanroom requirements).

Automation & traceability

Our carrier systems can be integrated into automated production, testing or packaging lines and, if required, can be equipped with

‍Laser engraving, DMC or RFID for seamless component tracking - compliant with the high documentation requirements of the industry.

Suitable for these aerospace areas
