Workpiece carriers for medical technology, dental technology & surgical instruments

Protecting precision - from production to sterile packaging

In medical technology, the highest demands are placed on technical cleanliness, surface protection and process reliability. Whether surgical instruments, dental drills, implants or complex assemblies - sensitive medical components must be guided through production, cleaning and packaging in a reproducible, residue-free and damage-free manner.

ZELL's workpiece carriers, cleaning baskets and load carriers provide manufacturers with a robust and adaptable solution for all production phases - from CNC machining to cleaning and sterile packaging.

Typical areas of application in medical technology

  • ✅ Production & processing of dental instruments (drills, milling cutters, grinders)
  • ✅ Production and cleaning of implants (dental implants, hip or spinal systems)
  • ✅ Handling of surgical instruments (forceps, scissors, clamps, endoscopy components)
  • ✅ Preparation for sterilization, assembly or packaging
  • ✅ Intermediate buffering & logistics in cleanroom or ultra-clean zones

Your benefits with ZELL carrier systems for medical components

🛡️ Protection of sensitive geometries

Even the smallest cutting tools or delicate implant structures are fixed with contour accuracy - for absolute protection against friction, deformation or scratches, even with long process chains.

🧼 Cleanable & sterilizable

ZELL cleaning baskets are suitable for aqueous, alcohol-based or ultrasonic cleaning systems. The open design ensures optimum media accessibility - a decisive advantage when cleaning components with complex internal contours or sensitive surfaces.

♻️ Sustainability through reusability

Our reusable load carriers are durable, stackable and compatible with common logistics and packaging systems. This allows manufacturers to reduce packaging waste and changeover times - especially for series or custom-made products.

🤖 Automatable & traceable

ZELL systems are suitable for automated loading, robot handling, test cells or automatic assembly machines. Optionally with laser marking, DMC or RFID for seamless traceability.
