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 reproducibly, without residue, and without damage through manufacturing, cleaning, and packaging.
With ZELL part carriers, cleaning baskets and load carriers, manufacturers receive a robust and adaptable solution for all production phases - from CNC machining and cleaning to sterile packaging.
✅ Manufacturing & processing of dental instruments (drills, milling cutters, grinders)
✅ Production and cleaning of implants (dental implants, hip or spinal systems)
✅ Handling of surgical instruments (tweezers, scissors, clamps, endoscopy components)
✅ Preparation for sterilization, assembly, or packaging
✅ Intermediate buffering & logistics in cleanroom or ultra-pure zones
ZELL supplies companies from areas such as:
ZELL does not develop standard baskets, but application-specific carrier systems, tailored to your component geometry, cleaning requirements and logistical processes. Our systems have been used for years in highly regulated industries, including customers with validation and audit obligations.
✔ Scratch and damage-free component handling
✔ Easy to clean & drying-optimized
✔ Stackable, automatable & ESD-compatible (optional)
✔ Traceable by laser engraving or RFID
✔ Compatible with common logistics containers
✔ Customized development & series production possible

Depending on the application, we recommend starting with our "Factory" workpiece carriers, as these can be configured both as inserts for Euro containers and as standalone functional carriers. More demanding applications are better suited to our reinforced "Carrier" or "Stainless Steel" carriers.
Yes, all carriers are washable. Samples can be provided for specific critical process parameters.
Yes, all workpiece carriers are compatible with automation systems, form a defined matrix, and can therefore be configured for robotic use. Components are arranged in such a way that grippers can be positioned accordingly. Because the carriers are designed to be cleanable, they are slightly heavier; therefore, their weight and center of gravity must be taken into account when handling the entire carrier.
Our plastic carriers operate reliably over extended periods at temperatures of approximately 60–70°C, and in some cases even at significantly higher temperatures during short cycles. Our stainless steel carriers—particularly the GRID carriers—can be used in furnaces at temperatures up to 1,200°C. For additional specifications, please refer to our material data sheets.
Yes, all plastic components can be manufactured with an antistatic additive. See also the data sheet in the Downloads section.
Yes, ZELL can custom-manufacture component holders, as well as entire workpiece carriers or inlays for containers, as a single injection-molded component. We typically start by reviewing the more than 1,300 available variants using our ZELL configurator; if no satisfactory solution is found there, customers can work with our engineering team to develop a “new clip.” These can be tested in 3D and as prototypes before the corresponding injection mold is manufactured.
