Part carriers, goods carriers and cleaning baskets for the manufacturing industry

Clean processes, safe components – from CNC to surface finish

In the modern manufacturing of precision parts, assemblies, and functional parts, one thing is clear: Every process step must run exactly, cleanly, and reproducibly. Whether CNC machining, punching, milling, grinding, honing, cleaning, quality control, or contract manufacturing – with the part carriers, material carriers, and modular cleaning baskets from ZELL, components can be reliably protected, cleaned, transported, and traced.

Advantages of modular carrier systems in industrial manufacturing

✅ Component protection at the highest level

ZELL Part Carriers are individually tailored to your component geometry – this prevents scratches, friction, collisions, or deformations. Even with sensitive surfaces, sharp edges, or delicate components, parts remain securely fixed.

✅ Reusable product carriers & load carriers

In contrast to disposable or foam solutions, ZELL's reusable carriers offer a durable, sustainable, and stackable solution for series production, intermediate buffering, or logistics – including integration into small load carriers (KLT), Euroboxes, or special containers.

✅ Cleaning baskets for the highest technical cleanliness

ZELL cleaning baskets are designed for aqueous, alcohol-based, or ultrasonic cleaning processes. They enable VDA-19-compliant cleaning with free flow and exact positioning – ideal prior to electroplating, assembly, or testing.

✅ Compatible with automation and conveyor technology

Whether in robotic cells, conveyor belts or palletizing systems – all carriers can be automatically handled, stacked and tracked. They are suitable for pick & place, machine loading and measuring stations.
