Defense

Precise. Robust. Traceable.

Part carriers for manufacturers in the defense sector

In the defense industry, the highest demands are placed on production reliability, material resistance, and technical cleanliness. Whether weapon parts, ammunition components, sensor housings, or air defense mechanisms – ZELL part carriers offer proven solutions for the safe transport, the residue-free cleaning, and the process-stable handling of critical components.

Numerous well-known companies in defense technology already rely on individually developed carrier systems from ZELL to guide sensitive components efficiently and without damage through demanding manufacturing processes.

Typical areas of application in defense technology

  • Manufacturing & assembly of weapon components
  • Handling & cleaning of ammunition casings and internal components
  • Transport of defense and target system components (e. g. mechanical modules)
  • Safe storage and logistics of precision parts & housings
  • Cleaning before electroplating, coating or assembly

Requirements that ZELL systems meet

🔧 Mechanical strength & dimensional stability

Components in the defense industry are often heavy, angular, or highly precise. ZELL carrier systems are designed to remain dimensionally stable even under high weight and continuous load, without causing damage to components.

🧼 Technical cleanliness & cleanability

Many components must be free of oil, grease, and particles – e.g., for electroplating or assembly. The cleaning-optimized ZELL carriers can be completely flushed, dried, and easily integrated into cleaning systems (e.g., aqueous, ultrasonic).

🛡️ Protection of sensitive functional surfaces

Functionally relevant surfaces such as sealing zones, bearing points or threads are protected against damage by precisely fitting storage - even during transport between production stations or with external partners.

📦 Compatibility with standard logistics & conveyor technology

ZELL carriers can be integrated as inlays in standard reusable containers (KLT, Euroboxes), are stackable and suitable for automated transfers, pick & place or robotics processes.

🔍 Traceability & Documentation security

On request, carriers are equipped with DMC, laser marking, or RFID – for complete batch tracking and quality documentation, as required in safety-critical industries.

Individual. Secure. Ready for long-term use.

ZELL develops carrier systems tailored to your component geometries and process conditions – from prototypes and small series to large-scale production. All systems are reusable, durable and, if required, 100% recyclable.
