  • ✅ Storage and transport of tool components or assemblies
  • ✅ Cleaning before/after coating or quality inspection
  • ✅ Protection of sharp edges, fitting surfaces and functional geometries
  • ✅ Intermediate buffering in processing, coating, or logistics lines

Particularly relevant for these target groups

  • Manufacturers of cutting tools
  • Clamping technology and holding fixture specialists
  • Tool regrinding & service providers
  • Coating service provider
  • Tooling logistics & maintenance departments

Your Benefits with ZELL Part Carrier Systems

🛡️ Component protection with a system

Tools, cutting edges, guide surfaces and mounting areas are precisely fixed – for stress-free storage without frictional contact, even with complex geometries or sensitive surfaces.

🔁 Modular & versatile

ZELL systems feature a modular design for rapid retrofitting, flexible adaptation to various tool types, and high compatibility with standard containers such as KLTs or Euroboxes.

🧼 Cleaning compatibility included

Cleaning baskets enable residue-free flow and are resistant to cleaning media and temperature loads – ideal before coating, visual inspection or assembly.

♻️ Sustainable & reusable

All carriers are designed for long-term use and high circulation rates. This reduces packaging costs, lowers scrap and improves the sustainability balance sheet.

🤖 Automation & Traceability

Compatible with robot handling, palletizers, and testing systems – optionally with laser marking, DMC, or RFID for integration into digital tool processes.

⚡ Optional: ESD-compatible materials

Also available for hybrid components or sensor-equipped components with antistatic materials - safe & standard-compliant.
