Why part carriers are decisive
Baskets and part carriers are more than a means of transport: they position the part in the cleaning medium and determine flow, drainage and drying, and with it the cleaning result. A part-specific carrier prevents marks, shadowing and standing residual liquid, and protects delicate surfaces.
What matters
- Part-specific seating: a defined position, no contact with sensitive surfaces
- Good flow and drainage: the medium reaches all surfaces and drains off completely
- Material and coating matched to the medium and the part
- Handling: stackable, automatable, ergonomic
Standard or custom
From the standard basket to the part-specific custom carrier: matched to the machine, the part and the process. Especially for delicate or geometrically demanding parts, the right carrier determines reproducibility and reject rates.
Plastic instead of stainless steel: FRIES tech-rack
For many tasks, carriers made of plastic are a better choice than stainless steel: they protect delicate parts from impact marks and scratches, which lowers reject rates. With FRIES tech-rack we offer a modular system of part carriers and cleaning baskets, easily reconfigured for other part geometries and suitable for aqueous and solvent-based processes as well as ultrasonic applications (material variants up to ESD).
The full FRIES catalogue is available for download below, after briefly providing your company and email.
Advice
We determine together which carrier suits the part and the machine, often in the same trial as the choice of process: 1–2 hours of testing free of charge. In-depth feasibility studies: CHF 1’200 per day, 50% creditable against a machine purchase.
