Hexcyl Systems was founded in 2007 by a team of experienced Australian oyster farmers who intimately understand the challenges of aquaculture. Frustrated with fragile, low‑performing baskets and accessories, they engineered a line of oyster farming systems built to last; even in the harshest marine environments. Hexcyl products deliver unmatched durability, increased stock density and productivity, and rugged performance you can rely on year after year.
Ideal for new farmers or boutique growers focused on quality over quantity. Hexcyl’s easy‑to‑assemble baskets and flexible system options help simplify setup and daily operations.
Farmers scaling production benefit from Hexcyl’s range of basket mesh sizes and robust longline solutions. Higher stock density and even conditioning translate to better yields and more efficient workflows.
Hexcyl baskets are designed for professional oyster farmers looking to scale up production and capitalise on the efficiencies of adjustable longline and surface floating systems.
Hexcyl’s baskets are versatile across various shellfish types, suitable not just for oysters but also for clams, flat oysters and urchins.
Our baskets and clips will outperform other plastic baskets because we use a specially developed Ultra High Impact Resistant materials known for sub zero temperature performance. All materials have the highest possible Ultra Violet resistance. We have had product in the field for over 10 years. Hexcyl baskets have been in continuous use in the field for 18 years with no UV degradation leading to basket failures.
