Testimonials

Proven on real farms, trusted in real conditions

Hexcyl systems are used every day by oyster farmers working in some of the worlds toughest growing environments. From small leases to large commercial operations, farmers choose Hexcyl for its strength, consistency, and long-term value.

“Smart design, simple assembly and long-term durability make Hexcyl baskets a reliable choice for oyster growers focused on performance and value.’

‘We’ve found Hexcyl baskets simple and logical to order, fast to assemble, and extremely durable in use. Their versatility across grades and better wear over time has delivered strong lifecycle value and a very competitive unit cost per crop of oysters.”

- Ian Duthie
Seaperfect Pty Ltd, Tasmania

“The Hexcyl shellfish basket has become a core part of our nursery spat program. The increased volume of the 3mm and particularly the 5mm mesh baskets perform exceptionally well for mid-size oyster spat by promoting uniform growth and deep cupped shell shape.”

- Adam Butterworth
Sea Ready Shellfish, South Australia

“Hexcyl shellfish baskets have enabled Oileain Oysters to consistently grow world-class oysters, supporting reduced mortality and results that have opened markets worldwide. Successful trials with clams and native flat oysters further prove the basket’s effectiveness in creating ideal growing conditions for shellfish.”

“I have used Hexcyl baskets extensively in Flip Farm operations on Bruny Island and Spring Bay in Tasmania Australia. In both operations we were transitioning out of traditional systems that used a multitude of other basket types. In all my experiences Hexcyl oyster baskets were the superior product and in a world of ever increasing options Hexcyl continues to lead the industry. In short I do not hesitate to recommend Hexcyl products to anyone considering upgrading or innovating their oyster systems.”
