XL FLIPMATE

Five years ago, we recognised the inefficiency of manually flipping floating bags and developed the first XL FLIPMATE prototype. Designed by oyster farmers for oyster farmers, this innovative system has been rigorously tested in all conditions. Over the years, we've continued to refine and enhance the design while actively using it in our own oyster farming operations.

The result? Significant improvements in efficiency and a noticeable reduction in injury risk. The XL FLIPMATE is now fully optimised and ready to be deployed on your farm, offering you the same benefits we've enjoyed.

The XL FLIPMATE is designed for simplicity and efficiency. It’s easily loaded onto and securely fixed to the side of a standard oyster punt with a gunnel up to 680mm. During travel, the system sits safely inside the boat. Once you’re ready to start, simply flip it over into the water, and it’s set for operation.

Crafted from marine-grade stainless steel, the XL FLIPMATE is built to withstand the friction and force of flipping bags, handling both single and double bag flips effortlessly.

When you return to your land base, the system can be easily unscrewed and unloaded, ready for your next bag-flipping adventure.

Saves you time: With the XL FLIPMATE, you can flip two to three times more bags, significantly boosting your efficiency on the water.

Ensures even oyster growth: The system flips bags in one smooth motion, reducing biofouling and minimizing stress on the oysters, promoting more uniform growth.

Uses fewer resources: By streamlining operations, the XL FLIPMATE allows you to reduce your crew size, cutting down on labor costs.

Reduces injury risk: Manual flipping involves intensive, repetitive, weight-bearing tasks that can lead to injuries. The XL FLIPMATE eliminates this risk, making the work safer for your crew.
