Spat Bags for sale

They are made from Truck Mesh which is UV and very strong. They have a zipper down the spine that is also UV and very versatile. They also have no seams on the inside so the baby spats can't get into the seams. The ends have UV webbing on the them which makes them very strong. These  particular ones are a triangle shape but I can make any shape. On each end there is different color webbing, the coloured webbing lets you know which end the zipper opens from and the black webbing is on the other end and it also helps with keeping the bags in shape and holding them in the basket. Please note I don't supply the baskets. The price per Spat Bag is $60 each. If you would like more information please email me or call 0404366609.

Oyster graders

Oyster farming is no easy task, and we understand and respect that.  It is absolutely critical for the financial sustainability of your oyster farm to ensure the maximum yield, or return, when it comes time to sell your harvest to market. It is just as critical to get your harvest prepared for market as cost effectively as possible.
 
The KW Automation Oyster Grading Line has been designed to deliver additional profits through two very key areas as follows.

  1. What would it mean to you if you could grade all of your oysters at their correct size?
 
Think about how many oysters that you harvest in a week and what impact it would be if all were graded and sold at their correct size? Now multiply that by 1 year.

  1. What would it mean to your harvest profitability if you could sort and grade with only 2 people?
 
Our Oyster Grading Line has been designed to be easy to use and can be operated by two people. This just creates so many questions when you start to think about this ...
