Case Studies
Detailed looks at how farms around the world have achieved measurable improvements with SEAPA equipment.
“The difference in cup quality was visible within the first season. Our buyers immediately noticed, and we've been able to command premium prices ever since.”
Coffin Bay Oysters
The Challenge
Inconsistent cup depth was affecting premium market positioning. Traditional basket systems weren't delivering the deep cups demanded by Sydney's top restaurants.
The Solution
Implemented SEAPA GTX20 baskets across 40 hectares with optimized tumbling schedules. Integrated the REVO System for surface drying conditioning.
Results
- 35% improvement in average cup depth
- Premium market acceptance rate increased from 60% to 85%
- Labor hours reduced by 20% through easier handling
- Equipment replacement costs down 40% over 3 years
“We've tried every basket on the market. SEAPA is the only one that survives our Maine winters without cracking. The cold-weather testing they do in Australia really shows.”
Penobscot Bay Shellfish
The Challenge
Extreme winter conditions were causing equipment failures and limiting the growing season. Needed baskets that could withstand -26°C temperatures without becoming brittle.
The Solution
Deployed SEAPA baskets with cold-weather tested HDPE material. Implemented STORMBREAKER protection for winter storm events.
Results
- Zero basket failures during 3 consecutive winters
- Extended operational season by 6 weeks
- Survival rates improved by 15% in cold months
- ROI achieved in 18 months
“Scaling up is about systems, not just equipment. SEAPA gave us a complete solution that grows with us. Every basket works the same way, which makes training and quality control so much easier.”
Freycinet Marine Farm
The Challenge
Scaling from 10 to 50 hectares required standardized equipment that could maintain quality while increasing efficiency. Previous mixed-equipment approach was causing inconsistencies.
The Solution
Standardized entire operation on SEAPA systems. Implemented full product line from 15L baskets for spat through GTX20 for grow-out, with REVO for finishing.
Results
- Production volume increased 400% over 4 years
- Quality consistency maintained at scale
- Training time for new staff reduced by 50%
- Maintenance simplified with single-supplier parts
