The evolution of oyster farming is driven by innovation and efficiency. With the Flip Farm system, we transform the production process, optimizing time, resources, and quality. Each phase is carefully designed to ensure oysters of perfect shape, balanced flavor, and robust structure.
Each oyster “I Gioielli di Lucrezia” grows through an innovative farming method that combines experience, technology, and optimized management to achieve a product of the highest quality.
Our goal is to maximize efficiency and yield, ensuring oysters with a perfect structure and a unique flavor.
We use the Flip Farm system, an advanced technology that has revolutionized oyster farming. Thanks to a system of rotating baskets, the oysters are periodically and carefully exposed to the air, bringing numerous benefits:
Shape and Strength → The constant movement of the baskets strengthens the shell, making it smoother and more resilient. The oysters grow with a uniform shell perfect for presentation and preservation.
Taste and Texture → The alternation between immersion and drying promotes a firmer, more compact flesh, enhancing the perfect balance between sweetness and minerality.
Efficiency and Sustainability → The Flip Farm system optimizes farm management, improving yield and reducing waste.
Reduced Time and Labor → The mechanization of the process drastically reduces working time and the number of people required to manage the farm. Manual intervention is minimized, making production more efficient and operationally sustainable.
Oyster farming is no longer just a handcrafted process: it is an advanced system where technology and optimized labor management come together to create a stronger, more balanced oyster of superior quality.
Roll’Oyster is an automated farming system developed by Seaducer: modular, adaptable to different marine environments, and remotely managed through a central control unit. Equipped with environmental sensors, it monitors water quality and regulates the immersion and emergence of the baskets in real time, ensuring welfare, efficiency, and sustainability.
Roll’Oyster Technology: innovation in harmony with nature
At the heart of our production vision, technology meets the sea never forcing it. Roll’Oyster is a farming system automated and modular, developed by our partner Seaducer, designed to adapt seamlessly to different marine environments.
Unlike traditional methods, Roll’Oyster stands out for a fluid and intelligent approach..
The system is fully controlled remotely through an electronic control unit and equipped with environmental monitoring sensors that monitor water quality in real time.
Based on the parameters recorded, Roll’Oyster automatically regulates the immersion and emersion cycles of the baskets which host the oysters, optimizing growth conditions and intervening with precision whenever necessary.
ESSENTIAE has chosen this technology to support the baby oysters during the the most critical phase of their development, a phase where stability, care, and optimal environmental conditions make the difference between healthy development and the loss of potential.
This automation ensures not only a greater well-being for the oyster, which grows in more stable and less stressful conditions, but also a significant optimization of resources.
Less effort, fewer errors, greater precision: Roll’Oyster transforms oyster farming into a a measurable, sustainable, and advanced process..
For ESSENTIAE, it means being able to rely on a a discreet yet revolutionary technological ally, capable of accompanying the oyster’s natural cycle with respect, consistency, and vision.
Ceste robuste e versatili che aumentano la produttività, migliorano la qualità e semplificano ogni fase dell’allevamento.
Hexcyl Baskets: Innovation in the service of the sea
To ensure the best growth conditions for our oysters, we use Hexcyl baskets Hexcyl, a technology developed by a group of Australian oyster farmers with over sixty years of experience in the industry.
Designed for adjustable longline systems, these baskets are today among the most efficient and reliable tools for shellfish farming.
Their robust design allows productivity to increase by up to 40%, while at the same time improving stock quality and reducing operational costs. Each 25-liter basket can hold up to 10 kg of oysters, offering greater density and a more uniform distribution compared to traditional systems.
Thanks to its ability to adapt to different sizes and orientations, Hexcyl baskets can be effectively used both environements and high energy, where wave motion is stronger as well as in more sheltered areas. They are impact-resistant, tested in harsh weather conditions, and have a lifespan of over 10 years, representing a sustainable and long-lasting investment.
The flat and stable structure promotes uniform growth, while the quick-assembly system and multiple fastening options make operational management simple and efficient. Moreover, the mesh size of the baskets can be selected according to the oysters’ dimensions, ensuring a optimal progression throughout the different stages of farming.from the initial seeding stage (up to 10,000 oysters per 3 mm basket) to the grow out phases.
Lastly, the Hexcyl baskets are fully compatible with the Flip Farm system, the technology we use to automate and optimize rotation, cleaning, and management operations. This synergy between Hexcyl and FlipFarm allows us to maximize productive efficency, reduce manual intervention to a minimum and ensure our oysters constant, high-quality growth conditions.
