The mounting machines EC-1000 and EC-1200 have now been equipped with a new cutting machine which Neptunus says makes things much easier for the user.<\/p>\n<p>Today people cut off the nets from the ropes by hand. Now times have finally changed for the better for gill net users: &#8220;This has been in development for almost nine years now, and finally we solved it,&#8221; says Bj\u00f6rn Halld\u00f3rsson, the maker of the new mounting method.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Now you can measure the length of the ropes, mount the nets and cut the nets off the ropes with only one machine,&#8221; Mr Halld\u00f3rsson says. &#8220;This is truly a revolution for gill net users.
