Chipper

This disposed of waste timber up to 8 by 6 inches (200mm by 150mm). It was quite large for the time, being fed from the chain with feed rollers. The chips were then belt-fed to a hopper which opened to fill the bins on the chip liner trucks underneath. The chips were exported from Port Nelson to Japan.

The land where Brookside Mill operated until 1982 is still owned by Carter Holt Harvey, which owns Eves Valley Mill.
