Papelera Guipuzcoana de Zicuñaga has awarded international technology group ANDRITZ an order to deliver a new chipping line for its pulp mill in Hernani, Spain. Start-up is scheduled for the fourth quarter of 2026.
The delivery includes a new chipping line with a horizontally fed HHQ-Chipper featuring the advanced TurnKnife knife system, which ensures efficient use of the wood raw material and provides the highest chip quality on the market. The scope of supply comprises log receiving, log washing, chipping, and conveyor systems. The chipping line will have the capacity to process 400 m³/h of forest-debarked eucalyptus logs and will replace two existing ones.
This order further solidifies the strong business relationship between ANDRITZ and Papelera Guipuzcoana. Most recently, in 2023, ANDRITZ supplied a lime kiln to the same mill.
The value of the order will not be disclosed. It is included in ANDRITZ’s order intake for the second quarter of 2025.
Papelera Guipuzcoana de Zicuñaga is part of the Iberpapel Group, a leading vertically integrated paper company in Spain. Iberpapel is committed to quality, service, and environmental responsibility, having invested over 200 million euros in modernizing and enhancing its facilities over the past 20 years.
