Papelera Guipuzcoana selects ANDRITZ for new chipping line at Hernani mill

Papelera Guipuzcoana de Zicuñaga, part of Spain’s Iberpapel Group, has awarded ANDRITZ an order to supply a new chipping line for its pulp mill in Hernani, set to start up in Q4 2026. The line will include a horizontally fed HHQ-Chipper with advanced TurnKnife technology to optimize wood usage and ensure top-quality chips. The system will process 400 m³/h of forest-debarked eucalyptus logs, replacing two existing chippers. This marks a continuation of the strong partnership between ANDRITZ and Papelera Guipuzcoana, following a 2023 lime kiln delivery. ANDRITZ’s offering encompasses advanced technology and sustainable solutions for the pulp and paper industry, emphasizing decarbonization and increased efficiency. Iberpapel has invested over €200 million in modernizing its facilities over the last two decades.
