Versatile applications
Carbon transfer in gold leaching. Handling of large stringy solids. Dandling of long stringy solids.
Design
Heavy-duty pump shaft moves freely under the bearing housing. No journal bearings below the liquid level to maintain.
Robust parts
Hydraulic parts are available from stock in cast iron and stainless steel and high chrome.
Global expertise, local support
Pumping and minerals processing professionals in over 60 countries in the world.

Metso vertical induced flow pumps range is better known as Sala ST Series vertical induced flow pumps.
Equipped with single suction and no shaft sealing, Sala ST vertical pumps can handle severe corrosion, abrasion and temperature extremes in the chemical, minerals processing, pulp and paper, brewing, food and other industries.
Typical applications
- Carbon transfer in gold leaching
- Handling of large stringy solids
The heavy duty pump shaft moves freely under the bearing housing.
There are no journal bearings below the liquid level to maintain. The pump has no stuffing box and thus does not require sealing water.
Metallurgy
Hydraulic parts are available from stock in cast iron and stainless steel and high chrome. Some sizes are also available with rubber lined or polyurethane wear parts.
The pump frame assemblies below the base plate are available in carbon steel and stainless steel. Other materials are available upon request.


Vortex impeller available
This recessed impeller is located out of the flow pattern. The pumping effect is performed by the vortex that the impeller generates in the slurry.
The passage through the vortex pump is fully open, therefore it is especially suited for pumping fibres and similar material.
Impeller adjustment
Easily adjustable shaft allows setting of pump clearances for maximum performance.
V-belt drive
The V-belt drive permits simple cost-effective adjustment of pump flow rate.
