Sala Series of Vertical Tank Pumps

Product catalog summary
Overview: The Metso VT series of vertical tank pumps are designed for abrasive slurry service, featuring a robust and maintenance-friendly design. These pumps are an evolution of the SALA tank pump SPV, offering improved integration and operational efficiency.
Design Features:
  • Integrated Unit: The pump, sump, and motor form a single unit, simplifying installation and eliminating the need for special foundations.
  • Smooth Operation: The open sump and vertical inlet design prevent air blocking, allowing the pumps to run dry.
  • Cantilever Design: The pump shaft is cantilevered, eliminating the need for submerged bearings or shaft seals, reducing maintenance requirements.
  • Bearing Assembly: Features grease-lubricated anti-friction bearings with double protection against slurry ingress.
  • Impeller Options: Available in semi-open (Type O) for blockage-free operation and closed (Type C) for high head and efficiency.
  • Material Options: Wear parts are available in natural rubber, high chrome iron alloy, and other materials, ensuring long wear life and interchangeability.
Drive and Maintenance:
  • Pumps are equipped with a V-belt drive, motor, and drive guard. The motor is mounted vertically on an adjustable plate.
  • Maintenance is simplified with a beam-supported casing, allowing easy access to wet end parts, especially in larger pump sizes.
Applications: These pumps are suitable for various industrial applications, including dewatering cyclones, screen underflow duties, sampling in concentrators, and mixing/distribution in sewage plants or cement grouting.
Technical Specifications:
  • Pump sizes range from VT 40 to VT 250, with varying dimensions and weights depending on the material used.
  • Motor size and V-belt drive are selected based on slurry flow rate, density, and total discharge head.
Additional Products: Metso offers a range of other pump products, including rubber-lined and hard metal pumps, vertical sump pumps, and vertical froth pumps.
Contact Information: Metso Corporation and its subsidiaries are located worldwide, providing contact details for offices in Finland, Sweden, USA, South Africa, Australia, India, Peru, Chile, and Brazil.
