Method for producing matte such as copper matte or nickel matte or crude metal such as blister copper in a suspension smelting furnace such as a flash smelting furnace or a flash converting furnace, comprising step for: feeding sulfidic raw material containing metal, slag-forming agent and oxygen containing reaction gas by means of a concentrate burner into a reaction shaft of the suspension smelting furnace to form a jet of oxidized suspension in the reaction shaft, receiving the jet of oxidized suspension in a landing zone of a settler in communication with a lower end of the reaction shaft, wherein the settler having an inner space and a first end wall structure at one end of the settler and a second end wall structure at the opposite end of the settler, forming a layer of matte or crude metal and a layer of slag on top of the layer of matte or crude metal in the inner space of the settler, leading process gases from the suspension smelting furnace via an uptake shaft, wherein the uptake shaft has a lower end in communication with the settler, discharging slag from the layer of slag in the settler through a first taphole, and discharging matte or crude metal from the layer of matte or crude metal in the settler through a second taphole, wherein the first taphole is arranged in the vertical direction at a level above the second taphole, characterized by, for the method, providing a suspension smelting furnace having a settler extending in two opposite directions from the landing zone for the jet of oxidized suspension below the reaction shaft in the settler so that the settler comprises a first settler part on a first side of the landing zone and a second settler part on an opposite second side of the landing zone, and having the lower end of the uptake shaft being in communication with the settler via the second settler part, by, for the method, providing a suspension smelting furnace having a settler provided with a bottom structure that slopes downwardly towards the second taphole from the first wall structure of the settler to the second end wall structure of the settler, by discharging slag from the layer of slag in the settler through a first taphole arranged in the first settler part, and by discharging matte or crude metal from the layer of matte or crude metal in the settler through a second taphole arranged in the second settler part. feeding sulfidic raw material containing metal, slag-forming agent and oxygen containing reaction gas by means of a concentrate burner into a reaction shaft of the suspension smelting furnace to form a jet of oxidized suspension in the reaction shaft, receiving the jet of oxidized suspension in a landing zone of a settler in communication with a lower end of the reaction shaft, wherein the settler having an inner space and a first end wall structure at one end of the settler and a second end wall structure at the opposite end of the settler, forming a layer of matte or crude metal and a layer of slag on top of the layer of matte or crude metal in the inner space of the settler, leading process gases from the suspension smelting furnace via an uptake shaft, wherein the uptake shaft has a lower end in communication with the settler, discharging slag from the layer of slag in the settler through a first taphole, and discharging matte or crude metal from the layer of matte or crude metal in the settler through a second taphole, wherein the first taphole is arranged in the vertical direction at a level above the second taphole, characterized by, for the method, providing a suspension smelting furnace having a settler extending in two opposite directions from the landing zone for the jet of oxidized suspension below the reaction shaft in the settler so that the settler comprises a first settler part on a first side of the landing zone and a second settler part on an opposite second side of the landing zone, and having the lower end of the uptake shaft being in communication with the settler via the second settler part, by, for the method, providing a suspension smelting furnace having a settler provided with a bottom structure that slopes downwardly towards the second taphole from the first wall structure of the settler to the second end wall structure of the settler, by discharging slag from the layer of slag in the settler through a first taphole arranged in the first settler part, and by discharging matte or crude metal from the layer of matte or crude metal in the settler through a second taphole arranged in the second settler part.
