  • Patent number: 8741016
    Abstract: A filter device has a compact filter made of a filter material that is wound spirally. A star filter that is made of a filter material that has folds arranged in a star shape surrounds the compact filter. The filter device has a cylindrical shape. A fluid to be filtered passes the compact filter in an axial direction and the star filter in a radial direction. The filter device is exchangeable and is mounted in a filter housing such that the compact filter and the star filter have a common raw side and a common clean side that are separated from each other.

  • Patent number: 7244282
    Abstract: A separator device, particularly a separator for separating particles from an air stream, which includes a first stage having at least one centrifugal separator through which the fluid flows along a first axial path. The centrifugal separator has a guide device for generating a spiral movement of the fluid. A second stage is directly downstream from the first stage and has an essentially cylindrical housing. A dust discharge is provided in the area of the fluid outlet, and a central pipe which is arranged concentrically and has a truncated conical shape is provided in the second stage.
