Abstract: A self-cleaning mechanical filter comprises a mechanism for simultaneously cleaning the internal surface and the external surface of a filter element. The filter is provided with structure for performing suction scanning of solid materials accumulated on the internal surface of the filter element, and structure which can be operated in synchronization with the suction scanning structure for backwashing the external surface of the filter element during a self-cleaning process.
