  • Patent number: 6596166
    Abstract: Apparatus for cleaning a filter cloth in a filtering device with a rotatable drum having an inlet for the liquid to be filtered. The drum has in its circumferential surface openings through which the liquid to be filtered is conducted in a filtering direction out of the drum for filtering through a filter cloth. The cleaning apparatus includes at least one spray nozzle which is adapted to spray cleaning liquid onto a portion of the filter cloth in a direction opposite to the filtering direction. Moreover the apparatus comprises a driving device for providing a reciprocating motion of the spray nozzle. The driving device has a coupling which is adapted to transform the rotary motion of the drum into the reciprocating motion of the spray nozzle, with such a ratio that the rotary motion of the drum and the reciprocating motion of the spray nozzle are out of phase with each other.
