Abstract: The invention relates to a device for filtering a fluid, in particular a liquefied plastic, with a housing with backflush channel and screen carrier and filter element whereby, in order to accelerate and improve the backflush effect, one or more displacement cylinders are provided that guide material removed from the production at adjustable high pressure and speed to the screen to be cleaned from the clean screen side to the dirty screen side, whereby an additional pressure generator ensures constant process pressure.

Abstract: A device for filtering a fluid, in particular a liquefied plastic, has a housing with at least one supply channel and having a discharge channel. In the flow path of the fluid at least one screen is arranged in a corresponding screen space in at least one screen carrier, which is supported so as to be displaceable crosswise to the direction of flow. The screen can be brought into connection with the supply channel and with the discharge channel, the screen being formed as an elongate oval or a polygon. The channel splits into two partial supply channels, which open out into the screen space on the dirty side of the screen. The front supply channel, viewed in the screen change direction, opens out into a channel worked into the screen carrier, which channel feeds to the screen space the plastic to be filtered.
