Abstract: Described herein is a method for cleaning an electrocoating bath in a continuous facility, where a skid connected to a conveying installation is conveyed through the electrocoating bath, and where the skid includes a filter medium; the filter medium is secured on the skid via at least one movable connecting element; the movable connecting element allows the orientation of the filter medium at the interface between electrocoating bath and air; and, after immersion of the skid into the electrocoating bath, during the conveying of the skid through the electrocoating bath, the filter medium is oriented at the interface between electrocoating bath and air and is drawn along the surface of the electrocoating bath. Also described herein is a skid for use in the cleaning method.
