Abstract: A filtering device for filtering a fluid, in particular a liquefied plastic, includes a housing having a receptacle for receiving a screen carrier and having a fluid inlet channel and a fluid outlet channel, a screen carrier movably received along a longitudinal axis inside the receptacle and having a screen carrier inlet, a screen carrier outlet and a cavity for receiving a filter element, wherein the cavity is in fluid communication with the screen carrier inlet and the screen carrier outlet, and the screen carrier can be moved from a screen replacement position via a venting position area into a filtering position. The screen carrier has a throttle recess which is arranged adjacent to the screen carrier outlet and is in fluid communication with the cavity, and which opens a variable flow cross-section between the cavity and the fluid outlet channel.

Abstract: The invention relates to a filtering device for filtering a fluid, and in particular a liquefied plastic. The filtering device includes a control unit to control the position of a screen carrier by generating control signals such that the fluid pressure in a fluid inlet channel and/or in a fluid outlet channel remains within definable pressure ranges while a cavity is being filled.
