Abstract: A reversible-flow filter with a filter insert in a filter housing, the inner space of which being connected to a fluid inlet, an outlet and a backwash device being rotatable and having a backwash body with a washing gap, reaching near the surface of the filter wall, for cleaning off the filter wall in backwash operation. The backwash device is coupled at one axial end to a rotary drive and at its other end to a sludge discharge. The backwash body having a suckaway slot openable into the inner space, separate from the washing gap and having a larger opening cross-section than the washing gap, wherein the backwash device has a hollow shaft partially movable in relation to the backwash body and rotatable for connecting the washing gap or suckaway slot to the sludge discharge as a function of the relative position between the backwash body and the hollow shaft.

Abstract: In the backflush filter (10) according to the invention, in which the flushing back of the filter inserts (15) which are received in several filter chambers takes place by means of flushing filtrate loaded by compressed air, the flush valve (35) and the mud drain valve (39) are actuated by a common drive, whereas the valves or the valve bores (45, 46) are dimensioned in such a manner that the flush valve only releases the connection to the filtrate chamber (19?) of the filter inserts (15?) to be flushed back, when the mud drain valve has already at least partially released the connection between the mud chamber (24?) of the affected filter chamber (14?) with a mud outlet (40). By this, it is ensured in a particularly simple manner that at the backflush process the pressure level in the mud chamber has already dropped before the filtrate for the backflush is loaded with compressed air (see FIG. 2).

Abstract: A backflushing filter for filtering oil includes filter candles 22 which are open at both ends 24, 34 and disposed around a rotary shaft 1 in a filter housing. A cleaning device is moved in conjunction with the rotary shaft and includes upper and lower flushing cocks communicating with an outflow valve via the shaft for cleaning the candles during a backflushing operation. The upper flushing cock 27 is offset by an angle in the direction of rotation in relation to the lower flushing cock 37. A lower closure element 38 moves in conjunction with the upper flushing cock at the opposite end of a filter candle(s) selected for backflushing. Likewise, an upper closure element is associated with the lower flushing cock. The candles can be reverse-flushed in opposite directions and at different times by the flushing cocks and closure elements. The flushing cocks and closure elements are moved inside annular deflection hoods 60, 70.

By this, it is ensured in a particularly simple manner that at the backflush process the pressure level in the mud chamber has already dropped before the filtrate for the backflush is loaded with compressed air (see FIG. 2).

Abstract: This invention relates to a backflushing filter, particularly for filtering lubricating oil. Filter candles 22 which are open at both ends 24, 34 are disposed around a rotary shaft 1 in the filter housing 11, 12, the interior space of which filter candles can be acted upon in filtration operation by a sludge which flows into the backflushing filter 10. A cleaning device is moved in conjunction by means of the rotary shaft 1, and comprises an upper flushing cock 27 and a lower flushing cock, which communicate with an outflow valve via the rotary shaft 1, for cleaning the filter candles 22′ during a backflushing operation. The upper flushing cock 27 is offset by an angle in the direction of rotation in relation to the lower flushing cock 37.

Abstract: The flush-back filter according to the invention uses as supporting element for at least one filter element a support cage which is arranged firmly on the inside of the filter housing and is penetrated from the interior to the exterior by the medium to be filtered. At the interior of the support cage a lifting or rotating flush-back device is located which upon its movement passes over the slot-type windows of the support cage in succession. The slot-type windows are arranged on the support cage in several groups in such a way that the windows of the one group are offset against those of the other group(s) in the direction of movement of the flush-back device, in such a way that the windows of the one group lie at least with the webs of another group on a common plane. In this way the entire filter area is subjected to the flush-back operation during this operation only over very small surface areas, with the result that small flush-back volumes can be used and the pressure drop is slight.
