An edge filter for lubricating oil or the like having a cylindrical rotatable filter insert is to be cleaned in the closed state by flow reversal at a part of the filter surface. During normal operation, the entire filter surface is to be available for action. The solution is a U-shaped profile which permanently lies against the filter insert with one arm and thus on rotation of the filter insert serves as a scraper and which for cleaning is pressed with both arms against the filter insert so that a wash channel results which is connected to a flushing orifice and through which a backwash through the filter surface can be produced. When two such filters are combined, an expedient apparatus is provided for continuously operating machines. In the drawing, in Fig. 1, the filter is depicted in cross-section in normal operation, in Fig. 2, the filter is depicted during washing in cross-section and, in Fig. 3, the filter is depicted in longitudinal section. <IMAGE>
