<p>The invention relates to a self-cleaning filter (10) having a filter body (11) with a diameter D, that comprises an inlet (12), an axial filter basket (20a), a transversal outlet (14), a reject outlet (16), and a cleaning element (22a) operable by an actuator (24a) to travel along said filter basket's (20a) centre axis. According to the invention, the outlet (14) comprises an upstream end defined by an opening (86) in the filter body, which opening has a minor axis x and a major axis y, a downstream end piece (82) with a circular cylindrical cross-section having a diameter d, and a transition piece (80) that interconnects said opening (86) with said end piece (82); where D > 1.5d, x < d, and y > 1.1 d. The invention also relates to a method of cleaning the self-cleaning filter.</p> |
