A filter with membranes of hollow fibres (32) is described, wherein the hollow fibres (32) are arranged as a bundle (30) in a tubular housing (3). The housing (3) comprises a cap (7) at each of its ends, while the hollow fibre bundle (30) is disposed between the ends of the housing (3), the ends (34) of the hollow fibre bundle (30) are each surrunded by a support ring (50) and are potted in the support ring (50). The support ring (50) is formed such that the end (34) of the hollow fibre bundle (30) lies with its edge essentially against the support ring (50), and the cap (7) sits axially on the support ring (50). In this way, the ring (81) of potting compound (80) between the edge of the hollow fibre bundle (30) and the support ring (50) or the inner side of the cap (7) is minimised so that the deposition of substances in this region is prevented. Furthermore, the support ring (50) is arranged to be movable in the housing in order to compensate particularly for axial shrinkage of the hollow fibre bundle (30) during heat sterilisation. |
