The present invention relates to a rotating device for continuously filtering a liquid such as a solution containing a precipitate. According to this invention, the device comprises a cylindrical, horizontal-axis drum of revolution, rotated by a drive system, a plurality of filtering elements each disposed axially, forming at least a part of the cylindrical wall of the drum, said filtering elements each being connected to a process conduit, a system for supplying liquid to be filtered, opening via said opening inside said drum, a system for evacuating the cake, a system for evacuating the filtrate passing through said process conduits, a hydraulic supply assembly comprising a pulsed compressed air supply and means forcing the passage of said liquid through the filtering elements, said supply assembly being adapted to communicate with said process conduits by a connecting system allowing an angular distribution of the operations effected by said device, these operations comprising at least the filtration of the liquid and the separation of the cake from said filtering elements by cleaning.
