Abstract
The filter element of a filter has an internal face, an external face, a filtering mesh, two concentric circular inner and outer edges between which the filtering mesh extends, and radial ribs provided on the internal face. The radial ribs extend between the concentric edges and are distributed circumferentially in order to form sectors on the internal face. The filter element is configured to be assembled against a corresponding filter element so that the internal face faces the corresponding filter element. At least some of the sectors have a reinforcing rib connecting a radial rib to the outer edge, the reinforcing rib having a portion that is inclined, when viewed in the radial plane, with respect to the radial rib and to the outer edge.
