Abstract
Cylindrical textile filters of the radially outward filtration flow type such as utilized in textile wet processing systems are cleaned of filtered accumulation in an inclined filter housing wherein the filter is continuously rotated while a spray nozzle travels axially along the length of the filter applying a high velocity spray of cleaning water radially inwardly with respect to the filter. Simultaneously, a shower-like water spray is applied axially through the filter interior to flush the filtered accumulation as it is dislodged by the high-pressure spray nozzle.
