Abstract
The invention relates to an apparatus for the continuous filtering of impurities from a flowable compound, especially a plastic melt, comprising a filter insert () in the form of a hollow rotary body which is held to rotate about its rotational axis (A) relative to a housing () and is flowed through by the flowable compound and which is arranged in a flow conduit of the housing () between a feed conduit () for the compound to be filtered and a discharge conduit () for the filtered compound, and a discharge apparatus for impurities held back by the filter, which apparatus comprises a feed screw () cooperating with the filter insert (). In order to provide advantageous constructional conditions it is proposed that the filter insert () comprises a disk-like filter () which is arranged on the face side of the rotary body and is coaxial to the rotational axis (A).
