Abstract
A filter device with a filter body (1) has a filter bowl (3) and a filter head (5) formed by a removable locking piece of the filter bowl (3). The filter head (5) has a connection point (15) for an unfiltrate flow and a connection point (27) for discharging a filtrate flow. A filter element (7) containing filter material (11) is connected between the connection points (15, 27) and is disposed inside the filter bowl (3) for the filtration of the unfiltrate, specifically for particle contamination. A flow directing device (33) directs the unfiltrate flow to the surface sections of the filter material (11) of the filter element (7) to provide a filtering action when the device is in operation. The flow directing device is a molded component (33) that belongs to the filter head (5) and to which a fluid flow is applied.
