Abstract

A filter screen structure for a backflushed liquid filter has a screen separating the raw-liquid side of the filter from the clean-liquid side thereof, including at least one row of substantially parallel rods extending along the screen, wherein the screen is threaded between the rods, partially enveloping the rods alternatingly from the raw-liquid side of the filter and from the clean-liquid side thereof. At least some of the rods are provided with substantially circumferential groove-like recesses, facilitating the passage of the liquid from the raw-liquid side via the screen to the clean-liquid side.
