The filter intercepts dirt emanating from a molten-polymer extruder. The filter is clamped between perforated support plates, and a rotor sweeps the holes in the upstream plate. The rotor defines a cavity which communicates with a small sector of the holes at any one time. The cavity is openable to drain, via a valve. The melt is under high pressure, to which the cavity is exposed. The rotor is rotated by a drive-shaft, and the drain is located co-axially with the drive-shaft.

[ What is claimed is:] [1.] Apparatus for filtering dirt from a high-pressure flowing liquid polymer, wherein:the apparatus includes a filter screen, which is of suitable mesh for filtering out and retaining particles of dirt in the liquid passing through the screen;the apparatus includes an entry port for receiving the liquid, and a delivery chamber for receiving liquid that has passed through the filter screen;the disposition of the apparatus is such that the liquid in the delivery chamber is under a relatively high pressure;the apparatus includes an upstream plate, which is located upstream of the filter screen;the upstream, plate has an upstream surface, which faces away from the filter screen;the upstream plate is perforated with many holes, through which the liquid passes prior to entering the filter screen;the many holes have respective mouths, which open from the upstream surface of the upstream plate;the apparatus includes an arm;the apparatus includes a means for creating relative rotary motion between the upstream plate and the arm;the arrangement of the apparatus is such that the said rotary motion is motion in which a rubbing surface of the arm rubs relatively against the upstream surface of the upstream plate, and is motion in which the rubbing surface of the arm sweeps relatively over the mouths of the holes in the upstream plate, thereby covering and uncovering the holes;the rubbing surface of the arm is configured as a relatively narrow land;the land is so shaped as to enclose an arm-area, and the arm includes an arm-cavity, which is open to the holes in the plate that lie within the arm-area enclosed by the land;the disposition of the holes in the upstream plate, in relation to the disposition of the arm-area enclosed by the land, is such that, at one operational moment, most of the many holes in the upstream plate lie closed from the arm-area but lie open to a flow of liquid from the entry port, through the screen, and into the delivery chamber, and is such that, at the same moment, a few of the many holes in the upstream plate lie closed from the entry port but lie open to the arm-area;the arrangement of the apparatus is such that the arm-cavity is closed or sealed from the liquid in the entry port while being open to the holes in the upstream plate enclosed within the arm-area;whereby, as the upstream plate is swept by the arm, each of the holes in the upstream plate periodically lies enclosed within the arm-area and open to the arm-cavity;the apparatus includes a drain-passageway, which comprises a means for communicating the arm-cavity to a relatively low pressure drain, for conveyance of liquid away from the arm-cavity;the means for creating relative motion includes a means for configuring the arm as a rotor and the upstream plate as a stator;the means for creating relative motion includes a rotor guide-means, for guiding and constraining the rotor for rotary movement relative to a frame of the apparatus, and includes a means for preventing the stator from rotating relative to the frame;the means for creating relative motion includes a rotary drive-shaft;the means for creating relative motion includes a shaft guide-means, for guiding and constraining the drive-shaft for rotation relative to the frame;the means for creating relative motion includes a rotary drive-motor, for driving the drive-shaft;the means for creating relative motion includes a means for drive-coupling the drive-shaft to the rotor.
