Summary:The invention relates to a method for cleaning a filter which consists of several separately formed, disc-shaped filter elements (5) which are arranged in a container (2) on a hollow shaft (3) rotating by means of a rotary drive (4), wherein in a first step after the filtration, the filter is opened by displacement of at least one of the filter elements (5), so that the filtered, first medium present at least partly in the liquid state, can flow out of the filter, that in a second step, the filter elements (5) are heated by means of a heating device (7) and dried so that the residue of the first medium can be evaporated and removed from the container (2), and that in a third step, the filter elements (5) located in the container (2) are vacuumed by means of a vacuuming device (8) to remove particles.  Furthermore, the invention relates to a filter apparatus for implementing the method.
