The invention is an apparatus for cleaning one or more cylindrical
filters. An enclosure contains the entire apparatus in which each filter
is supported on its own pair of rotating horizontal rollers. An assembly
of air nozzles adjacent to a first end of each rotating filter is moved
radially across the filter end to blow the particles out of the filter
and into a particle collector at the second end. A second assembly of air
nozzles at the second end then operates in a similar manner. The
positions of the air nozzles are manually adjusted for filters of
differing length. A simpler unit has only one assembly of air nozzles,
but requires manually reversing the position of the filter for the second
operation.
