Abstract
With respect to the object of providing a filter element with a sufficiently high filtration capacity and easy deformability, a filter element, comprising a first component (1), a second component (2) and a pleated filter medium (3) interposed between the components (1, 2), the components (1, 2) being disposed at a distance due to the filter medium (3), is characterized in that the filter element (3) is made of a non-woven fabric and pleated such that a distance between the components (1, 2) can be reversibly reduced, at least in some regions, when a force is applied.
