Abstract
A particle discharge device for a filter assembly has a housing with a valve seat, wherein the valve seat surrounds at least partially a symmetry axis of the housing. One or more particle discharge flaps embodied as one piece together with the housing are provided. The one or more particle discharge flaps are movable from a closed state into an open state for discharging particles from the filter assembly. The one or more particle discharge flaps are resting against the valve seat in the closed state. A filter assembly is provided with a filter housing having a particle discharge socket in which the particle discharge device is arranged.
