Effluent filtration of a washing machine through a helical brush

Abstract

A filter for effluent of washing machines includes a helical flow channel. A brush extends along the flow channel and is contained within a filter tube. The brush may be replaced, while the filter tube may be reused with a new brush. The brush and the filter tube capture fibers and particles such as microplasics, when effluent is fed through the flow channel. A support unit may at least partially define a cross section of the flow channel. In an mebodiment the support unit is detachably arranged in a housing of a filter module.
