The invention relates to a device for separating solid materials out of liquids or gases and for discharging solid material. The device comprises a pressurised container and at least one filter element, the at least one filter element being arranged in a flexible container which is arranged in the pressurised container and is sealed tightly relative thereto. The pressurised container comprises at least one outlet for discharging the solid material and the flexible container comprises at least one discharge connection, the discharge connection of the flexible container being guided through the outlet of the pressurised container and sealed tightly relative to the pressurised container. In this case the outlet and the discharge connection of the flexible container can be closed and sealed by means of a closure mechanism relative to the environment outside the flexible container and the pressurised container.

A filter element for cleaning an operating liquid of a machine tool is provided with a pressure-stable jacket permitting flow therethrough. A filter medium is arranged in the pressure-stable jacket. A first end disc and a second end disc are seal-tightly connected to opposite ends of the filter medium. The filter medium surrounds an inner raw-side cavity. The pressure-stable jacket surrounds the filter medium and is connected fixedly to the first and second end discs. The first end disc has an inlet opening for the operating liquid. The second end disc has a drainage opening provided with a releasable closure element that closes the drainage opening.
