A device for filtering oil, including: a tank including an oil inlet and a cover; an at least one removable plate, inside the tank, that can be removed from the tank via the upper opening of the cover. The at least one plate removably receives filtering cartridges. The plate is hollow, forming a collector for the oil filtered by the cartridges of the plate. The plate includes an outlet for filtered oil removably connected to a corresponding outlet of the tank via a connector. The connection includes a first portion rigidly connected to the plate and a second portion rigidly connected to the tank, that are capable of mutually cooperating via a seal in order to provide a sealed connection between the oil outlet of the plate, and the corresponding outlet of the tank, and in order to allow maintenance operations to be performed without intervening in the tank.

The invention relates to a device (10) for separating a heterogeneous mixture of matter into at least one retentate and one filtrate, comprising a housing (12) which is subdivided into a chamber for the heterogeneous mixture (20) of matter having at least one feed (14) and a filtrate chamber (21) having at least one outlet (16), a filter unit (22) which comprises at least one filter element (24), wherein the filter unit (22) is arranged in the chamber for the heterogeneous mixture (20) of matter, and a rinsing system (46, 47, 50, 50′) for cleaning the filter unit (22),
wherein the rinsing system (46, 47, 50, 50′) has at least one rinsing port (46, 47) which is constructed so as to introduce a stream, oriented tangentially to the shell surface (54), of a first washing medium into the chamber for the heterogeneous mixture (20) of matter. The invention further relates to a method for cleaning a filter unit.
