Cuno filter

The registered trade name for a particular style of edge-type fluid filter. Cuno filters are made up of a stack of thin metal discs that are separated by thin scraper blades. Contaminants collect on the edge of the discs, and they are periodically scraped out and allowed to collect in the bottom of the filter case for future removal.
