Zusammenfassung:An apparatus for filtering comprises an evacuation tube (404) comprising a filter, a long axis and a hollow conduit (406) extending through the long axis, the hollow conduit (406) fluidly connecting a tube inlet (130) and a tube outlet (132), the filter being located within the hollow conduit (406) and operable to remove particles from a flow passing through the hollow conduit (406) from the tube inlet (130) to the tube outlet (132). The filter may comprise a plurality of filter flaps (410) spaced apart along the long axis of the conduit (406). Each one of the plurality of filter flaps (410) have a first portion (412) fixedly hingedly attached to an interior wall (408) of the conduit (406) and a second portion (414) removably attached to an interior wall (408) of the conduit (406). Each one of the plurality of filter flaps (410) are operable to move from first state (416) substantially obstructing a flow through the conduit (406) to a folded second state (418) substantially not obstructing a flow.
