The invention relates to a method and a device for operating a screen wheel filter for highly viscous melts having pressures >10 bar and temperatures >90° C. which shall be further developed in such a way that less of the highly viscous melt is wasted and that the operation of the screen wheel filter can be made more economical. For this purpose the screen wheel ( 3 ) according to the invention is rotationally driven at least one complete revolution, with respect to one of the screen inserts ( 12 ) located in the melt channel ( 10 ), before the particular screen insert ( 12 ) is replaced and/or backflushed, and wherein the drive speed and drive cycling for the screen wheel ( 3 ) are set in dependence on the thermal or oxidative decomposition behavior of the particular melt in such a way that, when the particular screen insert ( 12 ) reenters the melt channel ( 10 ) of the screen wheel filter ( 1 ), the melt remaining in the particular screen insert ( 12 ) has experienced thermal decomposition or oxidative decomposition of ≦3% cleaved molecular chains, preferably ≦1% cleaved molecular chains.
