A filtering net, in particular for a rotary separator, has a plurality of cells, which are substantially equal to one another and are defined by the replication of a base cell along two transversal directions of replication; the base cell comprises at least one intermediate filament and a first and a second end filament, arranged on opposite sides of the intermediate filament; the intermediate filament and the end filaments extend along respective longitudinal axes which are parallel; cross-sectioning the base cell with any plane orthogonal to the longitudinal axes of the filaments and joining, on said plane, the trace of each longitudinal axis with the trace of the adjacent longitudinal axis by a respective straight line, the two straight lines are incident at the trace of the longitudinal axis of the intermediate filament and form an incidence angle of between approximately 90° and 160°.
