Industry Application
Marine and Shipbuilding
Marine diesel and lubricating oil systems run continuously and cannot wait on a branded spare. Wodong builds the element itself, in stainless steel wire mesh, as an equivalent replacement for automatic filters already on board.

The Problem
Industry Pain Points And What Buyers Actually Need
Pain Points
- Automatic filter elements are on long lead time and the vessel is already alongside
- Paper and felt elements are scrapped every service instead of being cleaned
- One vessel carries several element families at once, from candle inserts to disc packs
- Lubricating oil cleanliness drops and the diesel engine is the part that pays for it
Customer Requirements
- Elements with equivalent quality to the original for the automatic filter already fitted
- Stainless steel mesh media that survives cleaning and goes back into service
- One supplier covering candle, basket, ring, multi mantle, star pleated, cartridge and disc types
- Production from the sample or drawing when the original part number is no longer traceable
Application Scenarios
Where These Parts Are Used
Marine diesel system
Candle filter elements filter particulate contaminants and solids in diesel systems with an outside to inside flow direction and a 10 to 150 micron rating.
Vessel engine lubrication
Oil lubrication disc filters improve the cleanliness of the oil, work up to 95°C and 0.8Mpa and are cleaned and refitted rather than discarded.
Automatic filter refits
Marine filter elements are produced as replacements for different types of automatic filter, in basket, ring, multi mantle, star pleated, cartridge, candle insert and disc constructions.
Ship making fabrication
Wire mesh discs are used in ship making along with oil filtration and metallurgy, cut to any shape and size.
