Plastic Waste Processor Prototype

The Naval Surface Warfare Center Carderock Division (NSWCCD) is seeking information from potential sources on the fabrication of the Next Generation Plastic Waste Processor (PWP(X)). The PWP(X) is an auger-based compaction system that processes shipboard plastic waste through shredding, pressurizing, heating, and cooling, ultimately forming a densified log for disposal shoreside. • The system includes a waste hopper, shredder, dual-auger, heater, cooler, automated pressure mechanism, cutting mechanism, and product outfeed area. • The dimensions of the full prototype are approximately 9 ft (L) x 5.4 ft (W) x 6.5 ft (H). • Potential offerors are requested to respond with technical documentation showing their ability to fabricate/assemble the type of technology/system described above. • Information should include experience developing/fabricating mechanical systems, current commercial or military applications of similar systems, and specific applications in the marine environment.
