Lindstrom found that in “average-use situations" the
Sentinel EPE recycler could process 200 pounds of plastic per
hour.
Lindstrom observed a Sentinel EPE recycler in operation at
PI, and he was allowed to take photographs of it and examine its
blueprints. Based on his observations and study, Lindstrom
estimated that the manufacturing cost of the Sentinel EPE
recycler was approximately $20,000. Lindstrom concluded that the
market value of the Sentinel EPE recycler did not exceed $50,000.
Lindstrom also reported that information was available in
1981 regarding state-of-the-art foamed plastic recycling
machines. Lindstrom described several approaches that might have
been taken by a layman of average intelligence to obtain such
information, even in a small town library.
