Vitamix 3600 Specifications
The Vitamix company has been producing high-powered blenders since 1937. The Vitamix 3600 was a model released in 1969. While Vitamix has discontinued production of the 3600, parts and service are still available via its website, though in recent years it has begun to offer reconditioned parts alongside newly manufactured ones. The Vitamix 3600 can effectively grind fruits, seeds and grains for flour. It can also make hot soups by the friction of the blades.
Action Dome Assembly
The dome on the Vitamix 3600 is designed to securely seal the container, while the action-dome tube allows users to tamp down contents for better blending. The dome assembly is made of polycarbonate plastic and heavy rubber and comes equipped with patented action-dome clips for added security. The dome assembly is attached to an action-dome seal, an industrial rubber washer-like seal that prevents spillage.
