NATO Supply Class 3680 is a classification within NATO Supply Group 36, which is dedicated to Special Industry Machinery. Specifically, Class 3680 focuses on Foundry Machinery, Related Equipment, and Supplies.

Foundry machinery refers to the equipment and machinery used in the process of casting metal into desired shapes. This can include various types of machinery such as molding machines, melting furnaces, sand mixers, core shooters, and shakeout machines.

Related equipment and supplies in this class pertain to the tools, accessories, and materials used in foundry operations. This can include items like crucibles, ladles, sand molds, refractory materials, and other consumables necessary for the casting process.

The purpose of NATO Supply Class 3680 is to provide a standardized classification system for foundry machinery and related equipment and supplies. This classification helps in the procurement and management of these items within NATO member countries.

By categorizing foundry machinery and related equipment and supplies under Class 3680, it becomes easier for NATO member countries to identify, procure, and exchange these items for their respective foundry operations. This classification system promotes interoperability and standardization among NATO member countries in the field of foundry machinery and supplies.

It is important to note that this classification system is specific to NATO member countries and is used primarily for military purposes. However, it can also be used as a reference for non-military organizations or industries involved in foundry operations.
