Machinery and mechanical appliances offer a wide range of uses. Thus, customers must know how to distinguish the three different types of appliances to make a successful and fitting purchase. Take a look at their varying functions down below.
To start, major appliances are mainly used in construction, textile, packing, chemical, and mining industries since they are bulky and not portable. Most of them require electrical connections and are used for housekeeping chores like cooking, doing dishes, washing laundry, and preserving food. Some well-known products include refrigerators, air conditioners, washing machines, heaters, and underfloor heating systems.
On the other hand, small appliances, also known as small industrial appliances, are portable or semi-portable machines that are generally used to facilitate daily work. Examples include metal processing machinery, agricultural machinery, farm machinery for milking, food, and beverages, shipping tapes, oil mill machinery, oilseed extraction equipment, and more.
Lastly, heavy appliances refer to heavy-duty vehicles and are specifically designed for construction tasks. They are also known as heavy machines, heavy trucks, construction equipment, engineering equipment, heavy vehicles, or heavy hydraulics. They are usually comprised of five equipment systems: implement, traction, structure, power train, control, and information. Heavy equipment also has the mechanical advantage of a simple machine, and the ratio between the input force applied and force exerted is multiplied. Some even use hydraulic drives as their primary source of motion.
