It also covers parts of that machinery. The heading splits first by machine function (8474.10 sorting and washing, 8474.20 crushing and grinding, 8474.31 through 8474.39 mixing and kneading, 8474.80 other machinery) and then, inside some of those, by portable versus stationary build or by the material being mixed. Parts sit in 8474.90 and are split by the type of machine the part serves.
