Makina ofukizira amatengera zinthu zonse zosapanga dzimbiri, mawonekedwe owoneka bwino, kapangidwe koyenera komanso ukadaulo wapamwamba kwambiri. Kuyika njira kumatambalala chakudya chodyetsa chipangizocho. Kanema wapulasitiki mu cylinder filimu kuti apange chubu, mumphepete mwa chipangizo chopindika chopindika, ndikuyika m'thumba nthawi yomweyo, njira yosindikiza yowerengera zithunzi ndi udindo.

Mfundo yogwiritsira ntchito makina ofukizira ndikuti filimuyo idzakhala mu chipangizo chonyamula, kuwongolera ndi chipangizo chowongolera chojambulidwa mu kanema wokutidwa ndi cylindrical pamwamba podzaza. Ndi chipangizo cha kutentha chosindikizira * cholumikizidwa mu gawo la ma cylindrical choyambirira cha filimu, pigree chubu chopindika, filimu ya tuber kenako ndikusunthira kwa makina osindikizira, chubu. Chipangizo choyezera kuti muyeze chinthucho, kudzera mu chubu chodzaza ndi chikho, kenako kumbali ya kutentha ndi kutentha kwa chitsimikizo cha kudula kuti apange chidindo chotsatira cha mbiya.

Makina ofutirira omwe amayenda amagwiritsidwa ntchito kwambiri m'moyo watsiku ndi tsiku. Ndioyenera kuyika ufa wosiyanasiyana, tinthu tating'onoting'ono, mapiritsi ndi zinthu zina. Makina ofukula mapepala ndi makina ena kuposa momwe mulipo m'makalasi operekera mu thumba lopanga mkati mwa makina apakati, kupanga thumba, zinthu zapamwamba mpaka kutsogolo.

Makina ofukizira amapangidwa makamaka ndi chipangizo chophatikizira, makina ophatikizidwa, chipangizo chopingasa komanso cholumikizira, ndikuthira mkaka ndi kudyetsa mafilimu ndi zina. Njira yolumikizira makina opanga: makina ofukula ndi njira yapamwamba yoyenga, makina ofukizira, mapesi, mapesi, komanso mafuta am'madzi. Amadziwika ndi Cylinder Yothandizira Yopangidwa Mbali yamkati ya Thupi Lopanga Makina, thumba kupanga ndi kudzaza zida kuchokera pamwamba mpaka pansi
