Morphology
The noun phrase is directly compositional: 'blanching' names the process of briefly immersing vegetables in boiling water and 'machine' denotes a device, so together they mean a machine that performs blanching. This participle + noun pattern is a regular, cross-linguistic formation and is therefore immediately predictable to a learner who knows both constituents.
Etymology
Blanching machine comes from blanching, which means 'to boil or steam briefly' so food becomes paler and the skin loosens. So a blanching machine is a machine that does this quick boiling or steaming to clean and partly cook fruits and vegetables, and that is why the name means a device used to prepare produce before freezing or canning.
