Morphology
bolter = bolt (opaque) = bolt + er
The word is historically built from bolt + -er, but the relevant sense of bolt 'to sift' is archaic, so the meaning is not recoverable for most learners from the common modern sense of bolt.
Etymology
Bolter (flour sifter) comes from an old verb bolt that meant 'to sift' or 'pass through a cloth', so a bolter is the cloth or machine that separates fine flour from bran.
