Morphology

brick-molding + machine

The meaning 'an industrial machine that shapes and manufactures bricks' is directly derivable from the constituents: 'brick' (the product) + 'molding' (the process of shaping) + 'machine' (a device). This is a regular noun-modifier + machine compound pattern found cross-linguistically, so a B1 learner who knows the constituent words will readily infer the meaning.

Etymology

Brick-molding machine comes from a simple idea: wet clay is pressed into a mold to make a brick, so molding is the shaping and machine is the tool that does it. That's why the name means 'a machine that makes bricks'.
