Morphology
calcinator = calcinate (transparent) = calcinate + or
Formed from the verb 'calcinate' plus an agentive suffix meaning 'one that performs or causes calcination'; the composition is clear though it's technical vocabulary.
Etymology
Calcinator comes from the Latin root calx 'lime' and the verb calcinare 'to burn into lime', which gives the image of turning something into lime by heat. So, a calcinator is a chemical added to help a substance change into oxides when it is heated.
