Morphology
The phrase is fully compositional: 'indented' describes a cylinder with depressions, 'cylinder' names the shape, and 'separator' denotes a machine that separates. Together they literally describe a machine that separates using an indented cylinder, a straightforward descriptive compound that a B1 learner who knows the constituents can infer.
Etymology
Indented cylinder separator is named for how it works: a turning cylinder with small indented grooves that catch longer grains while shorter or broken ones fall through, so the machine 'separates' kernels by length. That's why the name refers to a device used to sort and grade grain.
