Morphology

plastic + blow + molding + machine

The noun phrase is compositional: 'plastic' (material) + 'blow' (to force air/inflate) + 'molding' (forming in a mold) + 'machine' (device). A learner who knows these constituents can infer it is a machine that forms plastic by blowing/ inflating the material into a mold; although technical, the meaning follows regular English compound patterns and is therefore directly derivable.

Etymology

Plastic blow molding machine comes from a simple image: hot plastic is put into a mold and air is blown in so the plastic expands and takes the shape like a balloon, so the words blow and molding describe the making process. That's why it means 'a machine used to form hollow plastic objects by inflating heated plastic into a mold'.
