Regular agentive formation from 'reload' + '-er', describing a machine that refills supplies.

Etymology

Reloader comes from the parts re- and load, where re- means 'again' and load means 'to put in'. So a machine called a reloader 'puts in' cartridges or supplies again to keep a production line or equipment running without stopping.
