Morphology

suction + blower

The compound combines 'suction' (force/act of creating a vacuum) with 'blower' (a machine that generates airflow), so the meaning—a device that uses suction and blowing action to move materials—is directly derivable from its parts. This straightforward noun‑noun composition follows normal English compounding patterns and would be understandable to a B1 learner who knows both constituent words.

Etymology

Suction blower names the two actions the machine does: suction (it 'sucks' or pulls air and grain in) and blower (it then blows or pushes the mix along). Think of a big vacuum and a fan working together to move grain through pipes, and that picture explains why the name means a device that moves material by pulling and blowing.
