Morphology
The compound is directly compositional: 'blow' (using air to shape), 'molding' (forming in a mold) and 'machine' combine to mean a machine that molds by blowing. Although technical, the process-denoting structure is predictable and mirrored in other languages, so a learner who knows the constituents can infer the meaning.
Etymology
The compound noun blow molding machine is named for how it works: the machine heats plastic and then uses a blow of air to push the soft plastic into a molding, so it takes the 'shape' of the tool. That's why the term means 'a machine that makes hollow plastic objects by inflating heated plastic in a mold'.
