Morphology
The noun combines 'bun' (a small bread roll) with 'divider' (a device or agent that separates or portions), so its basic meaning—a device that portions dough for buns—is directly derivable from the parts. While the precise industrial details (rolling into uniform balls) are specialized, a B1 learner who knows both constituents would readily infer the core function.
Etymology
Bun divider is a plain name for a machine that divides dough into equal buns and often rolls them into balls. So it simply means 'a machine that cuts and portions dough to make identical rolls'.
