Morphology
deflavorizing + machine
The phrase is fully compositional: 'deflavorizing' is transparently analyzable as de- (remove) + flavor + -ize/-ing (removal/process), so combined with 'machine' it straightforwardly means a machine that removes or reduces flavor. Even though the specific verb is rare, the prefix 'de-' and the noun 'flavor' make the meaning predictable to learners who know those constituents, so the MWE is clearly interpretable without prior exposure.
Etymology
Deflavorizing machine is a simple name for a machine that removes flavor. Imagine food going through a device that washes away strong tastes so what comes out is neutral, and that's why it means 'a device used to remove or reduce flavors'.
