Morphology
The compound combines 'roller' (a cylinder that flattens or moves material) with 'ironer' (a device that smooths fabric), so its meaning—a machine that irons using a large heated roller—is directly inferable from the parts. This noun+noun compounding follows a transparent, cross-linguistic composition pattern and would be understandable to a B1 learner who knows both constituent words.
Etymology
Roller ironer names a machine that uses a large, heated roller to press and dry sheets and table linens. The parts are literal: the roller turns and the ironer part means it 'irons' the cloth, so the name simply says it smooths and dries linen quickly.
