German term

Profiliergeraet

German to English Tech/Engineering
The context is Schaumstoffindustrie (foam plastic industry).

Proposed translations

Selected

profiler, shaper

'profiling device' is a good general translation, but given the German penchant for precision and the (American) English penchant for informality, it could just be a profiler (depends on how formal your text is). I doubt that a rolling mill would be used directly for forming plastic. It could also be a shaper.

profiling equipment

porfilier means 'profiling' and Geraet can have different meanings but I think equipment or machine seems appropriate in the case.
My source is the Ernst Dictionary of Engineering and Technology

rollforming machine

I also found the word panformer, but the context is roofing. I hope the two websites will help.
