1 hr confidence:

Rack to conveyor transfer machine

Explanation:
I'm afraid there is no specific name in English for the machine.
déclayeur obviously is made from de word "claie" claie de fromage = cheese tray or as you say cheese rack.
This "déclayeur" as I understand it is a machine that takes out the cheese from the rack/tray and places it on a conveyor.
So I would say: Rack to conveyor transfer machine or Tray to conveyor transfer machine.

Good luck!

Explanation:
I'm basically guessing after taking a look at a photo of the machine in question. This doesn't seem to have been documented before so you get the opportunity to cin the term. Good luck.
