Abstract
A can compactor comprising a frame, a generally vertical anvil mounted in the frame, and a ram movable horizontally toward and away from said anvil. A guide is provided for guiding the cans for rolling movement toward the anvil. A stop is provided for a row of cans rolling toward the ram. Upon retraction of the ram a can is forced over the stop into the space between the anvil and the ram where it is retained between the anvil and the ram to permit the ram to be moved and thereby compact the can.
