A compactor or baling machine as disclosed for compacting loose materials such as paper, plastic sheeting, rags and the like. The compactor includes a housing having an access door and a transverse platen located in the housing. Guide means are provided to guide the movement of the platen along a longitudinal path from a retracted position to an extended position. An actuator is located in the housing beside and parallel to the path of movement of the platen, the actuator having a first end attached to the housing and a second opposed end attached to the platen. Optional latch and interlock means automatically operate the platen and prevent the access door from opening unless the platen is stationary or in a retracted and safe position.
