A compacting machine comprising a compaction chamber (1) connected to introduction means (11) arranged to forcedly introduce a predetermined quantity of material to be compacted into the compaction chamber (1) by conferring on said material a substantially rotary movement, wherein said compaction chamber (1):
- comprises at least one plate (2) made to rotate about an axis perpendicular to the plate (2) and arranged to at least partly close said compaction chamber (1) laterally;
- said compaction chamber is substantially cylindrical,
- said compaction chamber has two substantially circular end walls, one of said substantially circular end walls positioned adjacent to an outer surface of the at least one plate,
- said compaction chamber has a lateral surface defined by longitudinally disposed perimetral rollers (3), each perimetral roller (3) being rotatable about its axis, said perimetral rollers mounted to said two substantially circular end walls, and
- wherein said plate (2) presents a circular shape, the edge of said plate (2) engages in engagement grooves (4) provided at the ends of said perimetral rollers (3) in correspondence with at least one of said substantially circular end walls of said compaction chamber (1).
