Abstract
The destacker apparatus (1), comprises: a succession of conveyors (10, 11, 12) arranged inclined relative to the horizon, each comprising a mobile surface (S) for receiving and supporting articles (J, K) carried upwards by the conveyors (10, 11, 12); and a device for varying the pressure of a fluid (2). The surface (S) of the conveyors (10, 11, 12) has through holes and the pressure varying device (2) is fluid dynamically connected to this surface (S).

A destacker apparatus (1), comprising:
- a succession of conveyors (10, 11, 12) arranged inclined relative to the horizon, each comprising an inclined mobile surface (S) for receiving and supporting articles (J, K) carried upwards by the conveyors (10, 11, 12);
- and
- at least one device for varying the pressure of a fluid (2);
- wherein the mobile surface (S) of a first one of the conveyors (10, 11, 12) is a first mobile surface (S) and has through holes and wherein the pressure varying device (2) is fluid dynamically connectable to said first mobile surface (S) and is effective (a) to provide sufficient negative pressure to prevent some of said articles (J, K) from sliding backward down the first mobile surface (S) and (b) to provide negative pressure to a plurality of said articles (J, K) simultaneously.
