A device 10 for generating an output flow of articles, starting from a flow of incoming articles having a given advancing velocity, includes a screw conveyor to receive longitudinally the flow of incoming articles. The conveyor in question comprises at least one screw the helix of which is susceptible to interact with the advancing of articles to determine their conveying by the screw itself. The rotational velocity of the screw is adjustable for varying the conveying velocity of the articles with respect to the initial advancing velocity. In particular, it is possible to act so that the conveying velocity of the articles by the screw is a sub-multiple of the initial advancing velocity so that the output flow of articles includes groups of stacked articles. Each group includes a number of articles equal to the ratio between the initial advancing velocity and the conveying velocity of the screw.
