A device as described for unstacking thin, flat articles, particularly flexible articles, and especially tortillas, from a stack of the same, which includes means for repetitively picking up the topmost tortilla in a stack and conveying it to a moving belt where it is deposited individually and separately and moved to a further processing operation. The pick up means includes a rotating cylinder having holes in its surface through which suction acts on the tortillas, to temporarily hold them to the cylinder, and belts around and rotating with the cylinder which transfer the tortillas from the cylinder to the moving conveyor.
