Multipart de-stacker wheel for a denester, where said de-stacker wheel comprises: - a wheel member having a first circular cylinder shape provided with a central cavity extending axially through the wheel member , where the central cavity is suitable to accommodate a rotating axle where the wheel member has a top side, - at least one stack carrying member having a carrying surface, where the stack carrying member is arranged on the wheel member covering a first part of the top side and extends away from the wheel member substantially perpendicular to a rotation axis (X) of said wheel member , - a separation member having a wedge shape, where a height of a first end of said separation member is smaller than a height of a second end of said separation member , where the separation member is attached to the top side on the wheel member covering a second part of the top side and where the separation member or part of the separation member extends away from the wheel member substantially perpendicular to the rotation axis (X) of said wheel member , where the second end of said separation member is adjacent to a first end of said stack carrying member , where the first end of said separation member is displaced relative to a second end of said stack carrying member , away from the top side of said stack carrying member , providing a slit between the first end of said separation member and the second end of said stack carrying member so when said multipart de-stacker wheel rotates about the axis (X) of said wheel member , parallel to a stack of containers , where each container has a flange along its perimeter, the containers are de-stacked one by one, when the separation member comes in contact with the flange of said container, and by means of the wedge shaped separation member forces said container away from the stack of containers. - a wheel member having a first circular cylinder shape provided with a central cavity extending axially through the wheel member , where the central cavity is suitable to accommodate a rotating axle where the wheel member has a top side, - at least one stack carrying member having a carrying surface, where the stack carrying member is arranged on the wheel member covering a first part of the top side and extends away from the wheel member substantially perpendicular to a rotation axis (X) of said wheel member , - a separation member having a wedge shape, where a height of a first end of said separation member is smaller than a height of a second end of said separation member , where the separation member is attached to the top side on the wheel member covering a second part of the top side and where the separation member or part of the separation member extends away from the wheel member substantially perpendicular to the rotation axis (X) of said wheel member , where the second end of said separation member is adjacent to a first end of said stack carrying member , where the first end of said separation member is displaced relative to a second end of said stack carrying member , away from the top side of said stack carrying member , providing a slit between the first end of said separation member and the second end of said stack carrying member <EOS>
