1. A machine for separating a load (C) made up of several superimposed layers of packages (B) and supported by a pallet (P); said machine (1) comprising:
a base element (3) for placement on, or fixed to, a floor, surface or wall;
a base member (7) defining a respective plane configured to meet with a face of the pallet (P) opposite to the load (C);
a slide wall member (9) provided with a set of rollers (10) with respective rotation axes perpendicular to a sliding direction and defining a respective plane assigned to match in a slidable way with a lateral face of the load (C), wherein such sliding direction and plane are perpendicular to the base member (7);
a pivot pin (14) perpendicular to said sliding direction, parallel to the base member (7) and to the slide wall member (9) and placed therebetween and the base element (3) for enabling rotation of said base member (7) and slide wall member (9); and
a tilt actuator (15) interconnected between the base element (3) and said base member (7) and slide wall member (9) to rotate said base member (7) and slide wall member (9) around the pivot pin (14),
wherein the slide wall member (9) comprises at least one rotation member (21) provided with at least one motor or at least one gearmotor for motorized rotation of at least a subset of the rollers.
