A device for emptying a flexible bag comprising a fluid product, comprising a tray including a base having at least a top flat surface and two side members rigidly mounted on the base, perpendicularly to the base, the base being arranged substantially horizontally, namely along a front-rear direction and a left-right direction, a pressure element having at least a flat bottom face, for pressing downwards on a flexible bag under the influence of gravity. The tray includes guiding means for guiding the pressure element, as it goes downwards when the bag is emptying. The pressure element exhibits a gravity center and a geometric center, the gravity center being away from the geometric center.
