The invention relates to the conveyance and preferably also to the electrical contacting of an item to be treated (), for example in the form of a printed circuit board or a conductor foil, in an electrolysis system. A device according to the invention comprises a large number of clamps () able to move along a conveyance path () and driven by a continuously revolving drive means (). The device is configured in such a way that the clamps () at the start () of the conveyance path () are brought from an open state into a closed state in order to grip and preferably also electrically to contact the item to be treated, and that the clamps () respectively at the end () of the conveyance path () are brought from the closed into the open state in order to re-release the item to be treated (). For this purpose, the clamps () comprise a first clamping surface (), arranged on one side of a conveyance plane (), and a second clamping surface (), arranged on the opposing side of the conveyance plane (). The clamps () are configured in such a way that both the first clamping surface () and the second clamping surface () are movable with respect to the conveyance plane () in order to open or close the clamp ().
