Abstract
A belt transport system for conveying thin sheet material, in which the sheet material is engaged by one side of a conveyor belt and one side of at least one baffle plate and conveyed in a clamped state through a clamping area. The system includes smoothing elements having smoothing surfaces disposed on the opposite side of the belt from the sheet side, the smoothing elements being disposed in such a way that bent parts or dog-ears of the sheet material protruding beyond the conveyor belt to its opposite side run into the smoothing element during transport and are thereby urged away from the clamping area of the belt.
