Abstract
An apparatus for rotating workpieces fed in a laid flat position, has a pair of conveyor belts which fixes the respective workpiece eccentrically at one point and moves it forward, and at least one carrier belt that runs parallel to the pair of conveyor belts. To permit a reliable introduction of the rotational movement, at least one suction belt is arranged between the pair of conveyor belts and the carrier belt, using which a part of the workpiece that is spaced from the fixed point can be suctionally attracted.
