The system also has a conveyor belt passed around and stretched between the first and second rollers for endless traveling. The system further includes a regulating member located at a position close to a first end of the first roller, opposite the first end of the second roller. The regulating member is in sliding contact with an end side of the conveyor belt only in a region where the conveyor belt is in contact with the first roller.
