Abstract: The invention relates to a belt band conveyor such as a curved belt conveyor having an endless transport belt that is guided over deflection rollers. There is a guide element that projects beyond the belt plane wherein this guide element can be handled separately before it is attached to the transport belt. This guide element moves along as the transport belt moves, and on whose guide surfaces, which extend in the transport direction of the transport belt has running surfaces that are inclined relative to the belt plane roll off from rotating guide rollers as the transport belt moves. Thus, lateral forces that occur crosswise to the transport direction of the transport belt can be compensated. A plurality of separate guide shoes are attached to the transport belt, forming a guide strip for the guide rollers that extends in the transport direction, circulates, and is divided into multiple parts.
