Abstract

A conveying apparatus for transporting sheets to a sheet processing machine, in particular a printing press, has a suction belt table between a sheet in-feed and the sheet-processing machine. A transport belt of the suction belt table is formed with at least two rows of suction openings that exert a holding force on the sheet. Ventilation openings that reduce a frictional force of the suction belt on the feed table are provided below the transport belt in a region between the rows of suction openings.
