ABSTRACT:
In a contact-free plate conveyor including an arrangement of nozzles each having a cup-like shape widening to a planar rim thereof, air under pressure is supplied to the nozzles such that an air flow is generated toward and through a gap formed between the rims of the cups at high speed which generates a vacuum between the cup rims and the plate so as to hold the plate at a predetermined distance from the nozzle arrangement.
