PURPOSE: To correctly and continuously turn a packed rice cracker by shifting the packed rice cracker from the first belt to the second belt driven at higher speed to be sucked on the second belt without bending the posture.

CONSTITUTION: A transported article A transported on the first transport belt 2 is shifted to the second belt 3 driven at higher speed by the inertia force. At this time, the article is sucked above the second belt 3 through holes 5 mounted on the second belt 3, and a guide belt 4 is driven at the same speed as the second belt 3, so that the force of the transported article A shifted by the inertia force is absorbed by the guide belt 4, thereby preventing the transported article A from jumping out and turning the article toward the second belt 3 to be shifted. Thus, the article can be turned correctly and continuously.
