A conveyor for an endless, closed-loop conveyor belt (1), which is flexible transverse to its extension, has a guide (11) keeping conveyor belt on a substantially rectilinear main path (3) and on a generally perpendicular branch. A branch device (9) is movable along the main path. There the belt takes two branch paths (19, 20), both parallel with a branch line (26) which is generally transverse to the main path. The branch device (9) comprises two first deflection rollers (14, 23), which are offset in opposite directions laterally from the main path (3). The axes of the two deflection rollers are each perpendicular to a respective deflection plane. Each deflection plance passes through the center of the respective deflection rollers and intersects the main path and the respective branch paths (19, 20) at respective distances from the deflection rollers.
