A sheet conveyance apparatus configured to convey a sheet includes a casing, a belt unit, an accommodating unit, a moving unit, and a rotary member. The accommodating unit and the belt unit move to a first state, a second state, and a third state. In the first state, the accommodating unit is positioned at a closed position and the belt unit is positioned at a first position to convey the sheet by a conveyance belt. In the second state, the accommodating unit is positioned at an opening position and the belt unit is positioned at the first position to open a sheet conveyance path. In the third state, the accommodating unit is positioned at the opening position and the belt unit is positioned at a second position to allow the conveyance belt to attach to and detach from the belt unit.

A method for transporting an air-formed cellulose blank structure to a forming mould via a buffering module, includes the steps: continuously feeding the cellulose blank structure on a first endless belt unit in a first feeding direction, and redirecting the cellulose blank structure to a second endless belt unit; feeding the cellulose blank structure on the second endless belt unit in a second feeding direction being at least partly opposite the first feeding direction, where the second endless belt unit alternatingly is longitudinally moved in opposite directions relative to the first endless belt unit and a third endless belt unit, and redirecting the cellulose blank structure to the third endless belt unit; intermittently feeding the cellulose blank structure on the third endless belt unit in a third feeding direction at least partly coinciding with the first feeding direction.

An upper conveyor deck includes a plurality of belts each supported by an upstream end pulley and a downstream end pulley which belts are configured to be driven along a closed path having an interior such that a lower run of each of the belts travels in a downstream direction and an upper run of the each of the belt travels in an upstream direction. A first diversion pulley in the interior of at least one of the belts contacts the lower run of that belt, and a diversion guide outside the interior of the belt contacts the belt downstream from the first diversion pulley. A deflecting device at the first diversion pulley is configured to prevent scrap material from becoming pinched between the belt and the first diversion pulley.
