The invention relates to a method and a device (10) for conveying flat elements (12) for the production of galvanic cells, wherein the method is carried out with the continuous movement of a flat element (12) in a direction of conveyance (14). In a pneumatic diverter (18) of the conveying device (10), by means of which the conveyance path (16; 22; 24) is vertically divided into two directions (22; 24), air nozzles (60; 62) are arranged both above and below guide belts (21; 23) which delimit a diverter region (18). The air nozzles (60; 62) produce an as narrow and wide an air flow (30; 31) as possible and push the flat element (12) onto one of the conveying belts (21; 23). In the upward switching direction, the air flow (30) of a lower nozzle (60) pushes the flat element (12) onto the underside of the upper conveying belt (21). In the downward switching direction, the air flow (31) of an upper nozzle (62) pushes the flat element (12) onto the upper side of the lower conveying belt (23). As soon as the flat element (12) has reached a wedging point at the diverter outlet, the air flow can be switched over. Therefore, no particular minimum distance between the flat elements (12) is necessary, because the switching operation does not have to wait for the flat element (12) to completely pass through.
