Waste-tape transport device and mounting device

A waste-tape transport device used in a mounting device including a component supply section configured to supply a component from a tape member accommodating multiple components, and a mounting section configured to pick up the supplied component, the waste-tape transport device comprising:

• a waste-tape transport section configured to transport a waste-tape member cut after the component is picked up by placing the waste-tape member on a transport surface and deliver the waste-tape member to a waste-tape transport device adjacent in a transport direction of the waste-tape member or a waste-tape collection section;
• a blowing section configured to blow gas in a direction along the transport direction onto a transport surface on a lower surface side of the waste-tape transport section;
• a removal plate disposed on a lower surface side of a transport surface of a downstream side end portion in the transport direction of the waste-tape transport section and contacting the transport surface to remove the waste-tape member;
• and
• a prevention plate disposed on an upper surface side of a transport surface of an upstream side end portion in the transport direction of an adjacent waste-tape transport section and contacting the transport surface to prevent the waste-tape member from entering,
• wherein the blowing section is disposed between the removal plate and the prevention plate, and
• wherein the blowing section is bonded to the removal plate and the prevention plate.
