A peeling device for peeling off a sheet-like recording medium that is conveyed while adhering to a surface of a rotating member that rotates, from the rotating member, includes a peeling guide plate one side of which is close to a surface of the rotating member in a region where the surface of the rotating member advances while curving in the rotating direction, or on a downstream side of the region and which is disposed in a rotating direction of the rotating member, and an edge surface of the peeling guide plate including at least one convex portion. An air jetting unit jets a pulsed compressed air toward a gap between the surface of the rotating member and the one side of the peeling guide plate that is from a region interposed between the surface of the rotating member and the surface of the peeling guide plate that faces the surface of the rotating member.

An image forming apparatus having an image carrier, a circularly driven intermediate transfer member and a transfer fixation device. The transfer fixation device includes a fixed pad, a pressure roll, a heating device and a corrugation suppression member. The fixed pad is brought into contact with an inner peripheral surface of the intermediate transfer member. The pressure roll is pressed against the fixed pad through the intermediate transfer member being interposed therebetween. The heating device for heating and melting the toner on the intermediate transfer member is located at an upstream side of a contact position of the fixed pad in a movement direction of the intermediate transfer member. The corrugation suppressing member provided along the inner peripheral surface of the intermediate transfer member in its circumferential direction is located between a position where the heating device is provided and a position where the fixed pad is provided.

A heating rotator that is used for heating a developer on a recording medium has a cylindrical body that is made of a metal and both end portions of the cylindrical body is rotatably supported. The cylindrical body has a thick-walled portion at both end portions that is thicker than a center portion in an axial direction of the cylindrical body, and a cross-sectional shape of the heating rotator changes from the end portions toward the center portion in a pressure area of an outer peripheral surface to which pressure is applied by a pressure rotator.
