Is there a way to smooth out the Path Deform Conveyor Belt?

[stusic]

Is there a way to smooth out the particles created when animating particles based off a Path Deform object? Just like the anomalies created in the "tyflow_conveyorBelt" sample file (see screenshot).

I'm trying to recreate this, but the bumpiness of the belt particles makes my conveyed particles (soda cans) not stand straight...

I appreciate any help!

Thanks,
