A web manufacturing apparatus includes a defibration section that includes a rotating blade and is configured to defibrate a material containing fiber, a detection section configured to detect an electric charge amount of a defibrated material obtained by the defibration section, and a control section configured to control operation of the defibration section. The control section includes a first mode in which a revolution speed of the rotating blade is set based on a detection result of the detection section.

A raw material supply device includes a transport section that transports a raw material containing fibers and supplies the raw material to a processing section that processes the raw material, a stopper that blocks transport of a portion of the raw material transported by the transport section; and a controller that controls an operation of the stopper to adjust a supply amount of the raw material to the processing section. Further, it is preferable that the raw material supply device further includes a fixed-amount supply section that intermittently supplies the raw material transported by the transport section to the processing section by a first amount.
