Abstract: A slit device including a first transport section which transports a web in a transport direction while nipping the web, a second transport section which is disposed in parallel with a direction intersecting the transport direction of the first transport section and which transports the web in the transport direction while nipping the web, and a cutting section which is disposed between the first transport section and the second transport section in a direction intersecting the transport direction and which cuts the web along the transport direction, in which a cutting position at which the web is cut by the cutting section is a position within a nipping area where the first transport section nips the web along the transport direction, or is a position downstream of the nipping area in the transport direction.

Abstract: A web forming section that deposits a mixture including a defibrated object and a resin on a mesh body and that forms a web; a transport section that transports the web from the mesh body; and an eliminating section that eliminates, by using an airflow, the mixture remaining on the mesh body after the web is transported by the transport section are provided. The eliminating section generates the airflow.

Abstract: A sheet manufacturing apparatus includes a transport section configured to transport a sheet made of a material containing fiber and a control section configured to control operation of the transport section. The transport section includes a first roller and a second roller which is disposed downstream of and separately from the first roller in a transport direction of the sheet and which is rotationally driven. The control section is configured to adjust a rotation speed of the second roller in accordance with a manufacturing condition of the sheet.
