• an acquisition unit that acquires a weight value of the article stored in each of the plurality of hoppers;
• a control unit that performs combination calculation based on a plurality of the weight values acquired by the acquisition unit and discharges a combination of the articles having a preset target weight value from the hoppers;
• a discharge chute that receives the articles discharged from the hoppers, has a conveyance surface having a plurality of openings smaller than the article, and discharges the articles downstream while sliding the articles on the conveyance surface;
• and
• a moisture recovery mechanism that is disposed below the openings in the discharge chute and recovers moisture passing through the openings in the discharge chute from an inside to an outside of the conveyance surface and falling from the discharge chute.
