PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a compact blending apparatus wherein granular and/or powdery substance to be blended can be easily replaced. SOLUTION: The blending apparatus is constituted of a plurality of hoppers 1 for separately storing individual granular and/or powdery substances, a plurality of raw material feeders 2 each attached to each one of the hoppers 1 for taking out the granular and/or powdery substances stored in the hoppers 1, a roughly rectangular parallelepiped measuring container 3 with a top face opening into which the granular and/or powdery substances taken out of the hoppers 1 by the raw material feeders 2 are fed, a measuring means for measuring the weight of the granular and/or powdery substance fed into the measuring container 3, a means for conveying a granular and/or powdery substance whose weight has been measured by the measuring means that discharges the granular and/or powdery substance from the measuring container 3, a blending container 4 into which a granular and/or powdery substance discharged from the measuring container 3 by the means for conveying a granular and/or powdery substance whose weight has been measured are fed. All of the discharge ports 21 each installed at the end of each one of the raw material feeders 2 for removing granular and/or powdery substances remaining therein are disposed so as to face the same direction.
