A sludge condensing machine is provided with a gravity filtration section (14) for gravity filtering sludge while conveying the sludge on the upper surface of a traveling filtration body (12). A movement mechanism (16) is provided downstream of the sludge insertion position (A) of the gravity filtration section (14), and the movement mechanism (16) reduces the dimension, in the width direction, of the sludge on the filtration body (12) by moving the sludge in the direction intersecting the direction in which the sludge is conveyed by the filtration body (12). The movement mechanism (16) has, for example, screws (24a, 24b) extending in the direction intersecting the direction in which the sludge is conveyed by the filtration body (12), and the movement mechanism (16) is configured so that the sludge is moved by the rotation of the screws (24a, 24b). |
