To provide a residue removal device on transfer equipment of a melting particulate matter for preventing operation of the transfer equipment from being interfered by a conveyed object, if the conveyed object is the particulate matter of a frozen substance, which falls from a transfer section of the transfer equipment and remains thereon in a form of a residue.
A residue removal device 10, which has a housing body 10a where thermic fluid is circulated therein or an electric heater is stored therein, is installed at a bottom section of a casing 13 of a bucket conveyor 11 as transfer equipment. A conveyed object m which is not loaded into a bucket 12a falls on the bottom section of the casing 13. If the conveyed object m is a particulate matter which can be melted with heat, for example a GH pellet, the GH pellet on the bottom section of the casing 13 is melted when a peripheral section of the housing 10a is warmed by heating the housing 10a with circulation of the thermic fluid or power distribution to the electric heater in the housing 10a. Condensed water is discharged through the casing 13.
