To WHICH PLASTIC RESIDUES ADHERE An apparatus for cleaning those components or parts of plastics processing machinery to which plastic residues adhere consist of an air-tight and closeable container which accommodates the components. The container has a heating system for raising a thermal medium to a temperature above the melting point of the plastic residue. The container can be tilted about a horizontal axis between a horizontal charging position and an upright operating position.
