A circular knitting machine with a carrier ( 1 ) for knitting tools ( 2 ) and a cam housing ( 8 ) is described, the cam housing ( 8 ) being sub-divided into a plurality of segments ( 8 a , 8 b , 8 c) which are adjacent in the circumferential direction and bear needle cams ( 9 ). According to the invention, the circular knitting machine has a dust removal device which contains air distribution channels ( 23 ) which are configured in the segments and are connected to a compressed air source via radial air supply channels ( 24 ). The air distribution channels ( 23 ) discharge into radial gaps ( 22 ) which are present between the segments and are sealed outwardly with sealing means ( 30 ) (FIG. 5 ).
