A carding machine includes a main cylinder having a direction of rotation, a licker-in cooperating with the main cylinder, travelling flats cooperating with the main cylinder, and a frontal end roller supporting the travelling flats. The end roller is situated above the licker-in at a distance therefrom as viewed circumferentially along the main cylinder. The distance has a mid-zone and two off-center zones flanking the mid-zone and adjoining the licker-in and the end roller, respectively. There is further provided a device for separating impurities from fiber material undergoing treatment by the main cylinder. The device has a knife blade supported at a small radial distance from the main cylinder and a plate supported at a small radial distance from the main cylinder and defining a gap with the knife blade. The gap is in the work zone of a suction chamber. The separating device is situated in one of the off-center zones.
