Side-channel machine, comprising a) a housing, b) a substantially annular side channel, which is located in the housing, for guiding a gas, c) at least one gas inlet nozzle, d) at least one gas inlet opening which is connected in terms of flow to the side channel, is formed in the housing and serves for guiding the gas out of the at least one gas inlet nozzle into the side channel, e) at least one gas outlet opening, which is arranged in the housing, for removing the gas from the side channel, f) at least one gas outlet nozzle adjoining the at least one gas outlet opening, g) an impeller which is rotatable in the housing about an axis of rotation and has impeller vanes which are arranged in the side channel, delimiting impeller cells and therefore conveying the gas, which is located in the impeller cells, in the side channel from the at least one gas inlet opening to the at least one gas outlet opening, h) at least on interrupter (39e; 39f) which is arranged between the at least one gas inlet opening and the at least one gas outlet opening and serves for preventing transport of the gas from the at least one gas outlet opening to the at least one gas inlet opening, and i) at least one removal channel (43e; 43f) in the at least one interrupter (39e; 39f) for removing the gas enclosed in at least one of the impeller cells directly adjacent to the at least one removal channel (43e; 43f) from the side channel, characterized in that the removal channel guides the gas into the at least one gas outlet nozzle, and in that there is at least one venturi arrangement for sucking the gas enclosed in at least one of the impellers cells directly adjacent to the at least one removal channel (43e; 43f) from the side channel into the at least one gas outlet nozzle via the at least one removal channel (43e; 43f). a) a housing, b) a substantially annular side channel, which is located in the housing, for guiding a gas, c) at least one gas inlet nozzle, d) at least one gas inlet opening which is connected in terms of flow to the side channel, is formed in the housing and serves for guiding the gas out of the at least one gas inlet nozzle into the side channel, e) at least one gas outlet opening, which is arranged in the housing, for removing the gas from the side channel, f) at least one gas outlet nozzle adjoining the at least one gas outlet opening, g) an impeller which is rotatable in the housing about an axis of rotation and has impeller vanes which are arranged in the side channel, delimiting impeller cells and therefore conveying the gas, which is located in the impeller cells, in the side channel from the at least one gas inlet opening to the at least one gas outlet opening, h) at least on interrupter (39e; 39f) which is arranged between the at least one gas inlet opening and the at least one gas outlet opening and serves for preventing transport of the gas from the at least one gas outlet opening to the at least one gas inlet opening, and i) at least one removal channel (43e; 43f) in the at least one interrupter (39e; 39f) for removing the gas enclosed in at least one of the impeller cells directly adjacent to the at least one removal channel (43e; 43f) from the side channel,
