Zusammenfassung:	Improvements in collection of brake dust from a disc brake assembly are disclosed. The brake assembly includes a rotor, a caliper, brake pads and a filter. The filter is disposed within a shroud which covers at least 70% of the distal side periphery on both sides of the brake rotor. The housing can encompass the brake caliper so that the amount of brake residue captured and the air flow recycled on the brake rotor can be maximized. The brake dust waste collector can incorporate one or more magnets within the air stream to collect heavy particles smaller than 40 nm that can fall from gravity or vibration. The filters collect particles larger than 40 nm as the air is forced through the housings. The air is forced out of the impeller housing and onto the rotor to aid in cooling of the braking system.
