In vehicles moving at relatively high speed, air movement around a brake assembly makes it very difficult to collect particulate matter created during braking. It might be expected to surround such disc brake assemblies with a vessel to prevent the particulates from being lost. However, it is conventional wisdom that this would risk overheating of the disc brakes, by virtue of their primary means of cooling being prevented; namely the passage of air thereover. The present invention provides a first fan 11 for introducing air into the vessel 7 and a second fan 15 for drawing air out of the vessel 7. In this way, a first fan 11 may actively introduce air into a vessel 7 surrounding the disc brake assembly 1,5 to replace that air that would otherwise by naturally incident, thereby simultaneously preventing loss of particulates to the surrounding environment before they have the chance to be vacuumed-up by the second fan 15 and enabling adequate cooling of the disc brake assembly 1,5.
