MANN+HUMMEL Announces New Brake Dust Particulate Filter

According to the company, braking in city traffic creates significantly more dust than exhaust emissions. Every braking action creates brake dust through friction on the brake disc and brake pads. This is mainly comprised of particulates, and due to the small particle size, they are harmful to health and the environment. The brake dust contributes considerably towards the pollution caused by particulates from road traffic. More than 90 percent of brake dust consists of ultra-fine particles which have a negative effect on human health. A study from the World Health Organization came to the conclusion that 92 percent of humans live in areas where air pollution is above the permissible level.

After successful lab tests, the brake dust particulate filter is now being tested in the “fine dust eater” fleet by MANN+HUMMEL to measure performance in real driving conditions. The newly developed brake dust particulate filter from MANN+HUMMEL considerably reduces the emission of particulates, and as a result, less brake dust particulates are able to penetrate the ambient air in traffic. The filter can be adapted to existing installation space in the area of the brake disc. The brake dust particulate filter is suitable for use with all types of vehicles, ranging from electric vehicles to hybrid vehicles and conventional petrol and diesel vehicles.

The robust housing of the filter fitted close to the brake caliper allows the filter to prevent the emission directly at the source of fine dust to the ambient air. This is especially useful in city traffic, where frequent braking occurs. The filter medium, which efficiently filters the various particle sizes, is made from a material which is resistant to temperature and corrosion. The retention of the fine dust directly at the place where it is created prevents the soiling of alloy rims and to a large extent the tedious removal of the entrenched brake dust .

The brake dust particulate filter from MANN+HUMMEL, with its robust design, can be implemented in the existing installation space and also can become a colored styling element.

In addition to use in motor cars, the brake dust particulate filter also can be used in commercial vehicles and railway applications.

       Surface Treatment Methods for Brake Discs
      By abiztime
      Brake discs, also known as brake rotors, are a crucial component of a vehicle's braking system. Surface treatments help improve wear resistance, reduce friction, and protect against corrosion. Here are some common surface treatment methods for brake discs.
        1.     Anti-rust oiling for brake discs This the simplest way to treat surface of brake discs.
        2. Zinc plating for discs Zinc plating is a common surface treatment that involves electroplating a thin layer of zinc onto the brake disc. The advantages include: enhanced corrosion protection; aesthetic appeal; durability.   3.     Geomet coating for brake discs Geomet coating is a water-based, chrome-free solution often used for brake discs. It has superior corrosion resistance and high performance. Being chrome-free, it is less harmful to the environment compared to traditional coatings.   4.     Dacromet coating for brake discs Dacromet is another type of water-based coating, similar to Geomet, but with a different composition.
        5.     Black/Grey painting for brake discs You can choose all body spay, semi-spray, painting hats or painting edges.   Selecting the appropriate surface treatment for brake discs is essential to ensure optimal performance, durability, and safety. Each method has its unique advantages, making it suitable for different applications and environmental conditions.

      About the brake discs
      By abiztime
      (Disc Brake Systems: The Basics).  (shared by RDBRAKE) Disc brakes are a type of brake that uses a disc-shaped rotor and a caliper with pads to slow or stop a vehicle. They are found on almost all modern cars and trucks, and for good reason. Disc brakes offer several advantages over drum brakes, the other common type of brake system. (How Disc Brakes Work) When you step on the brake pedal, hydraulic fluid is forced through the brake lines to the brake calipers. The calipers contain pistons that push against the brake pads, which are pressed against the rotor. The friction between the pads and the rotor slows the vehicle down. (Advantages of Disc Brakes) Better heat dissipation: Disc brakes are much better at dissipating heat than drum brakes. This is important because heat is a major enemy of brakes. When brakes overheat, they can fade, which means they lose their stopping power. Consistent braking performance: Disc brakes provide consistent braking performance, even in wet or dusty conditions. This is because the pads and rotors are always exposed to air, which helps to keep them cool and dry. Less brake fade: Disc brakes are less prone to brake fade than drum brakes. This is because the pads and rotors are always exposed to air, which helps to keep them cool. Easier to maintain: Disc brakes are easier to maintain than drum brakes. The pads and rotors can be replaced without having to take the wheel off. Types of Disc Brakes There are two main types of disc brakes: solid disc brakes and ventilated disc brakes. Solid disc brakes are the simplest type of disc brake. They consist of a solid disc of metal that is attached to the wheel hub. Ventilated disc brakes have a series of vanes or fins cast into the disc. These vanes help to dissipate heat more effectively. Maintenance Tips Inspect your brakes regularly. Look for signs of wear, such as worn brake pads or rotors. Replace your brake pads and rotors as needed. Don't wait until they are completely worn out. Have your brakes bled regularly. This will help to ensure that your brakes are working properly.
