Abstract
Disclosed is a system for capturing braking particles from a friction brake system of a machine, which includes a vacuum source, a pneumatic circuit which connects the friction brake system to the vacuum source, and a filter located on the pneumatic circuit and mounted on a support. The capturing system includes a control unit, a control device for the machine, and a clogging detection device for the filter which is capable of sending at least one signal to the control unit when the filter is clogged, the control unit being capable of determining the clogging of the filter, on the basis of this signal, and being capable of determining whether the detection device is inoperative, the control unit being capable of activating the control device to limit the operation of the machine when the filter is clogged or when the detection device is inoperative.
