140 mm SEALING STRIP (BLACK) – SCHWARZMÜLLER 101 642

Technical sealing gasket for Schwarzmüller semi-trailers

The sealing strip with a width of 140 mm (Product Code: 101 642) is a high-performance structural component, designed specifically for Schwarzmüller semi-trailers with a sliding curtain system. This sealing profile, also known as a "rain flap" due to its primary role in diverting water, provides the necessary airtight barrier between the superstructure frame and the curtain fabric.

As a critical element in cargo protection, this seal prevents water, dust, and impurities from entering, while also helping to maintain a dry and protected transport environment, regardless of road or climate conditions.

Main technical specifications:

Key advantages of the 140 mm (Schwarzmüller) profile:

• Superior Sealing: The generous 140 mm width offers an extended contact surface, ensuring an effective barrier against capillary infiltration.

• Elastic Memory: Made of high-quality technical rubber (EPDM), the profile retains its shape and flexibility over many usage cycles, without becoming brittle at low temperatures.

• UV and Anti-aging Protection: The material is treated to resist intense solar radiation, preventing premature cracking or fading.

• Precise Compatibility: Developed according to Schwarzmüller manufacturer specifications, the seal integrates perfectly into the semi-trailer's metal profiles, avoiding the need for costly manual adjustments.

• Aerodynamics and Acoustics: Through optimal sealing, the profile reduces curtain flapping and road noise at high speeds, while also optimizing fuel consumption by reducing air turbulence.

Signs of wear requiring replacement:

• Structural integrity: Appearance of cracks, tears, or visible hardening of the rubber.

• Compromised seal: Traces of water or dampness detected in the upper area of the cargo or on the cargo pallets.

• Visual appearance: Visible gaps (slits) between the curtain edge and the body profile.

• Noise: Loud flapping or unnatural banging of the curtain against the frame while driving on the highway.

Quick installation guide:

1. Preparation: Remove the old seal and carefully clean the aluminum rail of debris, dust, and dirt.

2. Degreasing: Ensure the mounting profile is clean and degreased for optimal fixation.

3. Installation: Insert the new 140 mm profile into the guide groove along the entire perimeter of the body.

4. Fixing: Check for uniform alignment, avoiding twisting the material. Use a pressure roller or a rubber mallet for a firm and secure attachment in the aluminum profile.
