ORIGINAL SCHMITZ SEALING STRIP 1278727

Sealing gasket for side curtain

The original Schmitz Cargobull sealing strip (code 1278727) is the standard component used to ensure the airtightness of curtain sider systems. Designed for perfect integration with Schmitz metal structures, this elastomer (EPDM) profile acts as an essential barrier between the semi-trailer frame and the curtain material, protecting the cargo against bad weather and dust.

As an original part (OEM), it guarantees a precise fit in the guide rails and superior durability, maintaining its elastic properties under heavy operating conditions, from extreme frost to high temperatures.

Technical specifications:

Key advantages:

• OEM Quality: Meets strict original equipment standards, ensuring longevity and consistent performance.

• Efficient Sealing: The profile prevents capillary infiltration, protecting sensitive cargo from moisture and impurities.

• Resistance to environmental factors: The EPDM material is resistant to UV rays and freeze-thaw cycles, avoiding the risk of becoming brittle.

• Noise Optimization: By correctly sealing the curtain, flapping and unpleasant noises are eliminated at highway speeds.

• Easy installation: Allows for quick replacement in service conditions, reducing vehicle downtime.

Signs indicating replacement is needed:

• Physical degradation: Appearance of cracks, tears, or stiffening of the rubber.

• Infiltration: Traces of water or dampness detected in the curtain junction area after rain.

• Sealing defects: Visible gaps between the edge of the curtain and the aluminum profile.

• Noise: Loud rustling or flapping of the curtain while driving, a sign that the gasket no longer holds the curtain firmly.

Quick installation guide:

1. Cleaning: Remove the old strip and clean the aluminum rail of dust, rust, or rubber residue.

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

3. Installation: Insert the new 1278727 profile into the groove, ensuring it slides uniformly along the entire length.

4. Fixing: Check for proper placement, without any twists. Use a pressure roller or a rubber mallet to firmly set the gasket in the rail.
