LCDM - Model DBAR - Adjustable Cushion Box
Finding reliable, cost-effective ways to minimize grain damage poses an ongoing challenge for the grain handling industry. LCDM offers the innovative DBAR Adjustable Cushion Box, which is revolutionizing the grain flow equipment industry. The DBAR features a patented design that reduces grain damage by more than 50 percent — and in some cases, eliminates it entirely. And less grain damage means a more productive and profitable operation.

DBAR stands for “Dead Box Adjustable Round.” This unit features an internal cone with an adjustable baffle that collects and cushions grain — even when the spouts aren’t running at full capacity. You’ll experience a consistent pocket of grain, and you’ll generate a higher-quality product while also keeping your operation running efficiently.
Some of the more prominent DBAR Cushion Box features and attributes include:
- Adjustable baffle that allows you to customize the level of cushion for the grain to meet your specifications
- Construction ideally suited for full or partial capacity situations
- Heavy-duty 8-gauge body with a hot dip galvanized finish that ensures reliable, long-lasting performance in all types of operating conditions and environments
- Two conveniently located oversized service doors make cleaning a breeze — checking for and removing foreign objects, dust and debris is a fast, simple process
- Wide variety of liner options (blue urethane, Kryptane, Extreme Green)
- Replaceable inner components that ensure a long service life of the entire cushion box
- Stock sizes that range from 8 to 20 inches
- Easy setup with minimal time and labor required for installation
- Elimination of the need for flow retarders in the middle of the spouts, which contributes to ease of installation and convenience for the millwright
The DBAR is ideally suited for grain-on-grain cushion box applications where the grain legs are not operating at full capacity, as well as for times when you need to vary the capacity of the spout between full and half-full. The self-cleaning inner cone also produces excellent results during operations where there’s a high risk of cross-contamination.
How the DBAR Cushion Box Beats the Competition
No competing cushion box on the market can match the DBAR when it comes to versatility and quality — not to mention the ability to minimize grain damage. While most models only provide grain cushioning when they run at full capacity, the DBAR adjustable cushion box offers the same benefit for operating at reduced capacity. A standard cushion box cannot produce a sufficient cushion to protect the grain. You can use this option for a broader range of applications with no concerns about material damage.
Unmatched Grain Quality
Perhaps the most essential DBAR cushion box benefit to you — the business owner or project manager — is the superior quality of the grain. You’ll lose less product to damage, which will make your entire operation more efficient and cost-effective. You’ll also get more usable grain at a lower expense, which will have a positive impact on what matters most — your bottom line.
