Note 1 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies	12 Months Ended
	Dec. 31, 2013
Accounting Policies [Abstract]	'
Significant Accounting Policies [Text Block]	'
	NOTE 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
	Consolidation
	The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of John Bean Technologies Corporation and all wholly-owned subsidiaries. All intercompany investments, accounts, and transactions have been eliminated.
	Use of estimates
	Preparation of financial statements that follow accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and notes. Actual amounts could differ from these estimates.
	Cash and cash equivalents
	Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash and highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less.
	Inventories
	Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value, which includes an estimate for excess and obsolete inventories. Inventory costs include those costs directly attributable to products, including all manufacturing overhead but excluding costs to distribute. Cost is determined on the last-in, first-out (“LIFO”) basis for all domestic inventories, except certain inventories relating to construction-type contracts, which are stated at the actual production cost incurred to date, reduced by the portion of these costs identified with revenue recognized. The first-in, first-out (“FIFO”) method is used to determine the cost for all other inventories.
	Property, plant, and equipment
	Property, plant, and equipment are recorded at cost. Depreciation for financial reporting purposes is provided principally on the straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the assets (land improvements—20 to 35 years, buildings—20 to 50 years; and machinery and equipment—3 to 20 years). Gains and losses are reflected in other income, net on the consolidated statements of income upon the sale or retirement of assets. Expenditures that extend the useful lives of property, plant, and equipment are capitalized and depreciated over the estimated new remaining life of the asset.
	Capitalized software costs
	Other assets include the capitalized cost of internal use software (including Internet web sites). The assets are stated at cost less accumulated amortization and totaled $5.2 million and $5.9 million at December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. These software costs include significant purchases of software and internal and external costs incurred during the application development stage of software projects. These costs are amortized on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the assets. For internal use software, the useful lives range from three to ten years. For Internet web site costs, the estimated useful lives do not exceed three years.
	Goodwill
	We test goodwill for impairment annually during the fourth quarter and whenever events occur or changes in circumstances indicate that impairment may have occurred. Impairment testing is performed for each of our reporting units by first assessing qualitative factors to see if further testing of goodwill is required. If we conclude that it is more likely than not that a reporting unit’s fair value is less than its carrying amount, then a quantitative test is required. We may also choose to bypass the qualitative assessment and perform the quantitative test. In performing the quantitative test, we determine the fair value of a reporting unit using the “income approach” valuation method. We use a discounted cash flow model in which cash flows anticipated over several periods, plus a terminal value at the end of that time horizon, are discounted to their present value using an appropriate cost of capital rate. Judgment is required in developing the assumptions for the discounted cash flow model. These assumptions include revenue growth rates, profit margin percentages, discount rates, perpetuity growth rates, future capital expenditures, and working capital requirements, among others. If the estimated fair value of a reporting unit exceeds its carrying value, goodwill is considered to not be impaired. If the carrying value exceeds estimated fair value, there is an indication of potential impairment, and we calculate an implied fair value of goodwill. The implied fair value is calculated as the difference between the fair value of the reporting unit and the fair value of the individual assets and liabilities of the reporting unit, excluding goodwill. An impairment charge is recorded for any excess of the carrying value over the implied fair value.
	Based on our 2013 annual assessment, we determined that none of our goodwill was impaired.
	Intangible assets
	Our acquired intangible assets are being amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives, which generally range from 7 to 15 years. None of our acquired intangible assets have indefinite lives.
	Impairment of long-lived assets
	Our long-lived assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the long-lived asset may not be recoverable. The carrying amount of a long-lived asset is not recoverable if it exceeds the sum of the undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use and eventual disposition of the asset. If it is determined that an impairment loss has occurred, the loss is measured as the amount by which the carrying amount of the long-lived asset exceeds its fair value.
	Revenue recognition
	We recognize product revenue when we have an agreement with the customer, the product has been delivered to the customer, the sales price is fixed or determinable and collectability is assured.
	Each customer arrangement is evaluated to determine the presence of multiple deliverables. For multiple-element revenue arrangements, such as the sale of equipment with a service agreement, we generally allocate the contract value to the various elements based on relative selling price for each element and recognize revenue consistent with the nature of each deliverable.
	Our standard agreements generally do not include customer acceptance provisions. However, if there is a customer acceptance provision, the associated revenue is deferred until we have satisfied the acceptance provision.
	Certain of our product sales are generated from construction-type contracts and revenue is recognized under the percentage of completion method. Under this method, revenue is recognized as work progresses on each contract. However, revenue recognition does not begin until a substantial portion of the labor hours are incurred to ensure that revenue is not accelerated for materials procurement. We primarily measure progress toward completion by the units of completion method. Any expected losses are charged to earnings, in total, in the period the losses are identified.
	Progress billings generally are issued upon the completion of certain phases of the work as stipulated in the contract. Revenue in excess of progress billings on contracts amounted to $56.8 million and $57.9 million at December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. These unbilled receivables are reported in trade receivables on the consolidated balance sheets. Progress billings and cash collections in excess of revenue recognized on a contract are classified as advance and progress payments on the consolidated balance sheets. All unbilled trade payables are accrued in other current liabilities when revenue is recognized. Unbilled trade payables were $2.7 million and $2.0 million at December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively.
	Service revenue is recognized either when performance is complete or proportionately over the period of the underlying contract, depending on the terms of the arrangement.
	Some of our operating lease revenue is earned from full-service leases for which we are paid annual fixed rates plus, in some cases, and additional amount based on production volumes. Revenue from production volumes is recognized when determinable and collectible.
	We provide an allowance for doubtful accounts on trade receivables equal to the estimated uncollectible amounts. This estimate is based on historical collection experience and a specific review of each customer’s trade receivable balance.
	Income taxes
	Income taxes are provided on income reported for financial statement purposes, adjusted for permanent differences between financial statement reporting and income tax regulations. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates, and reflect the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between the carrying amounts and the tax bases of assets and liabilities. A valuation allowance is established whenever management believes that it is more likely than not that deferred tax assets may not be realizable.
	A liability for uncertain tax positions is recorded whenever management believes it is not more likely than not that the position will be sustained on examination based solely on its technical merits. Interest and penalties related to underpayment of income taxes are classified as income tax expense.
	Income taxes are not provided on undistributed earnings of foreign subsidiaries or affiliates when it is management’s intention that such earnings will remain invested in those companies. Taxes are provided on such earnings in the year in which the decision is made to repatriate the earnings.
	Stock-based employee compensation
	We measure compensation cost on restricted stock awards based on the market price of our common stock at the grant date and the number of shares awarded. The compensation cost for each award is recognized ratably over the lesser of the stated vesting period or the period until the employee becomes retirement eligible, after taking into account estimated forfeitures.
	Foreign currency
	Financial statements of operations for which the U.S. dollar is not the functional currency are translated to the U.S. dollar prior to consolidation. Assets and liabilities are translated at the exchange rate in effect at the balance sheet date, while income statement accounts are translated at the average exchange rate for each period. For these operations, translation gains and losses are recorded as a component of accumulated other comprehensive loss in stockholders’ equity until the foreign entity is sold or liquidated.
	Derivative financial instruments
	Derivatives are recognized in the consolidated balance sheets at fair value, with classification as current or non-current based upon the maturity of the derivative instrument. We do not offset fair value amounts for derivative instruments held with the same counterparty. Changes in the fair value of derivative instruments are recorded in current earnings or deferred in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss), depending on the type of hedging transaction and whether a derivative is designated as, and is effective as, a hedge.
	We elected to discontinue the use of hedge accounting for all foreign currency derivative positions entered into since July of 2008. Accordingly, the changes in fair value of these contracts are recognized in earnings as they occur and, to the extent derivatives economically hedge existing assets or liabilities as opposed to anticipated transactions, offset gains or losses on the remeasurement of the related asset or liability. In the consolidated statements of income, earnings from foreign currency derivatives related to sales and remeasurement of sales-related assets, liabilities and contracts are recorded in revenue, while earnings from foreign currency derivatives related to purchases and remeasurement of purchase-related assets, liabilities and contracts are recorded in cost of sales. These gains and losses are excluded from our measure of segment operating profit and are reflected in other expense, net in the reconciliation of segment operating profit to income before income taxes.
	When hedge accounting is applied, we ensure that the derivative is highly effective at offsetting changes in anticipated cash flows of the hedged item or transaction. Changes in fair value of derivatives that are designated as cash flow hedges are deferred in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) until the underlying transactions are recognized in earnings. At such time, related deferred hedging gains or losses are also recorded in earnings on the same line as the hedged item. Effectiveness is assessed at the inception of the hedge and on a quarterly basis. Effectiveness of forward contract cash flow hedges is assessed based solely on changes in fair value attributable to the change in the spot rate. The change in the fair value of the contract related to the change in forward rates is excluded from the assessment of hedge effectiveness. Changes in this excluded component of the derivative instrument, along with any ineffectiveness identified, are recorded in earnings as incurred. We document our risk management strategy and method for assessing hedge effectiveness at the inception of and throughout the term of each hedge.
	Cash flows from derivative contracts are reported in the consolidated statements of cash flows in the same categories as the cash flows from the underlying transactions.
	Recently issued and adopted accounting pronouncements
	In February 2013, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued guidance that requires an entity to disclose information showing the effect of items reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive income on the line items of net income. The provisions of this new guidance were effective prospectively as of the beginning of our 2013 fiscal year. Accordingly, we adopted this standard in the first quarter of 2013.
	In December 2011, the FASB issued new disclosure requirements that are intended to enhance current disclosures on offsetting financial assets and liabilities. The new disclosures require an entity to disclose both gross and net information about derivative instruments accounted for in accordance with the guidance on derivatives and hedging that are eligible for offset on the balance sheet, and instruments and transactions subject to an agreement similar to a master netting arrangement. We adopted this standard in the first quarter of 2013.

	NOTE 5. DEBT
	Our short-term borrowings consist of short-term credit facilities entered into by our wholly-owned subsidiaries in China and India. The China short-term credit facilities allow us to borrow up to a total of $9 million; as of December 31, 2013 and 2012, we had $0.5 million and $1.4 million, respectively, of outstanding borrowings. The Indian credit facility allows us to borrow up to a total of approximately $0.8 million; we had $0.5 million and $0.4 million of outstanding borrowings as of December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively.
	Five-year Revolving Credit Facility and Other Long-term Borrowings
	We entered into a $300 million 5-year credit facility agreement in November 2012. This credit facility permits borrowings in the U.S., Sweden and the Netherlands. Borrowings bear interest, at our option, at LIBOR or an alternative base rate, which is the greater of JPMorgan Chase, N.A.’s Prime Rate, the Federal Funds Rate plus 50 basis points, and LIBOR plus 1%, plus a margin dependent on our leverage ratio.
	We are required to make periodic interest payments on the borrowed amounts and to pay an annual facility fee ranging from 15.0 to 27.5 basis points, depending on our leverage ratio. Our unused commitment totaled approximately $278 million at December 31, 2013. Outstanding letters of credit issued against the credit facility at December 31, 2013 were $6.0 million.
	We have $75 million of 6.66% senior unsecured notes. The senior unsecured notes are due on July 31, 2015 and require us to make semiannual interest payments.
	Our Brazilian subsidiary entered into two loans during 2013. The first loan was a $4.0 million loan with an annual interest cost of 5.5% that has a first installment payment of $2.0 million due on February 21, 2014, and a second installment payment due at maturity on August 20, 2014. The second loan was a Brazilian real denominated loan in the amount of Br7.9 million (approximately $3.4 million) and bears an annual interest rate of 5.5%. The first payment on this loan is due on May 14, 2014, with equal monthly payments required for 24 months thereafter.
	Our credit facility and notes include restrictive covenants that, if not met, could lead to renegotiation of our credit lines, a requirement to repay our borrowings, and/or a significant increase in our cost of financing. Restrictive covenants include a minimum interest coverage ratio, a maximum leverage ratio, and limitations on payments made to shareholders.
	Our debt as of December 31 consisted of the following:
		Weighted-Average

	Deferred tax liabilities			38			32.5
	Net deferred tax assets		$	14.5		$	32.8
	Included in our deferred tax assets are tax benefits related to net operating loss carry forwards attributable to our foreign operations. At December 31, 2013, we had $15.3 million of net operating losses that are available to offset future taxable income in several foreign jurisdictions indefinitely, and $7.5 million of net operating losses that are available to offset future taxable income through 2029. During 2014, we expect to use $3.0 million of net operating losses relating to prior years in the filing of our 2013 corporate income tax returns.
	Also included in our deferred tax assets at December 31, 2013 are $0.2 million of foreign tax credit carry forwards related to our foreign operations, which will expire by 2020 if unused, and $0.8 million of research and development credit carry forwards, which will expire by 2033 if unused. We anticipate fully utilizing the net operating loss carry forwards, the foreign tax credits, and the research and development credit carry forward before any expiration.
	Included in our deferred tax assets at December 31, 2013 are tax benefits related to accounts receivable allowances. A portion of the accounts receivable allowances are due to uncollectible accounts receivable of a foreign operation for which it is more likely than not that we will not be able to realize a tax benefit. Therefore, we continue to carry a valuation allowance against the related deferred tax assets.
	The effective income tax rate was different from the statutory U.S. federal income tax rate due to the following:

	Effective income tax rate			29%			31%			34%
	Due to changes in tax law, the research and development tax credit reflects $1.1 million of additional tax benefits relating to years prior to 2013.
	U.S. income taxes have not been provided on $75.6 million of undistributed earnings of foreign subsidiaries at December 31, 2013 as these amounts are considered permanently invested. A liability could arise if our intention to permanently invest such earnings were to change and amounts are distributed by such subsidiaries or if such subsidiaries are ultimately disposed. It is not practicable to estimate the additional income taxes related to the hypothetical distribution of permanently invested earnings.
We are a party to a Tax Sharing Agreement with FMC Technologies whereby we have agreed to indemnify FMC Technologies for any additional tax liability resulting from JBT Corporation businesses. As of December 31, 2013, we are not aware of any such additional tax liability.
The following tax years remain subject to examination in the following significant jurisdictions:

Pension and Other Postretirement Benefits Disclosure [Text Block]	'
	NOTE 7. PENSION AND POSTRETIREMENT AND OTHER BENEFIT PLANS
	We sponsor qualified and nonqualified defined benefit pension plans that together cover many of our U.S. employees. The plans provide defined benefits based on years of service and final average salary. We also provide postretirement medical and life insurance benefits to some of our U.S. employees. The postretirement medical plan is contributory while the postretirement life insurance plan is noncontributory. Foreign-based employees are eligible to participate in either JBT Corporation-sponsored or government sponsored benefit plans to which we contribute. We also sponsor separate defined contribution plans that cover substantially all of our U.S. employees and some international employees.
	Beginning in 2010, the domestic defined benefit plans were frozen discontinuing new entrants and future benefit accruals for non-union participants.
	The funded status of our pension and postretirement benefit plans, together with the associated balances recognized in our consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2013 and 2012, were as follows:

	The accumulated benefit obligation for all pension plans was $299.8 million and $325.6 million at December 31, 2013 and 2012. Key information for our plans with accumulated benefit obligation in excess of plan assets as of December 31 was as follows:

	Changes recognized in OCI
	(In millions)		Pensions				Other postretirement benefits
	Actuarial gain due to discount rate change		$	(31.9	)		$	(0.9	)

	Amortization of prior service credit (cost)			(0.2	)			0.3
	Total income recognized in other comprehensive income			(40.3	)			(0.6	)
	Total recognized in net periodic benefit cost and other comprehensive income		$	(38.5	)		$	(0.5	)
	The Company uses a corridor approach to recognize actuarial gains and losses that result from changes in the actuarial assumptions. The corridor approach defers all actuarial gains and losses resulting from changes in assumptions in other accumulated comprehensive income(loss), such as those related to changes in the discount rate and differences between actual and assumed returns on plan assets. These unrecognized gains and losses are amortized when the net gains and losses exceed 10% of the higher of the market-related value of the assets or the projected benefit obligation for each respective plan. The amortization is on a straight-line basis over the life expectancy of the plan’s participants for the frozen plans and the expected remaining service periods for the other plans. We expect to amortize $2.7 million of net actuarial loss and $0.1 million of prior service cost from accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) into net periodic benefit cost in 2014.
	The following weighted-average assumptions were used to determine the benefit obligations:
	Weighted-average assumption to determine benefit obligation
			Pensions												Other postretirement benefits
		2013				2012				2011				2013			2012			2011
Discount rate			4.92%				4.19%				4.55%				5.10%			4.30%			4.60%
Rate of compensation increase			3.45%				3.45%				3.42%				-			-			-
The following weighted-average assumptions were used to determine net periodic benefit cost:
		Pensions												Other postretirement benefits
		2013				2012				2011				2013			2012			2011
Discount rate			4.17%				4.55%				5.32%				4.30%			4.60%			5.45%
Rate of compensation increase			3.45%				3.45%				3.42%				-			-			-
Expected rate of return on plan assets			7.81%				7.82%				8.35%				-			-			-
The estimate of expected rate of return on plan assets is based primarily on the historical performance of plan assets, current market conditions and long-term growth expectations.
Assumed health care cost trend rates for future periods will not have an effect on the amounts reported for the postretirement health care plan as our benefit obligation under the plan was fully capped at the 2002 benefit level.
Plan assets
Our pension investment strategy balances the requirements to generate returns using higher-returning assets, such as equity securities, with the need to control risk in the pension plan with less volatile assets, such as fixed-income securities. Risks include, among others, the likelihood of the pension plans being underfunded, thereby increasing their dependence on Company contributions. The assets are managed by professional investment firms and performance is evaluated against specific benchmarks. Our target asset allocations and actual allocation as of December 31, 2013 and 2012 were as follows:
		Target						2013				2012
Equity			30%	-	70%				47%				49%
Fixed income			20%	-	40%				25%				29%

-5	Includes funds that invest primarily in REITs, funds that invest in commodities and investments in insurance contracts held by one of our foreign pension plans.
The fair value of assets classified as Level 1 is based on unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets. The fair value of assets classified as Level 2 is based on quoted prices for similar assets or based on valuations made using inputs that are either directly or indirectly observable as of the reporting date. Such inputs include net asset values reported at a minimum on a monthly basis by investment funds or contract values provided by the issuing insurance company. We are able to sell any of our investment funds with notice of no more than 30 days. For more information on the fair value hierarchy, see Note 13.
Contributions
We expect to contribute approximately $13.0 million to our pension and other postretirement benefit plans in 2014. The pension contributions will be primarily for the U.S. qualified pension plan. All of the contributions are expected to be in the form of cash.
Estimated future benefit payments
The following table summarizes expected benefit payments from our various pension and postretirement benefit plans through 2023. Actual benefit payments may differ from expected benefit payments.
(In millions)		Pensions				Other postretirement benefits
2014		$	15.9			$	0.4

2019-2023			88.4				2.8
Savings Plans
Our U.S. and some international employees participate in defined contribution savings plans that we sponsor. These plans generally provide company matching contributions on participants’ voluntary contributions and/or company non-elective contributions. Additionally, certain highly compensated employees participate in a non-qualified deferred compensation plan, which also allows for company matching contributions and company non-elective contributions on compensation in excess of the Internal Revenue Code Section 401(a) (17) limit. The expense for matching contributions was $9.4 million, $8.9 million and $9.0 million in 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively.

	Note 8. accumulated other comprehensive income (loss)
	Accumulated other comprehensive income or loss (“AOCI”) represents the cumulative balance of other comprehensive income, net of tax, as of the balance sheet date. For JBT, AOCI is primarily composed of adjustments related to pension and other postretirement benefits plans and foreign currency translation adjustments. Changes in the AOCI balances quarterly for December 31, 2013 by component are shown in the following table:

	Incentive Compensation Plan
	We sponsor a stock-based compensation plan (the “Incentive Compensation Plan”) that provides certain incentives and awards to our officers, employees, directors and consultants. The Incentive Compensation Plan allows our Board of Directors (the “Board”) to make various types of awards to non-employee directors and the Compensation Committee (the “Committee”) of the Board to make various types of awards to other eligible individuals. Awards that may be issued include common stock, stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock and stock units.
	Grants of common stock options may be incentive and/or nonqualified stock options. Under the Incentive Compensation Plan, the exercise price for options cannot be less than the market value of our common stock at the date of grant. Options vest in accordance with the terms of the award as determined by the Committee, which is generally after three years of service, and expire not later than 10 years after the grant date. Restricted stock grants specify any applicable performance goals, the time and rate of vesting and such other provisions as determined by the Committee. Restricted stock grants generally vest after three years of service. Additionally, most awards vest immediately upon a change of control as defined in the Incentive Compensation Plan. A total of 3.7 million shares of our common stock are authorized to be issued under the Incentive Compensation Plan.
	Restricted Stock Units
	A summary of the non-vested restricted stock units as of December 31, 2013 and changes during the year is presented below:
					Weighted-Average
					Grant-Date
		Shares			Fair Value
	Nonvested at December 31, 2012		1,229,972		$	17.14
	Granted		387,421		$	20.88
	Vested		(358,982	)	$	16.43
	Forfeited		(29,017	)	$	18.1
	Nonvested at December 31, 2013		1,229,394		$	18.5
	We granted time-based and performance-based restricted stock units that vest after three years. The fair value of these awards is determined using the market value of our common stock on the grant date. Compensation cost is recognized over the lesser of the stated vesting period or the period until the employee reaches age 62, the retirement eligible age under the plan.
	For current year performance-based awards, the number of shares to be issued was dependent upon our performance relative to prior year with respect to growth in earnings and net contribution (which is an economic value added measure calculated by determining the amount by which our net income from continuing operations, after adding back interest expense, exceeds our cost of capital) for the year ended December 31, 2013. Based on results for the performance period, we expect to issue a total of 48,602 shares at the vesting date in January 2016. Compensation cost has been measured for 2013 based on actual performance against the established target.
	The following summarizes values for restricted stock activity in each of the years in the three year period ended December 31:
		2013			2012		2011
	Weighted-average grant-date fair value of restricted stock units granted	$	20.88		$	17.53	$	18.72
	Fair value of restricted stock vested (in millions)	$	6.7		$	6.8	$	14.2
	Stock Options
	There were no options granted, forfeited or expired during the year ended December 31, 2013. The following shows the stock option activity for the year ended December 31, 2013:
							Weighted-
					Weighted-		Average
		Shares			Average		Remaining		Aggregate
		Under			Exercise		Contractual		Intrinsic
	(Intrinsic value in millions)	Option			Price		Term (Years)		Value
	Outstanding and exercisable at December 31, 2012		23,651		$	2.96		1.1	$	0.3
	Exercised		(23,651	)
	Outstanding and exercisable at December 31, 2013		-
	The aggregate intrinsic value reflects the value to the option holders, or the difference between the market price as of year-end and the exercise price of the option, which would have been received by the option holders had all options been exercised as of that date. While the intrinsic value is representative of the value to be gained by the option holders, this value is not indicative of our compensation expense. Compensation expense on stock options is calculated on the date of grant based on the fair value of the options as determined by a Black-Scholes option pricing model and the number of options granted, reduced by estimated forfeitures. The intrinsic value of options exercised in 2013, 2012 and 2011, was $0.6 million, $0.4 million and $0.2 million, respectively.

Shares may be purchased from time to time in open market transactions, subject to market conditions. Repurchased shares become treasury shares, which are accounted for using the cost method and are used for future awards under the Incentive Compensation Plan.
	On July 31, 2008, our Board declared a dividend distribution to each record holder of common stock of one Preferred Share Purchase Right for each share of common stock outstanding on that date. Each right entitles the holder to purchase, under certain circumstances related to a change in control of the Company, one one-hundredth of a share of Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock, par value $0.01, at a price of $72 per share (subject to adjustment), subject to the terms and conditions of a Rights Agreement dated July 31, 2008. The rights expire on July 31, 2018, unless redeemed by us at an earlier date. The redemption price of $0.01 per right is subject to adjustment to reflect stock splits, stock dividends or similar transactions. We have reserved 1,500,000 shares of Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock for possible issuance under the agreement.

	NOTE 12. DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND CREDIT RISK
	Derivative financial instruments
	We hold derivative financial instruments for the purpose of hedging foreign currency risks of certain identifiable and anticipated transactions.
	We manufacture and sell our products in a number of countries throughout the world and, as a result, are exposed to movements in foreign currency exchange rates. Our major foreign currency exposures involve the markets in Western Europe, South America and Asia. Many of our sales and purchase contracts are written contemplating this risk and therefore contain embedded derivatives, which we take into consideration as part of our risk management policy. The purpose of our foreign currency hedging activities is to manage the economic impact of exchange rate volatility associated with anticipated foreign currency purchases and sales made in the normal course of business. We primarily utilize forward foreign exchange contracts with maturities of less than 2 years. We do not apply hedge accounting for these forward foreign exchange contracts. As of December 31, 2013, we held forward foreign exchange contracts with an aggregate notional value of $440.9 million.
	The following table presents the fair value of foreign currency derivatives included within the consolidated balance sheets:
		As of December 31, 2013								As of December 31, 2012
	(In millions)	Derivative Assets				Derivative Liabilities				Derivative Assets				Derivative Liabilities

	Refer to Note 13. Fair Value of Financial Instruments, for a description of how the values of the above financial instruments are determined.
	A master netting arrangement allows counterparties to net settle amounts owed to each other as a result of separate offsetting derivative transactions. We enter into master netting arrangements with our counterparties when possible to mitigate credit risk in derivative transactions by permitting us to net settle for transactions with the same counterparty. However, we do not net settle with such counterparties. As a result, we present derivatives at gross fair values in the consolidated balance sheets. As of December 31, 2013 and 2012, information related to these offsetting arrangements was as follows:
	(in millions)	As of December 31, 2013

	Credit risk
	By their nature, financial instruments involve risk including credit risk for non-performance by counterparties. Financial instruments that potentially subject us to credit risk primarily consist of trade receivables and derivative contracts. We manage the credit risk on financial instruments by transacting only with financially secure counterparties, requiring credit approvals and credit limits, and monitoring counterparties’ financial condition. Our maximum exposure to credit loss in the event of non-performance by the counterparty is limited to the amount drawn and outstanding on the financial instrument. Allowances for losses are established based on collectability assessments.

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract]	'
Fair Value Disclosures [Text Block]	'
	NOTE 13. FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
	The fair value framework requires the categorization of assets and liabilities into three levels based upon the assumptions (inputs) used to price the assets or liabilities. Level 1 provides the most reliable measure of fair value, whereas Level 3 generally requires significant management judgment. The three levels are defined as follows:
		•	Level 1: Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities.
		•	Level 2: Observable inputs other than those included in Level 1. For example, quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets or quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in inactive markets.
		•	Level 3: Unobservable inputs reflecting management’s own assumptions about the inputs used in pricing the asset or liability.
	Financial assets and financial liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis are as follows:
			As of December 31, 2013								As of December 31, 2012
	(In millions)		Total		Level 1		Level 2		Level 3		Total		Level 1		Level 2		Level 3

	Derivatives			8.4		-	$	8.4		-		7.6		-	$	7.6		-

	Liabilities:
	Derivatives		$	3.6		-		3.6		-	$	7		-	$	7		-
	Investments represent securities held in a trust for the non-qualified deferred compensation plan. Investments are classified as trading securities and are valued based on quoted prices in active markets for identical assets that we have the ability to access. Investments are reported separately on the consolidated balance sheets. Investments include an unrealized gain of $0.5 million as of December 31, 2013 and an unrealized gain of $0.4 million as of December 31, 2012.
	We use the income approach to measure the fair value of derivative instruments on a recurring basis. This approach calculates the present value of the future cash flow by measuring the change between the derivative contract rate and the published market indicative currency rate, multiplied by the contract notional values, and applying an appropriate discount rate as well as a factor of credit risk.
	The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, trade receivables and accounts payables, as well as financial instruments included in other current assets and other current liabilities, approximate fair values because of their short-term maturities.
	The carrying values and the estimated fair values of our debt financial instruments as of December 31 are as follows:
			2013				2012
	(In millions)		Carrying Value		Estimated Fair Value		Carrying Value		Estimated Fair Value
	Senior unsecured notes due July 31, 2015		$	75	$	80.7	$	75	$	83.9
	Revolving credit facility, expires November 30, 2017			16.5		16.5		113.5		113.5
	Brazilian loan due August 20, 2014			4		4		-		-
	Brazilian loan due April 15, 2016			3.4		2.9		-		-
	Foreign credit facilities			1		1		1.8		1.8
	Other			0.5		0.5		0.8		0.8
	There is no active or observable market for our fixed rate borrowings, which include our senior unsecured notes or our Brazilian loans. Therefore, the estimated fair value of the notes and the loans are based on discounted cash flows using current interest rates available for debt with similar terms and remaining maturities. The estimates of the all-in interest rate for discounting the notes and the loans are based on a broker quote for notes and loans with similar terms. We do not have a rate adjustment for risk profile changes, covenant issues or credit rating changes, therefore the broker quote is deemed to be the closest approximation of current market rates. The carrying values of the remaining borrowings approximate their fair values due to their variable interest rates.

	We are involved in legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business. Although the results of litigation cannot be predicted with certainty, we do not believe that the resolution of the proceedings that we are involved in, either individually or taken as a whole, will have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations or financial condition.
	We have assumed liabilities related to specified legal proceedings arising from our business prior to our 2008 spin-off from FMC Technologies, Inc. As a result, although FMC Technologies, Inc. will in many cases remain the named defendant, we will manage the litigation and indemnify FMC Technologies, Inc. for costs, expenses and judgments arising from existing litigation. We do not believe that any existing litigation we have assumed will have a material effect on our business, results of operations or financial condition.
	Guarantees and Product Warranties
	In the ordinary course of business with customers, vendors and others, we issue standby letters of credit, performance bonds, surety bonds and other guarantees. These financial instruments, which totaled approximately $73.9 million at December 31, 2013, represent guarantees of our future performance. We also have provided approximately $5.2 million of bank guarantees and letters of credit to secure a portion of our existing financial obligations. The majority of these financial instruments expire within two years; we expect to replace them through the issuance of new or the extension of existing letters of credit and surety bonds. In some instances, we guarantee a small portion of our customers’ financing arrangements and retain recourse to the equipment sold. As of December 31, 2013, the maximum future payment obligation under such guarantees was $2.8 million. Historically, we have not made significant payments associated with guarantees of our customers’ financing arrangements.
	We provide warranties of various lengths and terms to certain of our customers based on standard terms and conditions and negotiated agreements. We provide for the estimated cost of warranties at the time revenue is recognized for products where reliable, historical experience of warranty claims and costs exists. We also provide a warranty liability when additional specific obligations are identified. The warranty obligation reflected in other current liabilities in the balance sheets is based on historical experience by product and considers failure rates and the related costs in correcting a product failure. Warranty cost and accrual information is as follows:

	We lease office space, manufacturing facilities and various types of manufacturing and data processing equipment. Leases of real estate generally provide that we pay for repairs, property taxes and insurance. Substantially all leases are classified as operating leases for accounting purposes. Rent expense under operating leases amounted to $10.4 million, $9.0 million and $10.9 million in 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively.

	NOTE 15. BUSINESS SEGMENTS
	Our determination of the two reportable segments was made on the basis of our strategic business units and the commonalities among the products and services within each segment, and corresponds to the manner in which management reviews and evaluates operating performance.
	During the fourth quarter of 2013, we made certain internal reporting structure changes. Our Automated Systems business, previously part of the JBT AeroTech segment is now included in the JBT FoodTech segment. This change was driven by a long term strategic view of our business. We believe including the Automated Systems component in the FoodTech segment will allow greater synergies among the food processing businesses and accelerate the application of Automated Systems technologies with our food processing customers. The tables below reflect this change. The total revenue for FoodTech increased approximately 7% and 8% in 2012 and 2011, respectively as a result of this change. The total revenue for AeroTech decreased approximately 11% in both 2012 and 2011 as a result of this change.
	Our reportable segments are:
		•		JBT FoodTech—designs, manufactures and services technologically sophisticated food processing systems used for, among other things, fruit juice production, frozen food production, in-container food production, automated systems and convenience food preparation by the food industry.
		•		JBT AeroTech—designs, manufactures and services technologically sophisticated ground support equipment, airport gate equipment and services for airport authorities, airlines, airfreight, ground handling companies, the military and other industries.
	Total revenue by segment includes intersegment sales, which are made at prices that reflect, as nearly as practicable, the market value of the transaction. Segment operating profit is defined as total segment revenue less segment operating expenses. The following items have been excluded in computing segment operating profit: corporate staff expense, foreign currency related gains and losses, LIFO provisions, restructuring costs, certain employee benefit expenses, interest income and expense and income taxes.

	Restructuring costs primarily consist of employee separation benefits under our existing severance programs, certain one-time termination benefits and contract termination costs.
	During the fourth quarter of 2013, we implemented a restructuring plan that included management restructuring both in the U.S. and in non-U.S. subsidiaries. We incurred severance costs of $1.6 million in connection with this plan based on the Company’s existing severance programs and other one-time termination benefits. All payments are expected to be made during 2014.
	In 2011, the Company implemented a cost reduction plan designed to grow margins by lowering costs in JBT FoodTech across the developed world. This plan consisted primarily of a work force reduction of approximately 115 positions. In connection with this plan, we incurred $10.3 million in severance and other expenses based on existing severance programs and foreign statutory termination benefits. This plan was substantially completed by the end of 2012.

Accounting_Policies_by_Policy_

Accounting Policies, by Policy (Policies)	12 Months Ended
	Dec. 31, 2013
Accounting Policies [Abstract]	'
Consolidation, Policy [Policy Text Block]	'
	Consolidation
	The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of John Bean Technologies Corporation and all wholly-owned subsidiaries. All intercompany investments, accounts, and transactions have been eliminated.
Use of Estimates, Policy [Policy Text Block]	'
	Use of estimates
	Preparation of financial statements that follow accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and notes. Actual amounts could differ from these estimates.
Cash and Cash Equivalents, Policy [Policy Text Block]	'
	Cash and cash equivalents
	Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash and highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less.
Inventory, Policy [Policy Text Block]	'
	Inventories
	Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value, which includes an estimate for excess and obsolete inventories. Inventory costs include those costs directly attributable to products, including all manufacturing overhead but excluding costs to distribute. Cost is determined on the last-in, first-out (“LIFO”) basis for all domestic inventories, except certain inventories relating to construction-type contracts, which are stated at the actual production cost incurred to date, reduced by the portion of these costs identified with revenue recognized. The first-in, first-out (“FIFO”) method is used to determine the cost for all other inventories.
Property, Plant and Equipment, Policy [Policy Text Block]	'
	Property, plant, and equipment
	Property, plant, and equipment are recorded at cost. Depreciation for financial reporting purposes is provided principally on the straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the assets (land improvements—20 to 35 years, buildings—20 to 50 years; and machinery and equipment—3 to 20 years). Gains and losses are reflected in other income, net on the consolidated statements of income upon the sale or retirement of assets. Expenditures that extend the useful lives of property, plant, and equipment are capitalized and depreciated over the estimated new remaining life of the asset.
Research, Development, and Computer Software, Policy [Policy Text Block]	'
	Capitalized software costs
	Other assets include the capitalized cost of internal use software (including Internet web sites). The assets are stated at cost less accumulated amortization and totaled $5.2 million and $5.9 million at December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. These software costs include significant purchases of software and internal and external costs incurred during the application development stage of software projects. These costs are amortized on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the assets. For internal use software, the useful lives range from three to ten years. For Internet web site costs, the estimated useful lives do not exceed three years.
Goodwill and Intangible Assets, Goodwill, Policy [Policy Text Block]	'
	Goodwill
	We test goodwill for impairment annually during the fourth quarter and whenever events occur or changes in circumstances indicate that impairment may have occurred. Impairment testing is performed for each of our reporting units by first assessing qualitative factors to see if further testing of goodwill is required. If we conclude that it is more likely than not that a reporting unit’s fair value is less than its carrying amount, then a quantitative test is required. We may also choose to bypass the qualitative assessment and perform the quantitative test. In performing the quantitative test, we determine the fair value of a reporting unit using the “income approach” valuation method. We use a discounted cash flow model in which cash flows anticipated over several periods, plus a terminal value at the end of that time horizon, are discounted to their present value using an appropriate cost of capital rate. Judgment is required in developing the assumptions for the discounted cash flow model. These assumptions include revenue growth rates, profit margin percentages, discount rates, perpetuity growth rates, future capital expenditures, and working capital requirements, among others. If the estimated fair value of a reporting unit exceeds its carrying value, goodwill is considered to not be impaired. If the carrying value exceeds estimated fair value, there is an indication of potential impairment, and we calculate an implied fair value of goodwill. The implied fair value is calculated as the difference between the fair value of the reporting unit and the fair value of the individual assets and liabilities of the reporting unit, excluding goodwill. An impairment charge is recorded for any excess of the carrying value over the implied fair value.
	Based on our 2013 annual assessment, we determined that none of our goodwill was impaired.
Intangible Assets, Finite-Lived, Policy [Policy Text Block]	'
	Intangible assets
	Our acquired intangible assets are being amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives, which generally range from 7 to 15 years. None of our acquired intangible assets have indefinite lives.
Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets, Policy [Policy Text Block]	'
	Impairment of long-lived assets
	Our long-lived assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the long-lived asset may not be recoverable. The carrying amount of a long-lived asset is not recoverable if it exceeds the sum of the undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use and eventual disposition of the asset. If it is determined that an impairment loss has occurred, the loss is measured as the amount by which the carrying amount of the long-lived asset exceeds its fair value.
Revenue Recognition, Policy [Policy Text Block]	'
	Revenue recognition
	We recognize product revenue when we have an agreement with the customer, the product has been delivered to the customer, the sales price is fixed or determinable and collectability is assured.
	Each customer arrangement is evaluated to determine the presence of multiple deliverables. For multiple-element revenue arrangements, such as the sale of equipment with a service agreement, we generally allocate the contract value to the various elements based on relative selling price for each element and recognize revenue consistent with the nature of each deliverable.
	Our standard agreements generally do not include customer acceptance provisions. However, if there is a customer acceptance provision, the associated revenue is deferred until we have satisfied the acceptance provision.
	Certain of our product sales are generated from construction-type contracts and revenue is recognized under the percentage of completion method. Under this method, revenue is recognized as work progresses on each contract. However, revenue recognition does not begin until a substantial portion of the labor hours are incurred to ensure that revenue is not accelerated for materials procurement. We primarily measure progress toward completion by the units of completion method. Any expected losses are charged to earnings, in total, in the period the losses are identified.
	Progress billings generally are issued upon the completion of certain phases of the work as stipulated in the contract. Revenue in excess of progress billings on contracts amounted to $56.8 million and $57.9 million at December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. These unbilled receivables are reported in trade receivables on the consolidated balance sheets. Progress billings and cash collections in excess of revenue recognized on a contract are classified as advance and progress payments on the consolidated balance sheets. All unbilled trade payables are accrued in other current liabilities when revenue is recognized. Unbilled trade payables were $2.7 million and $2.0 million at December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively.
	Service revenue is recognized either when performance is complete or proportionately over the period of the underlying contract, depending on the terms of the arrangement.
	Some of our operating lease revenue is earned from full-service leases for which we are paid annual fixed rates plus, in some cases, and additional amount based on production volumes. Revenue from production volumes is recognized when determinable and collectible.
	We provide an allowance for doubtful accounts on trade receivables equal to the estimated uncollectible amounts. This estimate is based on historical collection experience and a specific review of each customer’s trade receivable balance.
Income Tax, Policy [Policy Text Block]	'
	Income taxes
	Income taxes are provided on income reported for financial statement purposes, adjusted for permanent differences between financial statement reporting and income tax regulations. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates, and reflect the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between the carrying amounts and the tax bases of assets and liabilities. A valuation allowance is established whenever management believes that it is more likely than not that deferred tax assets may not be realizable.
	A liability for uncertain tax positions is recorded whenever management believes it is not more likely than not that the position will be sustained on examination based solely on its technical merits. Interest and penalties related to underpayment of income taxes are classified as income tax expense.
	Income taxes are not provided on undistributed earnings of foreign subsidiaries or affiliates when it is management’s intention that such earnings will remain invested in those companies. Taxes are provided on such earnings in the year in which the decision is made to repatriate the earnings.
Share-based Compensation, Option and Incentive Plans Policy [Policy Text Block]	'
	Stock-based employee compensation
	We measure compensation cost on restricted stock awards based on the market price of our common stock at the grant date and the number of shares awarded. The compensation cost for each award is recognized ratably over the lesser of the stated vesting period or the period until the employee becomes retirement eligible, after taking into account estimated forfeitures.
Foreign Currency Transactions and Translations Policy [Policy Text Block]	'
	Foreign currency
	Financial statements of operations for which the U.S. dollar is not the functional currency are translated to the U.S. dollar prior to consolidation. Assets and liabilities are translated at the exchange rate in effect at the balance sheet date, while income statement accounts are translated at the average exchange rate for each period. For these operations, translation gains and losses are recorded as a component of accumulated other comprehensive loss in stockholders’ equity until the foreign entity is sold or liquidated.
Derivatives, Policy [Policy Text Block]	'
	Derivative financial instruments
	Derivatives are recognized in the consolidated balance sheets at fair value, with classification as current or non-current based upon the maturity of the derivative instrument. We do not offset fair value amounts for derivative instruments held with the same counterparty. Changes in the fair value of derivative instruments are recorded in current earnings or deferred in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss), depending on the type of hedging transaction and whether a derivative is designated as, and is effective as, a hedge.
	We elected to discontinue the use of hedge accounting for all foreign currency derivative positions entered into since July of 2008. Accordingly, the changes in fair value of these contracts are recognized in earnings as they occur and, to the extent derivatives economically hedge existing assets or liabilities as opposed to anticipated transactions, offset gains or losses on the remeasurement of the related asset or liability. In the consolidated statements of income, earnings from foreign currency derivatives related to sales and remeasurement of sales-related assets, liabilities and contracts are recorded in revenue, while earnings from foreign currency derivatives related to purchases and remeasurement of purchase-related assets, liabilities and contracts are recorded in cost of sales. These gains and losses are excluded from our measure of segment operating profit and are reflected in other expense, net in the reconciliation of segment operating profit to income before income taxes.
	When hedge accounting is applied, we ensure that the derivative is highly effective at offsetting changes in anticipated cash flows of the hedged item or transaction. Changes in fair value of derivatives that are designated as cash flow hedges are deferred in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) until the underlying transactions are recognized in earnings. At such time, related deferred hedging gains or losses are also recorded in earnings on the same line as the hedged item. Effectiveness is assessed at the inception of the hedge and on a quarterly basis. Effectiveness of forward contract cash flow hedges is assessed based solely on changes in fair value attributable to the change in the spot rate. The change in the fair value of the contract related to the change in forward rates is excluded from the assessment of hedge effectiveness. Changes in this excluded component of the derivative instrument, along with any ineffectiveness identified, are recorded in earnings as incurred. We document our risk management strategy and method for assessing hedge effectiveness at the inception of and throughout the term of each hedge.
	Cash flows from derivative contracts are reported in the consolidated statements of cash flows in the same categories as the cash flows from the underlying transactions.
New Accounting Pronouncements, Policy [Policy Text Block]	'
	Recently issued and adopted accounting pronouncements
	In February 2013, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued guidance that requires an entity to disclose information showing the effect of items reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive income on the line items of net income. The provisions of this new guidance were effective prospectively as of the beginning of our 2013 fiscal year. Accordingly, we adopted this standard in the first quarter of 2013.
	In December 2011, the FASB issued new disclosure requirements that are intended to enhance current disclosures on offsetting financial assets and liabilities. The new disclosures require an entity to disclose both gross and net information about derivative instruments accounted for in accordance with the guidance on derivatives and hedging that are eligible for offset on the balance sheet, and instruments and transactions subject to an agreement similar to a master netting arrangement. We adopted this standard in the first quarter of 2013.
