	Note 1. Description of Business and Basis of Presentation
	Description of Business
	John Bean Technologies Corporation and its majority-owned consolidated subsidiaries (“JBT” or “we”) provide global technology solutions for the food processing and air transportation industries. We design, manufacture, test and service technologically sophisticated systems and products for customers through our JBT FoodTech and JBT AeroTech segments. We have manufacturing operations worldwide and are strategically located to facilitate delivery of our products and services to our customers.
	Basis of Presentation
	The preceding condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2013, which has been derived from audited financial statements, and unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements, together with the notes thereto (the “statements”), of JBT have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. As permitted under those rules, certain footnotes and other financial information that are normally required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States has been condensed or omitted. Therefore, these statements should be read in conjunction with the audited annual consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013.
	In the opinion of management, the statements reflect all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair presentation of our financial condition and operating results as of and for the periods presented. Revenue, expenses, assets and liabilities can vary during each quarter of the year. Therefore, the results and trends in these statements may not be representative of those for the full year or any future period.
	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.

Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities Disclosure [Text Block]	'
	Note 6. Derivative Financial Instruments and Risk Management
	Derivative Financial Instruments
	We hold derivative financial instruments for the purpose of hedging foreign currency risks for 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 March 31, 2014, we held forward foreign exchange contracts with an aggregate notional value of $428.7 million.
	The following table presents the fair value of foreign currency derivatives included within the condensed consolidated balance sheets:
				As of March 31, 2014								As of December 31, 2013
	(In millions)			Derivative				Derivative				Derivative			Derivative
				Assets				Liabilities				Assets			Liabilities
	Other current assets / liabilities			$	3.1			$	3			$	5.8		$	3
	Other assets / liabilities				2.4				0.4				2.6			0.6
		Total		$	5.5			$	3.4			$	8.4		$	3.6
	Refer to Note 7. 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 in order 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 our derivatives at gross fair values in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. As of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, information related to these offsetting arrangements was as follows:

	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 the losses are established based on collectability assessments.

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract]	'
Fair Value Disclosures [Text Block]	'
	Note 7. Fair Value of Financial Instruments
	The fair value framework requires the categorization of assets and liabilities measured at fair value 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 March 31, 2014														As of December 31, 2013
	(In millions)				Total				Level 1				Level 2				Level 3		Total		Level 1		Level 2		Level 3
	Assets:
		Investments			$	12			$	12			$	-			$	-	$	11.9	$	11.9	$	-	$	-
		Derivatives			$	5.5				-				5.5				-	$	8.4		-		8.4		-
			Total assets		$	17.5			$	12			$	5.5			$	-	$	20.3	$	11.9	$	8.4	$	-
	Liabilities:
		Derivatives			$	3.4			$	-			$	3.4			$	-	$	3.6	$	-	$	3.6	$	-
	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 in other assets on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. Investments include an unrealized gain of $0.1 million as of March 31, 2014 and an unrealized gain of $0.5 million as of December 31, 2013.
	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 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 are summarized in the table below:
			As of March 31, 2014								As of December 31, 2013
	(In millions)		Carrying				Estimated				Carrying				Estimated
			Value				Fair Value				Value				Fair Value
	Senior unsecured notes due July 31, 2015		$	75			$	80			$	75			$	80.7
	Revolving credit facility, expires November 30, 2017			2.3				2.3				16.5				16.5
	Brazilian loan due August 20, 2014			2				2				4				4
	Brazilian loan due April 15, 2016			3.5				3.1				3.4				2.9
	Foreign credit facilities			0.6				0.6				1				1
	Other			-				-				0.5				0.5
	There is no active or observable market for our fixed rate borrowings, which include our senior unsecured notes and our Brazilian loans. Therefore, the estimated fair value of the notes and the Brazilian 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.

	Note 8. Commitments and Contingencies
	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 such 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 $87.7 million at March 31, 2014, represent guarantees of our future performance. We also have provided approximately $6.2 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 March 31, 2014, the maximum future payment obligation under such guarantees was $2.7 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 condensed consolidated 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:

	NOTE 10. RESTRUCTURING
	Restructuring costs primarily consist of employee separation benefits under our existing severance programs, foreign statutory termination benefits, certain one-time termination benefits, contract termination costs, asset impairment charges and other costs that are associated with restructuring actions. Restructuring charges are determined based on estimates prepared at the time the restructuring actions were approved by the management and also include amounts recognized as incurred.
	During the fourth quarter of 2013, we implemented a restructuring plan that included management changes both in the U.S. and in non-U.S. subsidiaries. We incurred severance costs of $1.6 million in connection with this plan in the fourth quarter of 2013; such costs were determined based on the Company’s existing severance programs and other one-time termination benefits arrangements. We made payments of approximately $1.1 million under this plan in the first quarter of 2014 and expect to complete the plan within 2014.
	In the first quarter of 2014, we implemented a plan to optimize the overall JBT cost structure on a global basis. The initiatives under this plan include streamlining operations, consolidating certain facilities and enhancing the Company’s general and administrative infrastructure. The total estimated cost in connection with this plan is in the range of $12 million to $13 million with $10.2 million recorded in the first quarter of 2014. We anticipate incurring approximately $2 million to $3 million by the end of 2014. All payments required under this plan are expected to be made during 2014 and 2015.
	Additional information regarding the restructuring charges for all ongoing activities is presented in the table below:
