The Best Output Per Square Foot in the Industry

Our team at JD Manufacturing Inc has over 60 years of combined experience in the snack food industry, systems automation, and custom machinery design. This experience allows us to work directly with our customers to provide an equipment line perfectly tailored to meet their every need. Whether expanding an old line or designing a brand new facility, we are here to see the process through from inception to final product.

  • Core Processing & Frying Systems
    • Automatic Batch Fryers (JD325 & JD600CXI): Compact designs boasting the greatest output per square foot in the industry. Models scale up to 600 lb/hr (272 kg/hr) of finished product and feature 80%+ high-efficiency electropolished burner tubes , redundant low-oil safety shutoffs , and lifetime frying support.
    • Batch Peelers: Automated, high-capacity peeling systems engineered for consistent, high-quality potato and root vegetable preparation.
    • Industrial Centrifuges (De-Oilers): High-efficiency oil extraction systems scaled to your production, featuring optional flue-heated recovery and automatic oil return.
    • Automated Stirrers: Twin nonstick automatic stirrers utilizing variable-speed controlled motors. This open design guarantees positive product separation and highly responsive frying control while eliminating overhead motors.

Oil Management & Energy Recovery

    • Oil Handling Tanks: Robust 420-gallon (1,590-liter) and 700-gallon (2,650-liter) capacity storage tanks featuring automatic three-way valves , analog level indicators , and built-in recirculation features for effortless cleaning.
    • Inline Heat Exchangers: Maximize facility efficiency by recovering waste heat directly from your fryer’s exhaust. Extract up to 250,000 BTU (75kW) for water heating or 120,000 BTU (35kW) for ambient air heating.

Precision Feeding & Batching

    • Singulators & Dual Infeeds: Precision subtractive weighing systems featuring smart anti-bridging geometry and pneumatic kickers. For high-volume lines, our heavy-duty dual reversing infeed systems feature a massive 500 lb (227 kg) hopper capacity for rapid, continuous processing.

Material Handling & Conveyance

    • Linear Motion Conveyors: Fully washdown-rated for harsh environments with a 100% duty cycle. They feature a hygienic pan-style design for simple wipe-down sanitation and can be synchronized indefinitely for seamless, full-factory conveyance.
    • Elevating & Takeout Conveyors: Custom-built transport solutions featuring tilt-out and extended takeout designs for easy sanitation and obstruction-free maintenance access.
    • Inspection Conveyors & Holding Bins: Ergonomic quality control conveyors and high-capacity staging solutions to regulate product flow and eliminate bottlenecks.

Exhaust, Filtration & Emission Control

    • JD Demisters: Advanced vertical flow mist scrubbers that eliminate 99.5% of oil droplets >18µm to drastically reduce steam, oil, and odor emissions. Systems include an integrated CIP spray wash and optional perfumers for superior odor masking.
    • Ventilation Hoods: Custom-fitted, retractable ventilation hoods engineered to seamlessly integrate with our fryers and demisters to maintain pristine facility air quality.
    • Fines & Particulate Removal: Gentle stainless wiper systems that drag debris from the fryer bottom to preserve the cold zone and extend oil life.

Custom Automation, Engineering & Global Standards

    • Advanced Control Systems: Powerful PLC-based controls featuring intuitive touch screens and ultrasonic oil level sensors with analog oil level feedback. Systems include tiered user access, recipe management, and secure remote control support and diagnostics.
    • CAD Support & Expert Consultation: Precision facility mapping to maximize your specific output per square foot, backed by decades of specialized snack food industry experience.
    • Global Reach & Certifications: Our equipment is CE certified, and our control panels carry both UL and cUL/CSA (Canadian) certifications. We proudly design, build, and export our machinery to over 16 countries across every developed continent.

Every plant has its own unique footprint. That is why our equipment is intentionally designed to be fully adaptable, integrating seamlessly into both brand-new builds and existing operations. Bring us your toughest requirements, and let us help you design a process that maximizes your efficiency, productivity, and peace of mind.
