JD Manufacturing, Inc. recently announced a successful partnership with Bison to enhance its automatic batch fryer system. By integrating Bison’s Nautilair 12.3″ High Energy Blower into the JD500CXI fryer, JDM was able to significantly increase the fryer’s output capacity while optimizing energy usage.
The Nautilair blower was seamlessly integrated into the existing fryer enclosure without the need for any alterations to its size. This integration was made possible due to the blower’s compatibility with JDM’s 480V, 3-phase power setup. Furthermore, the Nautilair blower is designed to withstand the harsh conditions of a food production environment, including exposure to moisture, oil-contaminated air, and aerosolized caustic substances.
As a result of this collaboration, the fryer’s output capacity was boosted from 500 to 600 lbs. of kettle chips per hour. This increase in efficiency not only benefits JDM but also allows their customers to reduce fuel consumption and minimize their environmental impact.
Jordan Loughney, senior applications engineer for Bison, expressed his satisfaction with the partnership, stating, “Partnering with JD Manufacturing to enhance their fryer system has been a rewarding experience. Our Nautilair blower technology has proven its ability to support high-performance applications while maintaining efficiency. We are excited to see JDM achieve such impressive results, which reflect both their innovation and the reliability of our solutions.”
Joshua Smith, controls engineer at JDM, highlighted the impressive power density of the upgraded system, stating, “The power density is astounding. We upgraded from a 1 HP AC motor to a 7.5 HP DC motor, all within the same space.”
The successful integration of Bison’s Nautilair blower into JDM’s automatic batch fryer not only demonstrates the capabilities of both companies but also showcases the potential for innovation and efficiency in the food production industry. By optimizing energy usage and increasing output capacity, JDM is setting a new standard for fryer systems in the market.
Moving forward, JD Manufacturing, Inc. and Bison are committed to further collaboration and innovation to continue enhancing the performance and efficiency of their products. With a focus on sustainability and environmental impact, both companies are dedicated to providing cutting-edge solutions that benefit not only their businesses but also the broader food production industry.
In conclusion, the partnership between JD Manufacturing, Inc. and Bison has proven to be a successful endeavor, resulting in a significant improvement in the performance and efficiency of the automatic batch fryer system. By leveraging Bison’s Nautilair blower technology, JDM has been able to increase output capacity, optimize energy usage, and reduce environmental impact. This collaboration serves as a testament to the power of innovation and partnership in driving progress and excellence in the food production industry.
