Abstract: A method of lining up portions of slices of food, the portions are transported by a belt conveyor on a plurality of tracks along a conveying direction, one of the plurality of tracks is selected as a first reference track, conveying speeds of a remainder of the plurality of tracks excluding the first reference track are adapted in such a way that the portions are arranged in straight rows arranged orthogonally to the conveying direction when the portions reach a lining-up position, and when the lining-up position is reached, the conveying speeds of the plurality of tracks including the first reference track are aligned to one another.

Abstract: A method for presenting parameters of a food machine, a food processing machine, or a food packaging machine, by a display device, where a memory stores a first recipe that includes multiple parameters that each have an assigned first parameter value and stores a second recipe that includes multiple parameters that each have an assigned second parameter value; where in an ascertainment step, a parameter is ascertained that is contained in the first recipe and in the second recipe and that has an assigned first parameter value of the first recipe and an assigned second parameter value of the second recipe, which differ from each other; and in a first display step, the display device is used to display the first parameter value and the second parameter value for the ascertained parameter at the same time.

Abstract: A method for operating a first food machine and a second food machine, where a data set required to operate the first food machine is stored in a first storage unit of the first food machine, and the data set required to operate the first food machine is additionally stored in a second storage unit of the second food machine.
