Abstract: A dough processing machine for treating products in the food industry may comprise at least two workstations arranged consecutively along a transport path of products, where operation of the workstation, in a direction of transport being the first one, depends on a first performance parameter L1 and operation of the workstation, in the direction of transport being the second one, depends on a second performance parameter L2. The dough processing machine may further comprise a control unit which is connected to the workstations for adjusting the performance parameters, and an input device connected to the control unit via which a factor F = L 1 L 2 can be adjusted. The control unit is configured to adjust the performance parameters of the first workstation and the second workstation as a function of F and to leave all other factors F nm = L n L m unchanged, where Ln, Lm are performance parameters of different workstations n, m.
