Every recipe is different—and your food machine needs to know that. Whether you're producing soft cakes or dense doughs, adjusting settings correctly can mean the difference between perfect output and product waste.

Here’s how to make simple, smart adjustments depending on what you're working with.

1. Understand the Key Settings First

Each food machine may vary slightly, but common adjustable features include:

• Mixing speed

• Temperature (for heated machines)

• Filling volume

• Sealing or cutting pressure

Before making any changes, make sure your staff understands what each setting does. If it’s digital, even better—let them test on a small batch first.

2. Match the Setting to the Product’s Texture

Is your product liquid, creamy, or chunky? Soft batters require gentler mixing speeds, while thicker fillings may need higher pressure during portioning. Dry snacks often need faster cutting, while sauces might require slower, steady flow.

Keep a log of settings that work best for each item. You’ll thank yourself next time.

3. Run a Test and Adjust Gradually

Never go full speed from the start. Begin with conservative settings, observe the output, and tweak one variable at a time. This helps pinpoint what’s working (or not) without causing downtime or waste.

Consistency isn’t magic—it’s data + patience. Proper adjustment keeps your food machine performing at its best, no matter the product type. The more you understand your settings, the more control you have over quality and speed. Need machines that adapt easily to your menu? Visit hg-machine.com to explore flexible solutions.
