1. A dough processing device comprising:
a conveyor configured to convey dough in a production direction; and
a rolling station, wherein the rolling station comprises:
a satellite roller having a drum and at least two rollers configured to engage the dough, wherein the drum is rotatable about a drum axis, and the rollers are revolvable about the drum axis by rotation of the drum, wherein the drum has two plates and the rollers are each disposed between the two plates, and wherein a distance oriented parallelly with respect to the drum axis is provided between the plates and each of the rollers, respectively,
a counter roller disposed opposite the satellite roller and configured to rotate about a counter roller axis, wherein the rolling station is configured to roll the dough between the satellite roller and the counter roller, and
a first guiding element comprising a disc having a central axis offset relative to the counter roller axis, the first guiding element configured to confine an evasion of the dough in a first confinement direction oriented transversely with respect to the production direction, wherein the first guiding element is further configured to support the conveying of the dough, wherein the distance is dimensioned to at least partially receive the first guiding element, and wherein the disc of the first guiding element comprises a rotary disc.
