The present invention relates to a grinder roller for use in a grinder roller pair, in particular a grain roller pair, comprising at least one sensor for the detection of measured values which characterize a state of the grinder roller, wherein the sensor is arranged in a receiving opening of the grinder roller, at least one data transmitter for the contactless transmission of the measured values of the at least one sensor to a data receiver, wherein the sensor is enclosed in the receiving opening by means of a cap made from ceramic material. Furthermore, the present invention relates to a corresponding grinder roller pair, to a production plant which comprises a grinder roller pair of this type, to a corresponding cap, to a kit consisting of a corresponding cap and a fastening device, and to a method for operating a product processing plant of this type.

Roller with a sensor

A method of producing flour and/or semolina by raw material being fed into a feed opening of a roller press. The milling gap of the roller press is fixed, or damping of at least one of the rollers with respect to the lateral deflection is set, such that a first subset of the fill containing finer milling material forms a packed particle fill in the milling gap. In addition, the setting is carried out in such a way that individual particles of a second subset of the fill containing coarser milling material are in contact with the first roller and the second roller of the roller press. Subsequently, the bulk material is milled into milled product in the roller press () and the milled product is discharged through a discharge opening.
