A system and method for flaking. The system includes a stationary roller, and moveable roller, and an adjustable fixator applying tension between the stationary and moveable rollers. The fixator includes a pressure transducer and a linear indicator. The transducer and indicator allow the fixator to read pressures and make fine adjustments to the fixator to obtain a desired gap between the two rollers.

A process and system for monitoring of wear on components of a grinding mill to determine an optimized future time for maintenance of the grinding mill. The system uses control circuitry for controlling the grinding mill, a sensory system for detecting measurement data on technical parameters relating to a wear condition of a component and an operating state of the grinding mill, analysis circuitry to analyze a wear behavior of the grinding mill, and a data transmitter and data receiver to exchange data. The sensory system detects measurement data on the wear condition of at least one component and the operating state of the grinding mill. The analysis circuitry derives from several pieces of measurement data detected at different times a future wear state at a time in the future and assigns the future wear state to a future degree of wear and a future maintenance loss.

A self-optimizing, adaptive product processing system and a corresponding method for grinding and/or crushing cereals and seeds. The grinding and/or crushing takes place in at least one roller mill which includes a roller pair. So as to detect the temperature of the surfaces of the rollers, at least two temperature sensors are disposed on at least one of the rollers. The detected temperature measurement values are used for optimal adjustment and signal generation of the roller setting.
