Abstract: An apparatus for grinding particulate material having a roller press having a pair of grinding rollers each having a rotation axis and being arranged oppositely and parallel to define a grinding roller gap in a common plane through the axes of the rollers, and a mechanical conveying device for conveying granular material to the roller press having a proximal end and a distal end relative to the roller press, the roller press being arranged at the proximal end of the conveying device. The conveying device is arranged to constrain a flow or mat of the granular material having in a cross sectional view a rectangular shape with a mid-plane and to transfer the flow or mat of granular material directly to the grinding roller gap of the roller press in a linear transfer plane being coincident with the mid-plane and perpendicular to the common plane through the axes of the rollers.
