1. An inlet arrangement for a roller mill comprising:
a storage container with at least one milling material inlet (3) and at least one milling material outlet,
at least one metering device arranged in the storage container for metering a milling material into a milling gap of the roller mill through the milling material outlet,
a force transducer arranged on the storage container for determining a weight force exerted by the milling material, and
a control unit which is connected or connectable to the force transducer, wherein the inlet arrangement further comprises:, a level sensor arranged on the storage container for determining when a milling material level is reached in the storage container,, the control unit is connected or connectable to the level sensor,, the control unit is designed to determine a first fill level of the storage container from the weight force determined by the force transducer, and, the control unit is further designed to determine a characteristic fill level curve based on the determined first fill level and the milling material level determined by the level sensor.
