A machine for reducing giveaway material from a plurality of mint products each having different physical parameters, according to a method of reducing giveaway material, wherein the method comprises the steps of: a) evaluating at least one physical parameter of a given mint product to be processed, said at least one physical parameter being representative of an initial weight; b) comparing said at least one physical parameter with a minimum threshold physical parameter being representative of weight also in order to determine an attainable range of giveaway material to be removed; c) projecting a targeted amount of giveaway material to be removed from the mint product to be processed depending on the attainable range of giveaway material; and d) removing the targeted amount of giveaway material via at least one surface of the mint product ; and wherein the machine comprises: - a conveying assembly for conveying a plurality of mint products to be processed; - a processing assembly for processing at least one given mint product according to steps a) to d), the processing assembly comprising a weighing assembly for weighing the mint product to be processed according to step a), a scanning assembly for scanning the mint product to be processed and for generating a corresponding profile thereof according to step c), and a material-removal assembly for removing giveaway material from the mint product ; wherein said step c) comprises geometrically calculating, in the form of volume, the targeted amount of giveaway material to be removed from the mint product to be processed based on the initial weight of the mint product having been evaluated in step a) and a volumetric or geometric scanning of the mint product ; and - a recuperating assembly for recuperating mint products having being processed. a) evaluating at least one physical parameter of a given mint product to be processed, said at least one physical parameter being representative of an initial weight; b) comparing said at least one physical parameter with a minimum threshold physical parameter being representative of weight also in order to determine an attainable range of giveaway material to be removed; c) projecting a targeted amount of giveaway material to be removed from the mint product to be processed depending on the attainable range of giveaway material; and d) removing the targeted amount of giveaway material via at least one surface of the mint product ; and - a conveying assembly for conveying a plurality of mint products to be processed; - a processing assembly for processing at least one given mint product according to steps a) to d), the processing assembly comprising a weighing assembly for weighing the mint product to be processed according to step a), a scanning assembly for scanning the mint product to be processed and for generating a corresponding profile thereof according to step c), and a material-removal assembly for removing giveaway material from the mint product ; wherein said step c) comprises geometrically calculating, in the form of volume, the targeted amount of giveaway material to be removed from the mint product to be processed based on the initial weight of the mint product having been evaluated in step a) and a volumetric or geometric scanning of the mint product ; and - a recuperating assembly for recuperating mint products having being processed. <EOS>
