Default Flowitem unloading from conveyor

Dear Friends,
In my model i am using a operator to transfer the flow item from conveyor to queue. Even if i change the capacity of operator to 2 or 3 also he carries only one flowitem from conveyor. How to make the operator to collect flow items from end of a conveyor based capacity of the operator.
Regards,
Manoj.

Hello Manoj,

If you take a look at the manual is says:
"The Conveyor will only receive one flowitem at a time, and will only release one flowitem at a time. What this means is that, if flow items are being transported into or out of the conveyor using a Task Executer, only one flowitem can ever be in transit into it, and only one can wait for a transport to pick it up from the conveyor at a time."

You will have to put a queue at the end of the conveyor if you want an operator to pick up more items at once. You could give the queue the appearance of a conveyor.
