Stack Pallets with Loads - Pallet Packing Method

I want to stack tow pallets with single load on each pallet like shown in the picture below

However, it seems that if I use a dummy pallets to pack, it makes them stack like this

I am using "Simple" packing method on the dummy pallet.

I am using a dummy pallet because this stacked load gets separated downstream using a separator.

What is it that I am missing? Probably adjust the spatial offsets?

Hi @Amit Kulkarni, you should be able to get away with not using the dummy pallets. I just added 2 connections from the conveyor to the combiner and changed the combiner packing list to be 1. Then I updated the "pallet" flowitem pack contents to be simple. They stack and separate just fine now.

Thank you! I had completely forgotten that we can have two connectors to a combiner from the same object!
