Conveyor Capacity with Takt for every flow item

I need to send the flow item to the sink with a capacity maintaining upto 5 from DP2 to DP3 and send one flow item every 4 minutes to sink. I tried with Area restriction and Stop and delay but all the flowitems are exiting at once.template-1.fsm

I'm not sure what the issue is. When I run your model, the items have a 'distance' of 4 minutes between them after passing DP2. (Technically a distance of 4min plus one item length plus the distance to the next 'dog')

In what way should be situation be different?
