Operator that separated many products from a conveyor

Hello, thanks for pay attention. I need to create a model that simulate a manual separator of garbage. The process start when the garbage arrive at conveyor which is transported and separated for many people (operator), for example the first operator have separate 3 products (paper, paperboard, plastic), and put in bags (one bag for one products) other operator, after the first person, must also separate other products and even the same products. It is my problem, I don't have simulated this situation, when I create my model I cannot do that the operator separated some products and how he put in a specific bag, I attached the model and a drawn. Thanks for your help :).

@ferny.g

Here is a sample model that is similar to your objective. The items coming onto the conveyor must have a Type label so that the Operator knows where to place the item once taken off. You can add further customization by adding tasks and events to the Process Flow.

thanks for your answer, It is similar that I need, but I have a problem when the operator unload the flow-item appear a error, I think that is because operator don't find location. Thanks for your help :)

The error is because you are trying to access the Type label,which is null. If you look when you assign it, you assign it the value token.item.type, which means the type label of the value of item. None of your flow items have a type label, so there is no value to assign.
