Use a combiner with process flow

I have 3 sources that create 3 items. I want to combine them in a combiner using the process flow, but if the operator introduces a box in the combiner, it already starts working.
I´m also not very clear on what to do when i have 3 tokens.

Hello @Oscar C13, take a look at the attached model. I recommend you not to use the Combiner object when modelling the batch process by using Process Flow. In fact, I have used a generic queue to model this activity.

Also, pay attention at how I used a Process Flow zone to model the processor´s capacity.

But if I want the 3 boxes that were in the queue to become a single box of another color? How do i handle it?

HI @Oscar C13, then you shoud destroy two of the three boxes and change the first box visual. Take a look at the attached model and how this can be done with Process Flow.

¿Puedes decirme por qué no me funciona? el operador no va a MesaEnzima después de colocar el primer elemento en el reactor (el reactor es una cola). Creo que hice lo mismo que su modelo.
