It is not quite clear what your actual question is. I'll give a couple general tips below. Could you elaborate on what you mean if those don't answer the question?

In the most simple way, doing what you describe would just mean to create a set number of pallets in the queue and connect it to the conveyor. A throughput limitation could be realized by closing and opening the queues output in the first conveyor's triggers.

One thing I noticed: In the "Wait for Event" activity, you might want to wait for the specific pallet the tokens belongs to to enter the queue. Otherwise all tokens that are waiting will resume as soon as any of the pallets reach the queue. Which results in items still on the conveyor getting deleted.
