I assume you want to process 20 products at once. Then something like processing 4 products and 1 product leaves an object is not your intention.

The general idea behind a solution is:

  • You collect 20 products,
  • you destroy 19 products,
  • you duplicate 4 products.

You collect 20 products and release 1 product is a process of a combiner object in 3D model or of a batch activity in Process Flow.

You split a product into 5 is a process of a separater object in a 3D model or a create object activity in Process Flow.

By source code you achieve this by methods of destroy and copy.

Another way is to use a BasicFR and use a process flow to receive 20 items before the processing delay and then release 5 and destroy the rest. Wait until the 5 have exited before receiving another 20. This is simplest to implement in an object process flow. In this way you don't have to worry about the capacity of two fixed resources and the need to manage them through, say, opening and closing input ports.
