Representing a singulator using conveyors

I would like to represet a automated singulator (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m0tP36MqvXE) using conveyors. The system starts with accumulated and stacked items, as if they had been dropped, the different types of tests, gradually separate th items, be shipped separately.

The difficult have been delete the entry space between the items, or something like that. How can i do that?

Software Version:

FlexSim 22.0.16

Hello, @Maíra A , you want to remove the value of the entry space to be as close to the shared video as possible: items moving on conveyor disorganized/piled up?

Hi @Maíra A! On further inspection I think this question can help you more, it gives a lot of conveyor examples and shows how you can model them (including a singulator):
