Split objects in Seperator by rate

Hi
I have a model where the separator has to split a single pipe into 5 pieces with 20 seconds as cycle time. The issue is I don't want 5 pipes after 20 seconds, instead, I need each pipe at intervals of 4 secs.

Thanks in advance

You could use a process time of 0 in the separator and send the items to a processor with a process time of 4s. The items would all be created immediately but leave the processor in a 4s interval.

You could also hold the items via the sendtoport trigger and instead release them through port 1 at 4 seconds intervals using a delayed message. It may not be as transparent as a process flow.
