@gilbert jerald,

Attached is your model with the changes that I've made to it.

In Processor1, I added 10 labels, two for each itemtype. TypeXTotal is the total numberof that itemtype that you want sent to the shipping area queue. TypeXCurr is the total number of that itemtype that has come through the processor.

In the Send To Port code area, I added code that adds to the correct TypeXCurr label for each itemtype exiting Processor1. If TypeXCurr <= TypeXTotal, then I return a 1 to send the flowitem out port 1. Otherwise if the max for that itemtype has been reached, I return a 2 to send the flowitem to the sink.

Take a look at the model and see if this is what you were looking for and if that will work for your situation.
