How to clear parts from buffer?

If the frequency of delivering the parts to the buffer for subassembly in average is every 3 min and also the frequency of clearing the sub assembled parts from the buffer is every 3 min. Then, how should I clear the parts from the Queue and also from the sink?

Are you saying that every 3 min, something consumes/takes a bunch of parts from a buffer?

Here is a basic model. Parts come in to the system through the 3D source, on average every 30 minutes. They are put in a Queue. The Queue pushes items to a list. Tokens come (on average every 30 minutes) and pull items from the list, and move them to another Queue.
