The combiner has to combine then 9 or 11 items from input port 2. And the side exit transfer must be as long as the number of items to leave together the conveyor.The input of the combiner is closed. If enough items are available to be packed into the first item leaving the combiner, then the DP is opening the input of the combiner and the location of all items are stored to be used in the combiner to build a packed container looking the same as on the conveyor. The combiner just packs the items and releases them instantly to side conveyor.
If you have a variable amount of items transferring then you have to update the components list by a global table and the label type of the first item entering the combiner through input port number one In the OnEntry trigger of the combiner.

@Cafe X I agree the code in this model is complex and probably isn't the best way to accomplish the objective, but that's hard to say because who knows what the real object was?? I would suggest you create another Answers post if you have an interest in solving a particular modeling scenario and do a thorough job of explaining your true objectives. I wish you luck!

basically i have something similar to the example above.

the objective is to pack 12 flowitem at the end of conveyor 1 and send it in row (of 12) into conveyor 2.

thanks

There is a an Exit Transfer (white square surface) on the side of the conveyor. This is an object. If you pick it, then you see arrow shaped red handles to drag the side along the conveyor larger. Please see into the manual working with transfer objects section expanding the range of a transfer.
