Help in an Advance option for Separator

I have created 3 different sources, each labeled by numbers from 1 to 3, each have a different target quantity before the Combiner starts to operate:

My issue lies in when I need to unpack the item in the separator, I only know how to use the Round Robin method, is there any way to unpack and send each individual item to its rightful path?

The result of using the round-robin method made the items get separated randomly. For context, the target quantity for each item is 1 handler, 140 steel, and 3 wheels, and each has its own unique shape.

You need an attribute to distinguish between the different types, typically a number label. On Flow tab of the separator you can set a Send To property Port By Case. There you evaluate the label and set the output port number the item must be sent to.
