I am modelling the entry and processing of some products, and in the processor sandvick, i want to process first a specific number of items being that, the number assigned to the label "Lote", and then process the next batch, I dont know if its possible to do that by a pull strategy or how can i be able to achieve that?

I'm not sure how the various inputs into the processor are supposed to be handled in your model. But a simple approach would be to batch items (tokens) into a single token. This token then 'acquires' the processor, blocking other tokens/batches from progessing further before it has finished. And then releases the items to the processor one by one.

Note that the queue in the attached model is set to "Do Not Release Items".
