We are trying to simulate a bottle separator line. In the first stage, the source creates one box containing 6 bottles. The separator then removes the 6 bottles from the box and places them onto Straight Conveyor 1, while the empty carton is placed onto Straight Conveyor 2. However, the output from the separator is not uniform. The conveyor speed is 21.33 inches/second, and the required output is 160 bottles per minute (BPM). The pitch between two bottles should be 8 inches. I need to maintain a constant pitch between the bottles on the conveyor without changing the conveyor speed.

Then you have to adjust the process time of the separator. This object must release enough items to get a constant stream of bottles. 
If the box is causing an additional delay, then you may think about to add a queue between separator and box conveyor.
