Factorio – 3 to 1 belt balancer

October 20, 2017 blufgaming_p21ggb Leave a comment

Here is our Factorio tutorial showing how to build a 3 to 1 belt balancer that reduces the number of belts used while drawing an even amount from each incoming belt.

This 3 to 1 belt balancer is particularly useful at train depots, as two of them are sufficient to provide egress for all 6 inserters capable of unloading from one side of a single train car. If you are carrying two items on each belt, each segregated into their own lane, this belt balancer will keep those items separate in the same lanes after they’re combined into 1.

Factorio – 2 to 6 belt balanced splitter

This Factorio tutorial demonstrates how to build a balanced 2 to 6 belt splitter.

This belt balancer is very useful at train depots. Each train car can only be accessed by 6 inserters from each side, so a 1 to 6 or 2 to 6 belt splitter is often needed. This design shows you how to build such a splitter that provides an equal amount of items to each of the outgoing 6 belts. Providing an equal amount ensures that all your inserters are able to work for the same amount of time, decreasing the amount of time your trains have to wait in the depot to be loaded.

This Factorio tutorial shows how to evenly split 2 belts into 5 balanced outgoing belts.

Occasionally you’ll have two belts full of an item and you’ll want to split it into 5 outgoing belts that all receive an equal amount of items. This Factorio tutorial describes two methods of achieving this and details the inner workings of the mechanisms used.

This video shows how to split two belts into 3 balanced belts.

This Factorio tutorial demonstrates how to split 2 belts into 3 outgoing belts in a balanced fashion, rather than just leaving a single belt alone while splitting a second 50/50. This technique can be useful for evenly loading buffer chests at a train depot, since a train car can only be reached by 6 inserters per side.

Factorio – 2 to few belt balanced splitters

Here are a few Factorio 0.15 x designs to split 2 incoming belts into 1, 2, or 4 balanced outgoing belts.

These belt balancers ensure that an even amount of items are taken from the feeder belts before they are distributed to the exit belts. These three designs are all very simple, so we’ve combined them into a single video.
