Angpaur Posted March 3, 2019 Share Posted March 3, 2019 I cannot figure out why in below setup the upper sieve each few seconds reports pipe blocked and stops sieving for a moment. I put a bridge right before the upper resrvoir to merge packets from both sieves. Packets are coming as 5kg so should be merged without a problem. Can somebody see what is wrong here? Thanks EDIT: I found reason of the problem - pipe before the bridge was too short. There must be at least one pipe segment more. I rebuild it like below and now all works fine: Sorry to bother.

Angpaur Posted March 4, 2019 Author Share Posted March 4, 2019 I was merging with a bridge as I described it. But if the bridge is right after sievie output then it will not merge properly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
badgamer123 Posted March 4, 2019 Share Posted March 4, 2019 You can also using one bridge only and another one directly put into storage Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angpaur Posted March 4, 2019 Author Share Posted March 4, 2019 To fix the problem an additional segment of pipe is needed. Otherwise sieve will complain about pipe blocked if bridge is right after sieve output. Now there is a pipe going vericaly from both sieves outputs and there is one bridge that merges packets from the sievies into 10kg packet and sends it rigth to the reservoir (second screenshot).

Angpaur Posted March 4, 2019 Author Share Posted March 4, 2019 18 minutes ago, nakomaru said: You were using a bridge, but not to merge. You are using a T section to merge in both cases. A bridge to merge looks like this: You don't understand how bridges work. What you did will give total priority for lower sieve and upper will never be working at all.

Angpaur Posted March 4, 2019 Author Share Posted March 4, 2019 Right, forgot that packets are 5kg, not 10kg. I thought that any amount of liquid in pipe, a bridge is attached to, will always get priority. So you're right, it will work this way too. Thanks!
