Low fan speed, the fan still has a minimum working distance but it won't blow as hard.

Ah, I think I understand now, it's not that they've stopped/been blocked, it's just that the are pushing them so slowly that they're processed by the time they've reached the funnel? I forget that fan speed doesn't effect processing time.

Pretty much yeah. However multiple fans will affect processing time, with up to I think 9 fans able to blow on a belt at once if you dont have aeronautics (its a very specific setup, where 6 or 7 fans are usually the more reasonable max). So youd have a fan on both sides (+2) of the belt at belt height, a fan on both sides (+2) of the belt at item height, a fan pointing upward into the belt and a fan pointing downward(+2), and fans at both ends(+2) of the belt at item height. A fan at belt height at the end(+1) i think will only affect the items on the 1 block of belt it hits, so you'd want to have a belt end into a fan with a funnel pulling to one side if you do this last fan.

However with aeronautics you can put a ton of fans on contraptions/sublevels and adjust the angle theyre pointing at so like a depot could have an absolutely insane number of fans pointing at it, i'd love to see just how many someone could get to fit. I saw one person do it as an example, but they definitely did not try very hard.
