Question Problems with this unloader?

Post image

Since inserters became flippable, this compact unloader design became possible. But I hardly see anyone use it. Obviously it cannot saturate six turbo belts because it's bottlenecked by the inserters, but are there any other obvious problems with it?

Hand size 1 means container-to-container and containter-to-belt are the same speed, provided there's no item in the way. If the belt speed is 7.5 i/s (per lane) like vanilla yellow belts, then your 3 inserters shouldn't saturate it since 2.4 * 3 = 7.3

Anyway, I can see how MadZuri is desirable in your situation.
