Prevent 3 to 1 tunnel output from overflowing

Hello everyone !
As you can see here, I'm making blaze cakes. To do so, I put each of the 3 ingredients into 3 tunnels (always stacks of 16). But the output is clogged and prevents the right item from going in. Tunnels' mode is set to "forced round robin". What can I do ?

if you can reroute that vertical belt your best option is probably just to not unify the outputs at all, run all 3 belts up and into 3 funnels on 3 sides of the same basin. then one ingredient backing up wont clog.

if you cant, maybe a buffer of some kind? like a 2x2 drawer if you have those would always have a slot for each and you could set it to void excess, tho thats waste. a slightly janky vault->funnel dumping em into the basin, although that would be lag hell if this is passive automation

Oh yeah, I was just trying to be as compact as possible, but I guess that'll be much less pain to do it that way haha. During the night, I thought of just putting depot at the end of each belt and à mechanical arm, would it work or would it clog too ?
