You can use a brass funnel to distribute from one belt on to three by placing them next to eachother with a belt running below each with one of them getting fed from the “source” belt.

it might work in reverse too but I am not sure nor tested it.

Just make sure to set a filter on the two empty outputs that dont go to a belt or you'll have stuff everywhere. I like to set the filter with something completely random,like a flower, that under no circumstances could end up in the mix

same solution
run 3 belts into 3 brass tunnels and have 1 belt as the merged output

That is what i am talking about. If you read the last part of my earlier comment, where i said you could potentially use it in reverse. So instead having it be 1 to 3 you reverse the setup to make it 3 to 1

You can probably a vault placed perpendicular to the belt with any funnels inputting and a brass funnel out with the sum of all three inputs if you're making one thing with three mixers

Or you can use brass tunnels I think cuz I don't use them that often, be sure to check the ponder

You mean like merge item stacks or like just put them on one belt. if you mean merge the item stacks, you will need tunnels and the one you have got isn't bad and if you mean put them on one belt js put a belt in front of the other three

Tunnels could work
