Balanceerders worden gebruikt om items gelijk overe meerdere banden of meerdere banen te verdelen.
Transportbandbalanceerders worden meestal gebruikt om meerdere banden voor of na een treinstation te balanceren, zodat de bufferkisten en treinwagons gelijkmatig worden gevult. Transportbandbalanceerders balanceren de individuele banen niet!
Baanbalancers worden meestal geplaatst na productie om er voor te zorgen dat een transportband op volledige capaciteit werkt, of om te zorgen dat beide zijdes van een transportband gelijk worden geleegd bij consumptie.
Baanbalanceerders
Input ongebalanceerd, Output gebalanceerd
Deze balanceerders verdelen de items gelijk over de twee uitgaande banen, maar verbruiken de binnenkomende banen niet gelijk wanneer uitgaande band niet meer beweegt. Ze zijn binnenkomend ongebalanceerd.
De laatste twee balanceerders zijn speciaal, ze werken enkel wanneer er items aan een kant van de binnenkomende band is.
One lane-corner-lane balancer.gif
Input gebalanceerd, Output ongebalanceerd
Deze balanceerders verdelen de items over de uitgaande banen en "gebruiken" beide binnenkomende banen om en om. Deze balanceerders zijn niet gebalanceerd aan de uitgaande zijde, wat betekent dat, wanneer er minder dan 100% capaciteit binnenkomt, de uitgaande banen niet gebalanceerd is.

Input en Output gebalanceerd
These balancers always evenly distribute the items onto the output lanes and "pull" evenly from the input lanes.

Belt Balancers
These belt balancers are all tested to be input balanced and output balanced. Remember, belt balancers do not balance the individual belt lanes! Throughput under full load is 100% and min throughput with blocked in- and outputs is also tested, it is noted when that is under 100%. Tests are done using this handy tool by d4rkpl4y3r on the Factorio Forums. When there are multiple versions of balancers that have the same stats but different sizes, the balancer with the smallest footprint is shown.

Mechanics
1 full input belt gets split into two 50% full belts which get split into 4 belts that are each 25% full.
Belt balancers use the mechanic that splitters output items in a 1:1 ratio onto both their output belts. That means that a splitter can be used to put an equal amount of items on two belts. Since the process can be repeated infinitely, balancers with 2n output belts are easy to create.
First the belts A and B go through a splitter so that the output belts contain an equal amount of items from each input belt (AB). The same is done with belts C and D. Then the mixed belts AB and CD go through splitters so that their output belts contain items from each input belt (ABCD)!
Balancers also use the mechanic that splitters take an equal amount of items from both input belts. That means that a splitter connected to two input belts will evenly distribute those items onto the the two output belts. To balance belts it has to be made sure that the output belts contain an equal number of items from each input belt.
Throughput
The above collection of balancers often states that the throughput of a balancer can go down to x% which means that the balancer is throughput limited. To be throughput unlimited, a balancer must fulfil the following conditions:
- 100% throughput under full load.
- Any arbitrary amount of input belts should be able to go to any arbitrary amount of output belts.
All balancers in the collection meet the first condition, but only some meet the second one. This is the case because the balancers have internal bottlenecks. The gif on the right shows a 4 → 4 balancer being fed by two belts, but only outputting one belt which means that its througput in that arrangement is 50%. The bottleneck in this balancer is that the two middle belts only get input from one splitter. So, if only one side of that splitter gets input, as can be seen in the gif, it can only output one belt even though the side of the splitter is fed by a splitters which gets two full belts of input. In this particular case, the bottleneck can be fixed by feeding the two middle output belts with more splitters. This is done by adding two more splitters at the end of the balancer, as it can be seen here:
However most balancers' bottlenecks can't be solved as easily. A guaranteed method to achieve throughput unlimited balancers is to place two balancers back to back that fulfil the first condition for throughput unlimited balancers (100% throughput under full load). The resulting balancer is usually larger than a balancer that was initially designed to be throughput unlimited. This is the case because they use more splitters than the minimum required amount of n*log2(n)-n/2 where n is the (power-of-two) number of belts splitters for a throughput unlimited balancer.
