I've got a working version in an A&D Scene which isn't applicable for my production scene unfortunately.
But it'll help to illustrate what I want to do.
This version works with forces.
I created a bunch of Motion field forces and linked them to the purple boxes they suck the particles in and help to keep them in.
As you can see, sometimes there are 2 particles in one box and the red plane separates them. The second one falls back into the reservoir. This is intentional, its one feature of the machine I'm trying to animate.
In my production scene, the wheel spins faster and the particles aren't perfect spheres, so this approach just refuses to work.
Keeping them in by forces doesn't seem to be reliable. I'd rather like to somehow link them to the boxes instead.
Here is this test scene in case somebody wants to take a look:
Its made in 2020.
