Yes, that has nothing to do with the time the items have to sit on the conveyerbelt. This is a process that takes 3600x less time, not one with 3600x more throughput.
If they put 1 ton of iron ore in the furnace over a period of 1 hour, even if the iron is at the bottom of the furnace within seconds instead of hours, it doesn’t enable them to add iron ore at a faster rate.
Your made up scenario has absolutely nothing to do with how the process actually works though. You literally just made a straw man here. The reality is that the iron has to sit in the furnace for less time, and that means you can put more iron through the furnace of a particular size than you could otherwise. This really shouldn’t be a hard concept to grasp, yet here we are.

Cool. So, now they get to put several times more of the iron. I wonder if your argument is going to be ‘but they will hit another bottleneck, then’.

Oh so it does have a higher throughput too.
You could have just said that.
That is literally what I said in my first reply. 🤷
