I can't figure these Logistics pipes out either. The way I automate this is by using Buildcraft Pipes, Gates, Sorting Machines, and Pneumatic Tubes. I have a Diamond Chest, and anything placed into it is automatically pumped out through a Wooden Transport Pipe with an Autarchic Gate attached into a phased Transport pipe. This outputs directly over a Transposer which will send them to the sorting machine. Then they travel to the right Macerator-Furnace system. Each of those moves the dust to the furnace through the same Wooden-Autarchic pipe as the chest, and from the furnace back to the original Phased transport pipe output. The ingots go back through the sorting system into their appropriate chests.

Still quite fiddly, but nowhere near as fiddly as Logistics. I've tried absolutely everything with them, and still can't get them to work properly.
