Method and device for inserting objects into at least one endless material rod of the tobacco processing industry. The method includes removing objects from an object supply, and accelerating the removed objects in at least one receiving unit in a conveyance direction into a receiving path in a section of an insertion belt guided by at least two redirection rollers, the insertion belt having receptacles for the objects successively arranged in at least one row to reduce a speed difference between the receptacles of the insertion belt and the objects. The method also includes receiving the objects in the receptacles along the receiving path, holding the objects in the receptacles of the insertion belt by suction air, and conveying the held objects to an insertion position at the endless material rod, and inserting the objects from the receptacles into the endless material rod at the insertion position.
