The method involves conveying objects to a take-over device (70) having discrete object receptacles (72), and receiving some of the objects in a receiving section (76) along a conveying path in the receptacles. The objects in the receptacles are conveyed downstream of the station. The objects are inserted into a material rod (1) through the take-over device or an insertion device arranged downstream in the conveying direction of the objects. Excess objects not received in the receptacle are discharged after leaving the receiving section and returned to an object supply volume. Independent claims are also included for the following: (1) an apparatus for separating and inserting objects into a material rod of a tobacco-processing industry (2) a rod maker machine (3) a method for operating an accelerator wheel.
