A method and a device are specified for feeding, arranging and distributing articles on a conveyor and for inserting the articles in receptacles, particularly for articles which are identical or similar to each other (monoproducts). The system involved is flexible and cost-effective in operation, with which articles of differing shape and size can be processed without any substantial alteration of its components. For this purpose, articles fed unarranged are gathered by means of gathering rails in lanes in juxtaposition and apportioned, counted and distributed according to the capacity of subsequent inserter means, to form groups having the same number of articles which are transferred into receptacles, whereby excess articles are diverted from one lane to a neighboring lane.
