The unit comprises a moulding machine having a plurality of press moulds (N) for moulding the article, which operate in sequence and are driven along a fixed operative path (P), and a feeder means (20) located in a fixed position to the side of said operative path (P) to feed to each mould (N) at least one component part (8) of the article. According to the invention, a plurality of loading means (30) are provided, each rigidly associated with a respective mould (N) and movable with the mould along said operative path (P), said loading means (30) moving relative to the respective mould (N) to transfer one component part (8) at a time from the feeder means (20) to the mould (N). Each loading means (30) comprises a gripping head (31) for taking a component part (8) from the feeder means (20) and means for moving the gripping head (31), relative to the respective mould (N), between a first position (E1) in which the head (31) takes the component part (8) from the feeder means (20) and a second position (E2) in which said head (31) releases said component part (8) to the mould (N).
