In a cassette loading machine several loading modules carry out the loading of a predetermined amount of use tape into the individual cassettes, said tape being continuously supplied from a pancake mounted on a support hub. When one of the pancakes mounted on one of the hubs is out of tape, the intervention of a manipulating unit occurs and said unit picks up, by means of a grasping and release member carried by a supply module, a new pancake filled with use tape from a storage unit located sideways. The manipulating unit moves close to the out of tape pancake and removes it from the respective support hub with the aid of a grasping member carried by a discharge module. Them the new pancake filled with use tape is mounted onto the support hub in place of the out of tape pancake.
