Abstract

The induction module has an induction manifold with at least to induction channels and closing devices in the form of valves (17, 18) to control the through flow cross section. They are operated by a common operating device via a coupling (22). They have rotating shafts (19, 20) aligned with each other and connected by the coupling.
