Claim:
1. A reciprocating kneader comprising: a cylindrical casing; a screw extending into an interior of said cylindrical casing; pins extending from said interior of said cylindrical toward said screw wherein said screw comprises flights; a primary shaft adapted for coupling to a motor; a primary rotational gear attached to said primary shaft for rotation in concert with said primary shaft and imparting rotational movement to said screw; a secondary rotational gear engaged with said primary rotational gear for rotation in concert with said primary rotational gear; a secondary shaft attached to said secondary rotational gear for rotation which in concert with said secondary rotational gear; a primary oscillation gear attached to said primary shaft for rotation in concert with said primary shaft; a secondary oscillation gear engaged with said primary oscillation gear for rotation in concert with said primary oscillation gear wherein said secondary oscillation gear rotates on said secondary shaft; and wherein said secondary shaft is coupled to said secondary oscillation gear to impart oscillation movement to said screw, said rotational movement and said oscillation movement having a stroke ratio defined by the number of oscillation divided by the number of rotations per unit of time.
