The present invention relates to a processing technology for manufacturing seepage irrigation pipe with alternating effluent sections and non-effluent sections, and in particular, to the field of underground seepage irrigation in agriculture and forestry. The processing technology combines the production unit for water-effluent pipes with the production unit for non-effluent pipes, and produces the seepage irrigation pipeline by adjusting the raw material ratios, controlling the spindle speed, spindle acceleration time, and spindle deceleration time of the two pipeline production units, to generate a seepage irrigation pipe with alternating effluent sections and non-effluent sections. The lengths of the effluent sections and non-effluent sections can be adjusted, the pipe wall thickness can also be adjusted by adjusting the inner and outer diameter of the internal mold of the pipe forming unit, a seepage irrigation pipe with alternating effluent sections and non-effluent sections is environment-friendly, efficient, water-saving, and useful for underground irrigation.
