Love to see the business end of that! Is the inner mandrel "corrugated" too? or does it end up a smooth bore?

It could be that there is no inner mandrel, just a bunch of high-pressure spray nozzles

You can get pipe like that in both single layer ribbed inner surface and double layer smooth liner. Don't know how they do it though.

I do a lot of work in wood products and OSB. Most of the OSB you buy is made on a continuous press. Very similar in principle to this pipe extruder.

Now, that's a innovative molding technique!
Though if spraying is involved, it's not really molding, but forming. Additive yes, but still closely related work such as turning with form tools, which is subtractive.
