In order to improve the control accuracy of the temperature control system for the plastic extruder and better achieve optimal control between the parameter settings and the temperature of the plastic extruder, an intelligent algorithm combining improved simulated annealing (ISA) algorithm and particle swarm optimization (PSO) algorithm is studied. This algorithm is utilized to achieve automatic optimization of the PID parameters of the temperature control system, thereby making parameter optimization faster and more accurate. The benchmark test function was employed to evaluate the performance of the improved PSO (IPSO) algorithm, genetic algorithm improved PSO (GA‐PSO), simulated annealing PSO (SA‐PSO), and ISA‐PSO. The results demonstrated that the ISA‐PSO algorithm possesses stronger global optimization capability and superior convergence performance. Finally, MATLAB simulation and experimental test results indicate that, compared to the control effects of IPSO, GA‐PSO, and SA‐PSO, the PID controller optimized by the ISA‐PSO algorithm exhibits better accuracy and robustness. The temperature fluctuation of the charging barrel is significantly reduced, with the maximum value of the absolute temperature deviation being only 0.6°C and the average value of the absolute temperature deviation being approximately 0.35°C. This effectively enhances the accuracy and robustness of the temperature control system for the plastic extruder.
