Abstract

Barrel Heating System is a system that control the temperature of the machine such as plastic molding machine. The raw pellets are sustained from the container into the barrel chamber. Then, the barrel is warmed with resistive heater bands in different type of zones. The quantity of heating zones varies from machine to machine focused around the end product. Lastly, the melt is constrained into the mold space, where it gets solidify by cooling. It is important to keep up the temperature of the melt at a desired value, in order to avoid unfinished items. Therefore, the PID controller is one of the finest controller that can improve the system. Ziegler Nichols, root-locus, auto tuning and others can be used in order to get the best result among the tuning. In addition, there are many researcher turn to metaheuristic algorithm in order to improve the system. In this paper, Bat Algorithm was selected to be used in Barrel Heating System. The project started with tuning PID controller to get the value of the controller for the barrel heating system and followed by simulation of MATLAB software with and without PID controller. Finally, the result of this model was analyzed.
