New Highlights, New Directions—A Wonderful Recap of STEP 2023 International Pump and Valve Exhibition
2023-06-13
From June 5 to 7, 2023, the Shanghai Clover (National Exhibition and Convention Center) will bloom like summer lotuses and exude the fragrant elegance of magnolias. The 11th International Pump and Valve Exhibition will draw participants from all directions, attracting a multitude of businesses—just as hot and vibrant as the summer itself.

Over the three-day exhibition, STEP achieved a successful external showcase and reaped abundant rewards. Thanks to careful exhibit planning and enthusiastic interactions, visitors gained a comprehensive and in-depth understanding of STEP variable-frequency drive business as well as its intelligent emission-reduction products and solutions for the water industry. Many attendees expressed their willingness to join hands with STEP and jointly pursue a path of green and sustainable development.



The on-site booth demonstration was even more captivating. With explanations from Yang Sheng, the Water Industry Manager at Xinshi Da, the audience quickly felt closer to Xinshi Da.

During the exhibition, STEPeng also attracted attention from numerous industry media outlets. In an interview with Pump Friends Circle, Ye Qing, General Manager of STEP Variable Frequency Drive Division, shared insightful perspectives on topics such as development opportunities in the VFD industry, as well as the philosophy and value behind STEP product solutions.
According to the introduction, STEP variable-frequency drive products now cover the entire chain—from water intake and conveyance to drainage and wastewater treatment—and the product layout is essentially complete. Going forward, the company will continue to create value for its customers, guided primarily by the dual-carbon policy and driven by intelligent technologies.

PD110 Inverter

Known as the “little Pi Di” of the water industry, this product is specially designed for applications such as residential pumps and agricultural irrigation. Level control and flow rate settings can both be configured with a single touch, offering simple and user-friendly human-machine interaction. It features a 500-meter-long motor cable that’s also resistant to water splashes, ensuring robustness, durability, energy efficiency, high performance, ease of operation, and reliable performance.
AS180N Inverter

The newly upgraded AS180 inverter, a long-standing flagship product from STEP, has been on the market for over a decade in the water industry. The new model boasts higher power density and an even more extensive selection of optional features, helping customers save on cabinet assembly costs and providing greater convenience in operation and application.
D150 Smart Controller

This is an integrated smart controller designed specifically for submersible sewage pumps. Compared to conventional smart controllers, it boasts a higher protection rating—IP54—which makes it suitable for use in environments characterized by high humidity, abundant dust, and the presence of corrosive gases. It features thoughtful application functions such as automatic restart upon no-load conditions, no-load protection, rust prevention, and water-level detection. Additionally, it provides reliable protection against dual-path motor overloads, short circuits, phase failures, and no-load conditions. The controller also offers intuitive visual displays showing animated status updates on load operation and water levels. In short, this product is truly “custom-made” for customers in the water supply industry.
AS170Plus Inverter

STEP has specially developed an intelligent, efficient, quiet, and reliable frequency converter tailored for secondary water supply customers in the water industry. This converter addresses numerous pain points faced by customers, such as the frequent pump start-stop issues that arise when controlling multiple pumps with a frequency converter, as well as the problem of pumps frequently waking up and going to sleep. At the same time, it supports multiple control configurations: a PLC-free solution featuring a frequency converter plus a touch screen; a dual-system solution combining a frequency converter, PLC, and touch screen; and a traditional solution integrating a frequency converter, PLC, and touch screen.
EH6/ES6 Smart Flexible Actuator

The intelligent flexible drive is a high-quality, smart, flexible, user-friendly, and reliable drive that STEPeng has developed over more than 20 years, drawing on millions of hours of field experience in industrial automation. It is specifically designed to address the key challenges currently faced in industrial applications:
1. Quickly adapts to customer-specific differences and is applicable to asynchronous, synchronous, and reluctance motors; its parameters are self-adaptive and require no self-learning.
2. Features a rich selection of industry-specific option cards: supports various bus and protocol expansion cards; supports a wide range of closed-loop encoder boards; supports STO safety torque-off extension cards.
3, Integrates a soft PLC, enables simple secondary development, and features scalable PLC functionality.
4. Featuring a uniquely ingenious design, it is equipped with a large-screen LCD operator and comes with a built-in debugging wizard, enabling customers to quickly and easily configure the system. It also provides visual graphical displays of the operating status.

Happiness, depth, sharing, and collaboration—let humanity together enjoy the conveniences and happiness of a smart society. Products, customers, and colleagues—all have come together to compose a harmonious symphony for STEP at the 2023 International Pump & Valve Exhibition. As the highest virtue is like water, if you’d like to hear the melody of water, join hands with STEP and play in harmony—for a win-win future!
