Problem-led engineering / South Africa
Practical engineering.
Built around the problem.
BTE combines process knowledge, mechanical engineering, sourcing and lifecycle support to improve production, restore equipment and develop fit-for-purpose machinery.

01 / Positioning
Different machines.
The same engineering method.
One project may be a custom earthmoving attachment. The next may be a feed plant losing throughput. BTE starts with the operating problem, then brings together the engineering, equipment and specialist support needed to make the solution work.
02 / Capabilities
Built to move with the work.
Stable engineering capabilities—applied wherever the next practical problem appears.
- 01
Diagnose & design
Assessment, feasibility, process design, CAD and reverse engineering.
- 02
Build & adapt
Custom machinery, attachments, fabrication, retrofits and integration.
- 03
Repair & restore
Troubleshooting, rebuilding and recovery of legacy equipment.
- 04
Optimise & commission
Throughput, reliability, controls, energy use and production ramp-up.
- 05
Source & supply
Equipment, spares, drives, components, dies and rollers.
03 / Equipment & Spares
Browse the working categories.
Available machinery and components will be listed against these stable categories as BTE confirms them.

Feed, Pellet & Milling
Equipment, components and practical support for feed-processing, pellet and milling systems.

Earthmoving & Attachments
Custom attachments, adaptations and components built around the machine and the work.

Motors, Drives & Controls
Electromechanical drives, switchgear, PLC work and controls for industrial equipment.

Bearings, Seals & Transmission
Sourced and engineered components that keep mechanical systems moving reliably.

Dies, Rollers & Wear Parts
Replacement and application support for high-wear production components.

Used, Refurbished & Salvage
Available machinery, reconditioned components and practical recovery of usable equipment.
Selected work / Feed plant recovery
Engineering the bottleneck—not replacing everything around it.
A two-week survey informed materials-handling changes, motor and VSD upgrades, PLC integration and phased implementation around production.

03 / Working range
From field equipment to production systems.



04 / Start a conversation
Bring the problem.
Not a perfect brief.
Send the equipment details, operating symptoms, site context and any useful photographs. BTE can help identify the practical next step.
