Besides the tough construction of our mills, there are many other important features that set the Rhino range of band sawmills apart from its competitors. Some of the key features are: 

Simplicity of design. At Rhino we believe in keeping it simple by focusing our attention on building a world class mill which operates reliably without the need for finicky and breakable parts and electronics. We know that the milling environment in Africa is tough, so we build our machines accordingly.

Standardized parts. All our sawmills are built using standard internationally-available parts which are non-specific to our brand and can therefore be easily bought from your local engineering and bearings shop. Of course we stock all the parts you’ll ever need, but we believe that our customers should always have the option to buy spares locally in times of need as to minimize machine downtime and to reduce dependence on only one source of supply.

Interlocking bed design. Our sawmill bed carriages are made up of interlocking sections, allowing the bed length and log capacity to be extended as needed, importantly it also allows for easy replacement of damaged bed sections without the need for full bed replacement as is the case with many other mills.

Easy transportations. The interlocking design of the Rhino sawmill beds implies that the machines can be broken down and palletized as to take up far less space during transport, and is therefore much cheaper and easier to handle in terms of transportation. The customer then simply re-assembles the bed carriage when the mill reaches its destination. 

Long lasting bearings. Our Rhino sawmills come equipped with some of the best bearings money can buy – meaning a much longer life for each bearing. We don’t cut corners on quality and neither should you. 

We stock and sell a wide range of high quality band saw blades for a variety of wood types and applications. Speak to our service team and they will advise.

All spares and consumables can be purchased conveniently via our website to be delivered by courier to your door. Alternatively, due to the benefit of Rhino sawmills using standardized parts, in most cases you will be able to buy bearings, bolts, lubricants and other consumables over the counter from your local spares shop.

The most common parts and consumables needed are band wheel bearings, blade guide rollers, band wheel belts, drive belts and service kits for the Kohler gas engines which includes air filters, main air filters, oil filters and oil, fuel filters and spark plugs. All these parts are readily available.

Of course, we regularly provide technical training to our customers and their machine operators across Africa. Training can be provided on premises or in the field.
