BTH Andromeda pottery wheel

BTH Andromeda Pottery Wheel – Professional Power with Direct Drive

The Andromeda is the more powerful sister model to the Sirius in the BTH (Jingdezhen Baitaohui Ceramic Equipment Co., Ltd., China) range. It is aimed at professional studios, schools, and ambitious amateur potters looking for a powerful direct drive for large forms and intensive, continuous use.

Why is the BTH Andromeda the right choice?

Compared to the Sirius, the Andromeda features a direct drive instead of a belt drive and, with a centering capacity of up to 60 kg, provides significantly more power for large vessels and bowls. Those who regularly throw large shapes or subject the wheel to heavy use in classes are better served by the Andromeda than by the more compact entry-level model.

Technical Highlights & Benefits

• Powerful direct drive: Fast response, smooth operation, and excellent control even at low speeds.
• Freewheel at 0 rpm: The wheel can be rotated freely, which is practical for centering and trimming.
• Magnetic splash pan: Two-piece and tool-free removable – quick cleanup after throwing.
• Dual hole pattern: Aluminum wheel head with holes for EU (250 mm) and US (254 mm) standards – compatible with common 254 mm bat systems.
• 36-month manufacturer's warranty with spare parts supply provided by the manufacturer.

Which accessories are right for me?

As with the Sirius, the Andromeda wheel head has holes for 2 pins at a 254 mm distance (US standard) in addition to the 250 mm EU hole pattern, according to the manufacturer. We recommend the Lindemann bat system (plastic) – explicitly advertised by Lindemann as compatible with other brands, and its water resistance makes it ideal for batch production of the larger forms the Andromeda enables. Before your first intensive session, we still recommend a quick test, as minimal manufacturing tolerances in pin diameter can occur between brands. For a healthy sitting posture during longer sessions, the Lindemann potter's stool complements your workstation; as a piece of seating furniture without any interface to the machine, it is perfectly suited for any wheel. Both can be ordered directly above as a variant.
