What it is
A single-head 15-needle embroidery machine with a 360 × 500 mm tubular field, an 86 × 360 mm wide cap frame and frames for finished products up to 380 × 438 mm. This page also covers the compact CAII, the 1200 mm V1200 and the drop-table CII.
Who it's for
Uniform rooms, embroidery shops and personalisation studios in the UAE, the GCC, Ghana, Kenya and Ethiopia, and multi-head factories that need a machine for samples and names.
Why this model
Choose it for short runs and samples on caps and finished garments: it stitches at up to 1,300 rpm on tubular work and needs only a single-phase socket.
A single head beside your multi-heads
Many embroidery rooms run a BEKT next to their multi-heads for samples, names and rush orders. We set it up with the frames your products need.

What the BEKT-S1501CBIII does on a factory floor

Name drop
Embroider each name in a list on its own
Name drop separates the names in a multiple-name design, so each one can be viewed and embroidered on its own. The name list shows every name with its stitch count, and the thumbnail list lets the operator pick the next one.
On the factory floorName drop separates the names in one design, so the operator picks each name from the list and every team kit or staff uniform carries its own name.

New trimmer and narrow cylinder arm
Deeper into finished products
A smaller-diameter cylinder arm and the new trimmer let the BEKT-S1501CBIII embroider deeper into confined areas of finished products. The new tensioner makes thread tension easier to set and thread breaks more reliable to detect.
On the factory floorThe smaller cylinder arm and new trimmer reach deeper into confined areas, so designs go on finished products a wider arm would not fit into.

Laser pointer and LED light
See where the design will land
A laser pointer marks the needle position on the garment, and an LED back light lights the embroidery area under the head. The automat has an 8.4 inch touch screen and holds 100 designs and 70 million stitches.
On the factory floorThe laser pointer marks the needle position on the garment and the LED light shows the area, so the operator checks the logo position before stitching starts.
BEKT-S1501CAII
The most compact: 250 × 400 mm, 1,200 rpm, 73 kg, on a bench or the optional steel stand.
BEKT-S1501CBIII V1200
A 360 × 1200 mm field with extension tables, for banners and flags.
BEKT-S1501CII
The largest single-head field, 450 × 520 mm, on a drop-table frame.
All four run on single-phase 100-240 V at 0.225 kW, with stitch length 0.1-12.7 mm.

The CAII is the most compact (250 × 400 mm). The CBIII is the all-rounder (360 × 500 mm, 1,300 rpm). The V1200 adds a 360 × 1200 mm field for banners and flags. The CII has the largest field, 450 × 520 mm, on a drop-table frame.
Does the BEKT embroider caps and hats?
Yes. The CBIII and V1200 take an 86 × 360 mm wide cap frame, the CII a 79 × 360 mm frame and the CAII a 72 × 360 mm frame. Caps run at up to 1,000 rpm.
