Although weight plates may seem like a simple product, they are actually considerably more complex. Their manufacturing process, in order to achieve a very good result, is difficult and complex, while quality varies significantly from one plate to another. We will explain the process and what consumers should consider before making a purchase.

One of the first things that makes a difference in a weight plate is its thickness. This is because cast iron is an alloy of iron and carbon. The thicker the plate, the less iron the alloy contains, therefore the cheaper the product, but also the lower its quality.

With good-quality plates, the weight may vary by +/- 5%. If it varies more, the quality of the plate and the quality of the factory process are not good.

The finishing process is as follows. First, once removed from the mould, the plate is ground and carefully polished to achieve a perfectly smooth finish. It is then painted with special anti-rust coatings for initial protection, and placed in large ovens to be baked so that the anti-rust coating adheres effectively to the plate. Proper baking provides the appropriate initial, and most important, protection as well as an attractive appearance. Finally, the plate is coated with special oil – varnish, which gives it shine and protection. The quality of the materials used by the factory can be seen in the gloss of the plate. The glossier it is, the better the materials. If it is not properly baked or not baked at all, as many factories do to reduce costs, the plate will rust very quickly.
