Although weight plates may seem like a simple product, they are in fact considerably more complex. Their manufacturing process, in order to achieve a very good result, is difficult and multifaceted, while quality varies significantly from one plate to another. We will explain the process and what consumers should look for 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 a mixture of iron and carbon. The thicker the plate, the less iron the mixture contains, therefore the cheaper the product, but also the lower its quality.

With good-quality weight plates, the weight may vary by +/- 5%. If it is higher, 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 smoothed very thoroughly for a perfectly smooth finish. It is then painted with special anti-rust coatings for initial protection, and placed in large ovens to bake so that the anti-rust coating bonds effectively to the plate. Proper baking provides the appropriate initial, and most important, protection, as well as an attractive appearance. Finally, the plate is treated with special oil – varnish that gives it shine and protection. The quality of the materials used by the factory is visible in the plate’s gloss. The shinier it is, the better the materials. If proper baking is not carried out, or is not carried out at all, as many factories do to reduce costs, the plate will rust very quickly.
