Although weight plates may appear to be a simple product, they are actually considerably more complex. Their production process, in order to achieve a very good result, is difficult and multifaceted, while quality varies significantly from one plate to another. We will attempt to 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 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.

For good-quality plates, weight may vary by +/- 5%. If the variation is greater, 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 paint for initial protection, and placed in large ovens to be baked 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, which gives it shine and protection. The quality of the materials used by the factory is visible in the gloss of the plate. The glossier 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.
