AMILA 28MM ENAMELLED GREY WEIGHT PLATE 0.5KG 44476

Although weight plates may appear to be a simple product, they are in fact considerably more complex. Their production process, in order to achieve a very good result, is difficult and multi-stage, while quality varies significantly from one plate to another. We will explain the process and what consumers should look out for before making a purchase.

One of the first factors that makes a difference in a weight plate is its thickness. The reason is that 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 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 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 cure, allowing the anti-rust coating to adhere effectively to the plate. Proper oven curing 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 gloss of the plate. The shinier it is, the better the materials. If proper oven curing is not carried out, or is not carried out at all, as many factories do to reduce costs, the plate will rust very quickly.
