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

One of the first factors 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 is, but also the lower its quality.

For good-quality plates, the weight may vary by +/- 5%. If it is greater, the quality of the plate and the factory manufacturing process are not good.

The finishing process is as follows. First, once removed from the mould, the plate is ground and polished 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 cure, allowing the anti-rust coating to adhere effectively to the plate. Proper 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 glossier it is, the better the materials. If proper 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.
