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 multifaceted, 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. 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.

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

The finishing process is as follows. First, once removed from the mould, the plate is ground and polished very thoroughly 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 first and most important level of 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 can be seen in the gloss of the plate. The glossier it is, the better the materials are. If proper baking is not carried out, or is not carried out at all, as many factories do to reduce costs, the plate will quickly rust.
