OEM/ODM Capability: We provide full design-to-production support, from 3D rendering of your logo placement to mold development, ensuring your branded competition plate stands out in the market.
2. Production Process & Quality Assurance
The BP003 is manufactured through a precision compression molding process with strict adherence to IWF technical specifications.
Raw Material Selection
-
High-density virgin rubber compound – Formulated to achieve the exact shore hardness (85A ± 2) required for controlled rebound (IWF standard: ≤ 30% of drop height)
-
High-grade steel insert – Precision-machined from cold-rolled steel with nickel-chrome plating for rust resistance and consistent sleeve fit
Key Manufacturing Steps
-
Raw Material Mixing: Automated batching system ensures formula consistency across every production run
-
Precision Molding: High-pressure compression molds with CNC-machined cavities guarantee dimensional accuracy and smooth finish
-
Hub-Rubber Bonding: Proprietary adhesive treatment and high-temperature vulcanization ensure zero hub separation, even after thousands of drops
-
Final Calibration: Each plate is individually weighed and matched to ensure pair consistency
Quality Testing (Per Batch)
-
Drop Test: 30,000+ cycles from 1.2m onto concrete surface – no cracking, no hub loosening
-
Weight Accuracy: 100% inspection with certified scales; tolerance maintained at ±0.5% (meeting IWF Class 2 requirements)
-
Hub Fit Test: Tested on standard IWF-spec barbell sleeves (50mm) to ensure smooth loading and secure fit
-
Salt Spray Test: 72-hour corrosion resistance verification for hub plating
