How should slicer blades and moving parts be secured for export shipping?

Before crating, remove circular or toothed blades from the spindle, shield the cutting edge, and seat each in a foam cutout; lock the feed guide, pressure arm, and thickness adjuster in their original travel position with bolts or straps, adding wooden braces where needed so sea or road vibration cannot cause collision or drift. Have the maker mark every tie-down point and any detached part on the packing list, with refitting order plus rust oil and desiccant quantities. On arrival, check blades for chipping and rails for shift, then idle-run to confirm smooth reset. Record edge condition and all locking points on the incoming report, photographing them alongside motor nameplate data as the setup baseline.
