German term or phrase: in die Verbrennung geben
Und gleich noch eine Frage zum gleichen Abschnitt über die Betriebsweise einer Altholzaufbereitungsanlage:

Das Grobgut mit den kleineren Fraktionen wird mit Gurtbändern in ein Wasserbad transportiert, in dem die Schlechtteile mittels Schwerkraft aussortiert werden. Beim Ausfall des Wasserbades wird das Grobgut mit den schwereren Fraktionen komplett **in die Verbrennung gegeben**.
[...]
Die schweren, feinen Teile werden verworfen und mit einem Radlader zur **Verbrennung** transportiert.


Ich bin mir nicht sicher, wie und ob ich hier mit "combustion" arbeiten kann.

will be incinerated
Explanation:
The coarse material along with the smaller bits and anchor straps will be taken for a water bath where the poor quality bita are sorted by use of gravity; after the bath any coarse and heavy matter will be incinerated ( because it has no practical use, although it sounds strange , because preumably it will be wet and hence difficult to incinerate)

neutral  Yorkshireman: That would be "werden verbrannt". The action of earmarking or sending the residues for incineration when the sink and float tank is out of order (Ausfall) doesn't come through. Are incinerated would be perfect.

sent for incineration


Explanation:
If the sink float tank is out of order, the entire waste comprising coarse material and heavier fractions is sent for incineration.

A "Sink float tank" is a separator for gravity/flotation separation of heavy/light wastes from shredded wood fibres or plastics.
