Question on Amps

I may be buying an air compressor that the specs say is 200V, 3 phase and 91.3 amps AC.

I have a silk screen dryer already wired for 3 phase on a 2 pole 80 amp breaker.

Question: Can the compressor be wired into the dryer circuit?

I will hire a professional electrician to install this but need to know if they can share the circuit even if there's some kind of master control box that allows only one to operate at any given time.

Alternatively, given the 3 pole 100 amp outside breaker, can a new breaker be installed in the box inside to support this air compressor?
