Yes the motors will be three phase and operated via contactors but all the control and contactor coil voltages will probably be at 110 volts. Fully agree that you need a real electrician with industrial experience and not a domestic have a go type.
It is really good that at least those types of machine that were once so common across industry in the UK are being restored and used once again even if they
have outlived the industries where they were once so common. I can remember engineering firms where there would be rows of mills, lathes and other machinery all perfoming various task to manufacture some component and all those skilled machinist who would go home at the end of the day smelling of cutting fluid but that was what manufacturing was all about.
The smell always reminds me of my dad. Even when he got to a position where he had no real need to get hands on the machines he couldn't resist it.It is really good that at least those types of machine that were once so common across industry in the UK are being restored and used once again even if they
